[Question] Combat Efficient Psykers?

In the Inheritance Cycle universe, advanced librarians are inducted into methods of crazy efficient murder. Spells for pinching off a specific artery, severing certain nerves, using less psychic energy than wiggling their finger, and allowing them to slaughter entire armies not under the aegis of an enemy psyker.

Is there any such lore in 30-40k of similar techniques? We can see plenty events of a alpha psykers lifting a hive spire, or flying with angel wings. But severing the spinal chords of an enemy platoon?

  • Sadly, a jury of his peers will be people who make just enough that they are suddenly concerned about their tax return privacy despite being a W2 earner.

    The plastic-eating bacteria that could change the world
  • Breaking down plastic is already super super unappealing to any life form. The biggest reasons it's so useful to us is because it's basically super tightly woven strands which the engineered bacteria have to be forced to break apart, when the planet is filled with more readily available food like sugar molecules. The plastic eating bacteria they discover in the "wild" basically were isolated and surrounded only with plastic, and so had literally no other choice.

    Releasing this bacteria into the wild won't be an option (but given human nature it will remain an option), their use would likely be in closed facilities with big vats to break down plastic (operated by the lowest paid employees who can't wait to skip the decontamination hallway because the football game is tonight).

  • Correct. The president's specialty was biology, and the authors of the report are in the internet observatory department.

  • A co-worker went on a rant about how nobody talks about how it's just heritage and the war wasn't just about slavery. Also complaining that the customers complained about the confederate flag on his pickup so he had to take it down to avoid drama.
