Xeraphin

Psychic and Mental Dominance

Description

An extinct race of beings whose mental power surpassed conventional reality. Their residual consciousness endures as a latent psychic force, capable of shaping physical environments through sheer mental might. The Doctor identifies their dying will as the animating principle behind the Master’s psychic prison, transforming sacred relics into a weaponized apparatus. Though none remain alive, their latent presence is awakened through cellular fusion, binding victims within a suffocating mental enclosure. Their artifacts, once ceremonial, now serve as conduits for a forgotten civilization’s dormant menace.
