Shield of Sanguinius | 12 || Friendly Blood Angels Unit | Until the start of your next Psychic phase, target unit has a 5+ invulnerable save. | 6 |- ! 4 !! Blood Boil | 6 || Visible Enemy Unit | Roll 2D6.

Blood Lance | 12 || Visible Enemy Model | Draw a line between the target and the psyker. Roll a D6 for each model the centre of the line passes over. For each roll of 5+ that model’s unit suffers a mortal wound. Similar to Gaze of the Emperor that Psykana psykers can cast; has reliable range, but even worse mortal wound output. | 6 |- ! 6 !! Wings of Sanguinius | N/A || Self | The psyker can immediately move as if it were your Movement phase, but his Move characteristic is also increased to 12" and he gains the FLY keyword until the start of your next Psychic phase (this means he can shoot if he Fell Back in his Movement phase). In addition, whilst this power is in effect, you can re-roll failed charge rolls for the psyker. | 5 |- |} </div> <div style="margin-left: 1em;> =====Dark Angels===== Dark Angels psykers lose Librarius and instead use Interromancy. {| class="wikitable sortable" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;" |+ Interromancy !

Aversion | 24 || Visible Enemy Unit | Until the start of your next Psychic phase, target unit has -1 to hit. | 6 |- ! 3 !! Righteous Repugnance | 12 || Friendly Dark Angels Unit | Until the start of your next Psychic Phase, target unit can re-roll all failed hit and wound rolls for melee weapons. | 7 |- ! 4 !! Trephination | 18 || Closest Visible Enemy Unit | Roll 2D6, adding 2 to the total if the psychic test was more than 10. The target unit suffers a mortal wound for each point over the units highest Leadership value. (This is worse than Smite in all circumstances.) | 7 |- ! 5 !! Engulfing Fear | Aura 6 || Enemy Units | Until the start of your next Psychic Phase, target units must roll 2 dice and discard the lowest when taking Morale tests in the Morale phase. | 6 |- ! 6 !! Mind Wipe | 18 || Visible Enemy Model | Each player rolls a D6 and adds their model’s Leadership characteristic to their result. If your opponent scores higher, or if the scores are drawn, nothing happens. If the psyker’s score is higher, the target takes -1 WS, BS and Ld for the rest of the battle. | 7 |} </div> <div style="margin-left: 1em;> =====Grey Knights===== {| class="wikitable sortable mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;" |+ Sanctic |- ! scope=col | Number ! scope=col | Name ! scope=col | Charge ! scope=col | Type ! scope=col | Range ! scope=col | Target ! scope=col | Description ! scope=col | <abbr title="Units that must know this power.">Units</abbr> |- ! scope = row | 1 ! scope = row | Astral Aim | 6 || Blessing || 0 || Caster's Unit | style="text-align:left;" | Until your next psychic phase, the target can re-roll one hit roll when selected to shoot and ranged attacks models in it make ignore cover. *Use this to thwart Ork Boyz who think they're being clever by declaring a charge against you from around a barricade, or destroy cover-camping assholes like Tau or Imperial Guard. | [[{{PAGENAME}}#Heavy Support|Purgation Squad]]s |- ! scope = row | 2 ! scope = row | Purge Soul | 6 || Witchfire || 12 || Visible Enemy Unit that has not been targeted by Purge Soul this phase | style="text-align:left;" | Caster and target each roll 1d6+Ld.

However, the average mortal wounds dealt by this power is very low - if your target's Ld equals your own, you'll deal an average of 1 MW ''after'' successfully casting (0.28 including base casting odds). | |- ! scope = row | 3 ! scope = row | Hammerhand | 5 || Blessing || 0 || Caster's Unit | style="text-align:left;" | Until your next psychic phase, the target can re-roll melee wound rolls (which is almost always better than +1 to wound). | [[{{PAGENAME}}#Troops|Strike Squad]]s, [[{{PAGENAME}}#Troops|Terminator Squad]]s, [[{{PAGENAME}}#Heavy Support|Nemesis Dreadknight]]s |- ! scope = row | 4 ! scope = row | Purifying Flame | 5 || Witchfire || 9 || Closest Visible Enemy Unit | style="text-align:left;" | Target suffers 3 MW plus another 1d3 if the Psychic Test was 11+. This deals nearly half again as many MWs as Smite (2.67 vs. Smite's 1.79). You're essentially getting something of a psychic shotgun, and Purifiers in particular love using it to blast the ever-loving shit out of an enemy.

With a slightly clever setup, you can toss your Dreads around the board like some rabbit on speed, popping where it must go the moment it is needed.

No problem, just zip away. |- ! scope = row | 2 ! scope = row | Empyric Amplification | 7 || Malediction || 12 || Visible Enemy Unit | style="text-align:left;" | Until the start of your next Psychic phase, Nemesis and psi weapons gain +1D against the target. *Nice against whatever a purgation squad or melee anything is going to attack. |- ! scope = row | 3 ! scope = row | Sanctuary | 6 || Blessing || 18 || Friendly {{W40kKeyword|GREY KNIGHTS}} unit | style="text-align:left;" | Until the start of your next Psychic phase, target gets a 4++. *This power doesn't help Grand Masters, Captains, Chaplains, or Champions.

