The Psychic Arrow discipline is a ranged discipline which uses psychic power to focus their shots. Centuries ago, a clan of Silver Elves deep in the astral plane developed the Psychic Arrow discipline to combat the Githyanki, in the form of Ki Archers. Now, with the migration of the Silver Elves to the material, it has been adopted by many others across the planes. It is often seen in the hands of elves, who combine it with the talents of their Arcane Archers to great effect. Ki Archers are the most notable practitioners of the discipline, as they follow the original tradition developed by the Silver Elves. Many Soulbows also take up the mantle of the Psychic Arrow disciple.
