= Psi Strength =

'''Psi Strength''' is the [[Psi-Ops]] skill corresponding to '''capacitance''' in the [[Psi-Ops#Ohm's Law of Psi|Ohm's Law of Psi]] framework. It is the baseline capacity to accumulate, hold, and endure psi energy — the "battery size" of a practitioner's psionic system.

Strength is the '''Point''' primitive because it represents the most fundamental property: the bare capacity to exist and persist as a psi-active entity. Before a practitioner can build Pressure, generate Flow, or exercise Focus, they must have sufficient Strength — the baseline existence that supports everything else.

== Electrical Analogy ==

In electrical circuits, capacitance (C) determines how much charge can be stored:

<math>Q = C \times V</math>

In psionic terms: the total Ψ a practitioner can accumulate = Strength × Pressure. A practitioner with high Strength can sustain high Pressure for longer without depletion. Low Strength means rapid fatigue regardless of other skills.

== Physical Experience ==

* Sustained hold — maintaining a technique for extended periods without exhaustion
* Deep reserves — the feeling of having "more in the tank"
* Slow depletion — gradual decline rather than sudden drop-off
* Recovery rate — faster return to baseline after exertion

== Training ==

* '''Endurance meditation''' — progressively longer meditation sessions (building the baseline)
* '''Long holds''' — sustain a specific Ψ state for increasing duration
* '''Progressive overload''' — gradually increase the intensity/duration of all exercises
* '''Recovery training''' — practice rapid recharge between efforts

== In-Game Mechanic ==

Psi Strength determines:
* Maximum psi energy pool (total Ψ available)
* Stamina and endurance during extended psi operations
* Recovery rate between uses
* Resistance to psi fatigue and burnout

== See Also ==

* [[Psi-Ops]] — the operational framework
* [[Psi Pressure]] — voltage (Strength determines how long Pressure can be sustained)
* [[Psi Power]] — output (Strength determines how many Power bursts are available)
