Waveform

Waveform is an ability that enhances the potency of telekinetic abilities. Waveform always has a significant energy cost, even at Extreme Mastery and above.

• For conventional, directional abilities (i.e. Force Push, Force Pull, Force Wave, etc), Waveform increases the equivalent output of the ability (i.e. how "much push" there is). 

  • • This also applies to non-directional conventional abilities that don't move objects (i.e. Force Crush, Force Rend, etc) but this is only unlocked at Mastery.

• For abilities that move an object (i.e. Force Throw, Move Object, etc), Waveform can only increase the speed at which the object is moved. This is only unlocked at Mastery.

• For non-conventional abilities (i.e. TLSC, Force Burst, Force Destruction, Force Whirlwind, Saber Throw, etc), it is output or speed depending on the context. However, this is only unlocked at The Mastery. 

As such, it works like so:

• Begun Training

  • • No usage.

• Skilled

  • • Waveform provides advantage in equal skill level match ups

    • Absurdly high energy cost

• Proficient

  • • Using Waveform in conjunction with a Telekinetic ability will raise its equivalent output (not efficiency nor technique) by one. Alternatively, they raise the speed of the ability by +1 level. 

      • • For example, if one has Force Push at Skilled, it will have the output of a Force Push at Proficient.

        • If one has a base speed of Low B, they can use Waveform to make their Force Push move at Middle B.

    • Extremely high energy cost. 

• Highly Proficient

  • • Using Waveform in conjunction with a Telekinetic ability will raise its equivalent output (not efficiency nor technique) by two. Alternatively, they raise the speed of the ability by +2 levels.

      • • For example, if one has Force Push at Skilled, it will have the output of a Force Push at Highly Proficient.

        • If one has a base speed of Low B, they can use Waveform to make their Force Push move at High B.

    • Extremely high energy cost. 

    • Can be used on the abilities of allies. 

• Mastery

  • • Using Waveform in conjunction with a Telekinetic ability will raise its equivalent output (not efficiency nor technique) by three. 

      • • For example, if one has Force Push at Skilled, it will have the output of a Force Push at Mastery. 

        • If one has a base speed of Low B, they can use Waveform to make their Force Push move at Low A.

    • High energy cost. 

    • Can be used on the abilities of allies. 

    • Can be used on non-directional Force Abilities (Force Grip, Force Crush, Move Object, etc)

Beyond this point, Waveform does not provide any additions to output, but instead changes in efficiency and provides additional benefits:

• Extreme Mastery

  • • High energy cost. 

    • Unlocks Destructive Interference

• The Mastery

  • • Improves Destructive Interference

    • Medium energy cost. 

    • Can be applied to non-conventional telekinetic techniques, such as Saber Throw, TLSC, etc.
