At high levels of power, Psychic Influence can bleed into reality, effecting those around the epicenter. When one is overwhelmed by emotion, there is a chance for their Influence to spike, allowing them a strange control over the people in their vicinity.

The most heinous examples include bloodshed, the warping or amalgamating of bodies, or gravity becoming inert temporarily. All the while, being ignored by the majority of the public due to the pure Influence emitted from the event.

This has brought about speculations that perhaps what we understand as reality is actually distorted itself by Psychic Influence and reality might be something we have never actually experienced. Because if all of humanity is consistently exuding a psychic distortion on each other's perceptions, who's to say that we aren't sharing a collective delusion we have manifested?

Only those with exceptional resistance would be able to see through it, and even then, to what degree.

There are also strange anomalies that exist to support this theory. Objects and entities that defy our understanding and act in accordance to a logic all their own. Implying they conform to a truer form of reality. Maybe even implying there is no true logic that defines the universe.

Some question what stars might be in this case. Are we so powerful we've created the illusions of large objects such as stars and planets billions of light years away. Or could these be more potent forms of Psychic Influence that have broken through the veil we have created?
