····· Protective Aura: This power is potent, even if it has no combat application (against terrestrial life anyway, an anaerobe would find it devastating). The Psion generates a powerful attractive force, capable of seizing the air around himself and holding it in place around him, despite enormous sea pressure, the hungry void of vacuum and / or extremes of temperature. It is an obvious enhancement of the powers of Fixation and Constriction to secure the atmosphere around the moving Psion as a defense against environmental extremes.

System: The Psion must roll Psi and spend 2 Psi to establish the stable zone. The area is Psi meters in radius (although it can be made smaller if this is decided upon rolling to establish the field) and lasts for a number of hours equal to the successes rolled (and can be extended again for only 1 Psi, but a new roll must be made). The spherical bubble of atmosphere is not self-replenishing, but assume that the air in the bubble is enough to support one person for one hour / Psi rating. This portable ecosphere will travel with the user, displacing all other gases or liquids and surviving even in vacuum. It retains its ambient temperature and confers the benefits of Flame Immunity and Thermal Screen to all within as it regulates to prevent extremes of heat or cold from affecting the atmosphere (or people) within its confines. The regulatory effects are not a perfect defense against sudden and unexpected changes, such as those from an attack, even if the field can protect against the more intense heat or cold of interplanetary space more effectively. The field will slowly purge carbon dioxide from its outer surface (but not admit surrounding gases in any event) and thus will shrink as the breathable atmosphere within it is exhausted. This power does not generate fresh or breathable air and any toxins or fluids generated within the area are not purged or affected in anyway. Thus a Psion could come into an underground facility through a river entrance and enter completely dry through use of this effect, pushing water away from him as he moves, but once inside the facility and an opponent happens to move within his radius, that foes drug-spritzing L-K Sprayer will work just fine against the Psion.
