Attrapulsive Effects

Any result of the deliberate effort of a pulser, usually using a coupling handle or stable-machine. Effects usualy relate to the remote manipulation of objects.

Basic effects

Effects available even to beginners.

Hopping

A ‘hop’ is a beginner’s first attempt at kinesis, which is what new pulsers typically learn first. The target objects jumps, jolts or skips a short distance as a results of being reached by a short uncontrolled surge of attrapulsive energy. Hopping is actually quite hard to do, and is where most beginners expect to plateau for a long time during their education.

Intermediate effects

Known effects available to a skilled practitioner.

Kinesis

Manipulating objects, allowing for lifting, rotation, or projectiles.

Repulsion shield

Creating an invisible barrier that repels objects or projectiles, acting as a defensive measure.

Binding

Using attrapulsion to keep objects or people stuck together, restricting movement or immobilising targets.

Signalling

Transmitting messages or information by creating strong attrapulsive echoes that can be sensed by a remote pulser.

Channelling

Redirecting attrapulsive energy from an external source through a conduit of some attrapulsive material, usually to build stable machines, or temporarily boost the power of one’s own abilities.

Environmental control

Using attrapulsion to influence weather patterns or control the movement of air or water, potentially for agriculture or climate management purposes.

Advanced effects

Difficult, complex or dangerous abilities only available to high level pulsers.

Levitation

Lifting objects or people, and maintaining a stable position above the ground. Levitating objects is very difficult and requires practice to maintain balance. Levitating people is not illegal but it is quite dangerous and isn’t commonly attempted even by experienced pulsers.

Shuddering

Violently shaking a target back and forth rapidly, causing structural damage or injury. Shuddering is extremely illegal.

Feedback

Exploiting the coupling between a handle and it’s user to cause overexertion in the user’s brain. Feedback happens naturally, but the ability to exploit it deliberately is a high-level skill. Intentionally inflicting feedback isn’t specifically illegal, but it constitutes a form of assault, which is.
