| - People who display psychic powers, in Kartazia, are known as "Mentalists". Mentalists have been around since the dawn of time and have always been integrated with society. They are MUCH rarer than mages: only one in each 100.000 individuals is born a mentalist, but they are widely accepted and, some times, feared. Because they are few, they have ever found ways to be close to others of their kind, A mentalist's life is anything but easy, and close proximity with mages is often a problem for them, as they are invariable seen as a good source of study. Anyone can become a Mentalist at any moment, and the process by which a person starts gaining psychic powers is called an "Awakening". Awakening usually happens during late adolescence, although there are also cases of late bloomers. Cases in which a child became a mentalist are less than 10 throughout history (and in most of these cases, they went mad during puberty). Unlike Magery, psychic powers are not hereditary. A mentalist couple has as good a chance as anyother to have a mentalist offspring.