Broadly speaking, all of these powers are inferior to at least one power in at least one other discipline; a Space Wolves psyker's best power will usually be ''Smite''. {| class="wikitable sortable" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;" |+ Tempestas ! Number !! Name !! Range !! Target !! Description !! Charge |- ! 1 !! Living Lightning | 18 || Enemy Unit | Deals 1d3 mortal wounds to the nearest visible enemy unit. If the targeted unit is destroyed by this power, the closest enemy unit within 18" of the last enemy model to be removed by the power also takes 1d3 mortal wounds. This repeats until either a unit is not destroyed by the power or when there are no units close enough to a destroyed unit for it to spread. | 6 |- ! 2 !! Tempest's Wrath | 24 || Enemy Unit | Until the start of your next Psychic phase, target unit has -1 to hit. Copied and pasted from Aversion from the Interromancy discipline, but because the two powers have different names, they stack. | 6 |- ! 3 !! Murderous Hurricane | 18 || Visible Enemy Unit | Roll 1d6 for each model in the target; target suffers 1 mortal wound for each roll of a 6. Not overly reliable, but it's rare that anything scales with unit size in 8e. | 5 |- ! 4 !! Fury of the Wolf Spirits | 0 || Self | Until the next psychic phase, the user gains a bonus 6 melee attacks with S5 AP-3 D1. | 7 |- ! 5 !! Storm Caller | Aura 6 || Psyker and Friendly Space Wolves Units | Until the start of your next Psychic phase, targets gain the benefit of being in cover. | 8 |- ! 6 !! Jaws of the World Wolf | 18 || Enemy Non-Vehicle Unit | Roll 2D6. Target unit suffers a mortal wound for each point rolled above its Move. Random compared to smite, but potentially more powerful, and you can pick a target, including characters trying to hide. Becomes pretty useless above M6. {| class="wikitable" style="margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;" |+ Average mortal wounds inflicted, accounting for casting with 2D6 and no denial, caster has 4+ wounds remaining. |- !

Number !! Name !! Range !! Target !! Description !! Charge |- ! 1 !! Terrifying Visions | 18 || Enemy Unit | Until the start of your next Psychic phase, target unit has -2 Leadership. Combined with the odds of casting this, the expected result is -7/6 to leadership, which will, at best, result in fewer than that probably fleeing from the unit as a result of the power, so this is another power which is inferior to ''Smite'' against single-wound targets - but against multi-wound targets, such as Ogryn, it can do much better, because a fleeing model takes all of its wounds with it; in addition, this bypasses most FNPs (although not the AdMech Dogma one), as well as most repairs (including Necron RP), so it can be situationally useful. | 7 |- ! 2 !! Gaze of the Emperor | 2D6 || Models | Draw a straight line 2d6" long from the psyker's base. For each model the center of the line "passes over", roll a die. On a 4+, that model's unit suffers a mortal wound. "Passes over" is not a game term, but RAI [[skub|appears to be]] all models the line touches except for the caster. | 6 |- ! 3 !! Psychic Barrier | 12 || Friendly Astra Militarum Unit | Until the start of your next Psychic phase, target unit has +1 to saves, ''including invulnerable saves''. Cast this on Bruteshield Bullgryn for a 3+/3++, or Slabshield Bullgryn near Celestine for a 1+/3++. | 6 |- ! 4 !! Nightshroud | 12 || Friendly Astra Militarum Unit | Until the start of your next turn, any enemy unit that targets the chosen unit with a ranged weapon suffers a -1 penalty to hit rolls. Generally speaking, even better than Psychic Barrier, provided you know you don't have to worry about melee. Thanks to the wording, it's also persistent - if a unit targets the Nightshrouded unit with a ranged weapon, it'll keep that penalty until the power expires, so if the targeting unit charges after shooting, it'll retain the penalty (it's not a penalty to BS or to ranged weapon hit rolls, it's a penalty to ''all'' hit rolls triggered by targeting). | 6 |- ! 5 !! Mental Fortitude | 12 || Friendly Astra Militarum Unit | Until the start of your next Psychic Phase, target unit automatically passes Morale Tests. Lifted directly from the Inquisition's Telepathica Discipline, the real claim to fame here is the very low Warp Charge on it, meaning you can generally rely on it to go off outside of Deny the Witch, if you're low on other sources of Morale buffs. | 4 |- ! 6 !! Psychic Maelstrom | 18 || Enemy Unit | Roll a D6. On a 2+, target unit suffers a mortal wound. Unless the wound is negated, you can then roll another die. On a 3+ the target unit suffers another mortal wound. Continue the process, adding 1 to the required die roll each time, until you fail to cause a mortal wound, or the target unit is destroyed. Generally speaking, worthless - even if you couldn't stop the power with FNP, and even if it wasn't 2 WC harder to cast than ''Smite'', it would ''still'' deal fewer mortal wounds. Even ''Gaze of the Emperor'' will usually outperform this. | 7 |} </div> <div style="margin-left: 1em;> ====The Inquisition==== Inquisition Psykers all use the Telethesia Discipline. {| class="wikitable sortable" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;" |+ Telethesia !
