The disciplined practice of developing psionic abilities as if they were any other technical skill, with training regimens, safety protocols, and measurable outcomes. Psionic engineers don't just hope to move objects with their minds; they create practice schedules, track their progress in spreadsheets, and attend workshops on "advanced telekinetic applications." The field requires immense patience, as measurable results are elusive, and most practitioners spend years achieving nothing that couldn't be explained by drafts, static electricity, or wishful thinking.
*Example: "His psionic engineering practice involved daily 20-minute sessions trying to influence a random number generator with his mind. After a year, his numbers were statistically indistinguishable from chance, but he'd developed excellent meditation skills and could sit in perfect stillness for extended periods. He called this 'non-dual psionics' and considered it a success."*
