| Very few effective shielding materials against psi have been discovered outside of extremely expensive directed energy enclosures, but nullglass is one of the most reliable. It is a smooth, brittle, translucent red-purple material that is opaque to the majority of analytical techniques known to human science, and its means of manufacture is a closely guarded industrial secret. Currently only a handful of individuals are able to produce the substance, and generally only in low quantities. Its effect on psi-users is immediate and drastic: an operant in physical contact with nullglass will find their active effects slipping away and be rendered unable to manifest more. | Very few effective shielding materials against psi have been discovered outside of extremely expensive directed energy enclosures, but nullglass is one of the most reliable.

| - | * Bright Continua: the neighboring slices of the multiverse theorized to be the medium by which psi effects are achieved. Popularized as an ‘astral plane’ in operant media. | + | |
| - | * Dark Continua: realms beyond the Bright Continua; a sort of slur used to cover illegal/shady/immoral uses of psi. | + | |
| - | * The Real: our continuum; realspace. | + | |
| - | * Faculty: a discrete ‘school’ of psi power. | + | |
| - | * Operant: a functional psi-user with one or more developed psi faculties. | + | |
| - | * Blank: not latent or operant; baseline human, unaltered by the Signal. | + | |
| - | * Latent: not yet operant, but potentially capable of developing operant faculties. | + | |
| - | * Backblast: an effect by which over-extending psi power results in an energetic bleed from the Bright Continua and corresponding flash burns/trauma inside the operant’s brain. | + | |
| - | * Burnout: someone who has suffered permanent brain damage from overuse of psi. | + | |
| - | * Paramount: an informal designation for someone whose operant faculties exceed ‘normal’ maximums, usually from illegal study and modification of the Signal or invasive implants like CE rigs. | + | |
