'''Psi Pressure''' is the [[Psi-Ops]] skill corresponding to '''voltage''' in the [[Psi-Ops#Ohm's Law of Psi|Ohm's Law of Psi]] framework. It is the potential difference that drives psi energy from regions of high [[Psi Energy Density Scalar Field|Ψ(x,t)]] to regions of low Ψ — the "charge" that a practitioner builds up before releasing it as [[Psi Flow|Flow]].

Pressure is the '''Angle''' primitive because it measures intensity — the magnitude of the potential difference. Two Lines (connections) meeting at a Point (practitioner) create an Angle — the greater the Angle, the greater the Pressure.

== Electrical Analogy ==

In electrical circuits, voltage (V) drives current through resistance:

<math>P_\psi = F_\psi \times R_\psi</math>

High Pressure without Flow = charged but not releasing (accumulation phase). High Pressure with low Focus = uncontrolled energy discharge. The practitioner's art is balancing Pressure with Focus to produce controlled Power.

== Physical Experience ==

* Building heat between palms
* Sensation of "charging up" before a technique
* Pressure in the head, chest, or solar plexus during accumulation
* The "ready to burst" feeling before energy release

== Training ==

* '''Breath of fire''' (rapid diaphragmatic breathing) — rapidly increases local Ψ
* '''Energy accumulation holds''' — build Pressure and sustain it without releasing
* '''Pressure differential drills''' — create deliberate high-Ψ / low-Ψ contrast
* '''Progressive overload''' — gradually increase the peak Pressure sustained

== In-Game Mechanic ==

Psi Pressure determines:
* Maximum damage/intensity of psionic attacks
* Depth of healing energy delivered
* Range of remote projection (higher Pressure → further reach)
* Activation threshold for high-level abilities

== See Also ==

* [[Psi-Ops]] — the operational framework
* [[Psi Flow]] — current (driven by Pressure)
* [[Psi Focus]] — resistance (contains Pressure)
* [[Psi]] — the variable Ψ that Pressure measures
