Changes

When '''Psychic Phenomena''' and more deadly '''Perils of the Warp''' have a chance of occurring whenever a [[Psyker]] uses one of their [[Psychic Powers]].{{Fn|4}} When a psyker uses one of their powers]], they invariably draw from the essense of the [[Warp]], to manifest fantastic abilities that would be otherwise impossible to perform. However, using psychic powers sometimes yields unexpected and unpleasant results, because the energies of the Warp are unpredictable, and the Warp is filled with daemons who are drawn to psykers. The Empyrean can bleed into reality when a psyker draws into the warp for power, the deeper they draw the higher the risk of unbidden phenomena occurring.
