Psychic probe is the most basic psionic discipline taught to the Infecti. Because of this it is also one of the most versatile of them. Basic use of the discipline is to punch through victim's mental defences and form a conduit between his and psionicist's mind. Probing can penetrate any form of mental defences or barriers if the prober is just skilled enough.

Other uses of the discipline are to cast it at 'list'. 

Using the discipline this way it gives a brief list of all your active psychic probes. If the prober is skilled in considering he is able to consider his victims psionically with the probe if he succeeds to penetrate through his mental defences. This of course means that he doesn't only consider him but also tries to probe and lower the defences of the victim.

This aspect of the
spell is used by casting it 'at <target> to consider'. 
Psionicists with
very high consider skill are also able to probe spell capabilities of their 
victims with psychic probe using by it with 'at <target> to probe spells'.

There is also a possibility to damage the mind of the one being probed if the prober has knowledge about aggressive probing.

If one wants to damage
the mind being probed he may cast the spell 'at <target> to damage.

Damaging the mind while lowering the mental resistances of the target is very useful ability to have if you are planning on defeating your opponents. Aggressive probing has a one down point and it is that the prober will reveal himself to the victim and the victim will without doubt attack the prober. Normal probing may also make some people aggressive if they notice that they are being probed.

Probes can be removed from target's mind by evoking the discipline 'at
<target> to remove'. This discipline can affect whole party at the same
time by casting it at 'party'.

This discipline is related to elemental Antimagic.
