If you can do Psychokinesis or Telepathy (or Clairvoyance/Precog) with it, it is "psi".

1. Start off by feeling it. Eventually you can have third parties confirm it, or see it.
2. You should be able to feel something. If you don't, keep practicing, and try different methods.
3. Check under "The Kinesis" section in the articles, specifically the ones talking about "Telekinesis".
4. Um no .

Usually it's meant as a mental command to the psi. Visualization can work. I bet you could even say it verbally, and it would have an effect. So... yeah try all those things you said, and see how it goes .

1) Coldness is possible. That's a start - keep at it.

2) For now, I would base it on what you feel. Eventually, when you feel and think it's strong enough, drop by the chat and maybe someone else can try to confirm it for you. Or find an online friend to play "Pass the Construct" and see how well you do.

You shouldn't be worried unless you constantly piss off people with more skill than you. If you don't do anything out of the ordinary, chances are you won't just randomally be attacked. There is no "best" shield, if there was everyone would just use that. If I were you, I wouldn't worry about being attacked, and only work on shielding as a way to control perceptive abilities - for example, you need to know how to shield if you want to control empathy. Or telepathy. And no, I don't think you started too soon, 13 seems to be a popular age .

"Manipulating" psi-stuff and "Sensing" psi-stuff are two separate skills, sort of like the difference between being able to play the piano and being able to sing a line of music after hearing it once.

Overcoming this is largely a matter practicing perception exercises: scanning constructs, and so on.

We get this question rather frequently, and there is very little variation in the wording.

First, re-read the instructions for making a psiball. In fact, read several different sets of instructions for making a psiball. The little spheroids have become very popular over the past several years, and you'll find many (slight) variations on the general theme.

Then, once you've read them. See if you understand them. Try paraphrasing the directions.

Third, try it again.

On the other hand, _making_ a construct and _perceiving_ a construct are two separate abilities. Have you checked to see if anyone _else_ perceived your results or lack thereof?

It is technically _possible_, but why would you want to? It is both less effort, and less difficult, to simply make constructs on an as-needed basis.

Whether it is for self-gain or not has no bearing on the answer. "Making" someone pay attention to you, and "making" someone pay less attention to you, are both applications of telepathy. The least invasive method is to project either "over here! Hey, I'm here" impressions or "no-one here but us chickens; look anywhere but here" impressions, either actively or from a shield-form.
