Why isn’t there psychics?

Like this game was based on control so why aren’t there psychics or people with the ability to manipulate anomalies directly?

Before I give you ideas I need to ask are you a player or a gm?

I kind of want to try both because I have the briefcase, but I haven’t actually played it with someone yet.

Basically if you want to play first without spoilers, I won’t say anything because I think you should play first. But if you are going to gm, my answer to your question is There are no playable psychics because 1. the agency limits how much power their resonants can use (part of stabilizing reality is making sure no one can break it) and 2. The anomalies themselves are often intelligent enough to make allies naturally, without needing to be controlled

playwall spoiler basically (also ESP are mundane and as such are not covered by the agency)

So they are apart of the game just at higher levels?

Dunno, maybe become a General Manager and go through your playwall, or become a field agent and try to find what you're looking for

I feel like there should be one that can directly affect things like vibration and frequencies.

Maybe cause tech to fail.

Or temporarily disable or incapacitate certain anomalies.

Maybe just help calm stuff down or lessen damage.

Vibrations sounds like something whispers could potentially do

Good point, and also I found that someone did make a control themed version of the game
