Avenue by which one directly manipulates their own psionic energy directly to use as leverage to harness more of their psionic energy to charge their power.

Psionics

Due to the cyclical nature by which intelligent psionic energy is accumulated, circular imagery is prevalent in the casting of spells in this manner - from circular motions used to focus the caster to the tiered rings each spell falls under according to their skill requirement.

A caster of Intelligent psionics can be picked out from other psionic casters, as they are the only ones who use their psionic energy efficiently enough not to lose any significant amount through light emission and spatial distortion, though in cases of undisciplined mages or those casting unfamiliar spells, their aura may be observed, which periodically expands.

Intelligent psionics allows for the most potent tapping into the individual's own psionic energy, and thus requires the least natural psionic affinity to perform powerful spells, and therefore is one of the most approachable techniques for harnessing psionic energy.
