Many use them for communication, but most sorcerers tend to have disdain for their use—probably due to their connection with Eastern witchcraft. A notable exception to this tendency is Daymar.

- Psychics are extremely powerful humans who are born with supernatural abilities. These abilities can include seeing into the past/present/future, moving objects with their mind, summoning/binding spirits, and reading minds. When first manifesting their abilities, they may experience severe headaches if they have precognitive abilities, such as Sam, or may experience only mild headaches after developing their abilities further, such as Ansem Weems. Some psychics practice witchcraft to enhance or curtail their abilities, but are not always classified as witches. By selling their soul to a demon (Borrowers) or by studying how to harness the forces of nature (Students), they become witches and gain the ability to extend their lifespan and gain more power/abilities. When Borrower Witches die, their deal is up and they are sent to Hell to be turned into a demon themselves, albeit with their psychic abilities further along then other hellbound souls, thus making them a particularly powerful demon when they turn after a few centuries of torture and damnation.

* Psychic vampire. Cannibal is the only psychic described by Anita as a psychic vampire. His ability allows him to feed on others memories and emotions, mostly violent. This ability also allows him to take and erase memories from a person, leaving him a blank, and make them his own.
* Telepathy. Telepaths can read minds, and although Anita has not met a telepath, she briefly mentions them in the series. Although psychic abilities may be very prominent, some people don't even know they're psychic. For example, Zerbrowski, one of Anita's police friends, is said to be a little psychic. When a vampire's power is floating around the room, Anita is said to have seen Zebrowski shiver, and none of the other police officers.
