The strength of a Psion's attack depends on the type of Psion. An ordinary Psion will only be able to attack at point blank range, a Psion Operant will be able to launch a short-range attack, and a Psion Flayer will be able to send a psychic attack from quite a long distance. These attacks deal [[Arc]] (or electrical) damage, signifying their power over mind and (potentially) machine. Certain Psions are known to channel [[Void]] and [[Solar]] power, though this is restricted to Flayers observed in the [[Prison of Elders]]. Psions become much more dangerous during [[Nightfall]] Strikes, as they acquire a Void shield. | The strength of a Psion's attack depends on the type of Psion.
