The '''Vistrum''' is a semi-psionic, emotion-sensitive field that exists exclusively among the [[Valorik (Species Family)|Valorik]] species—most notably the [[Valorèin]], but also detectable by [[Zekarin]] and other [[Valorik (Species Family)|Valorik Species]], except [[Shemèin]]. While not a divine gift nor tethered to [[Universal Law]], it is a biologically inherited trait that functions like a resonant empathic link between individuals. Its strength fluctuates with proximity and emotional intimacy, allowing individuals to faintly feel the sensations, sentiments, and psychic disturbances of others in their vicinity.

The [[Shemèin]], though genetically related to other [[Valorik (Species Family)|Valorik]] forms, are completely deaf to the Vistrum and all other psionic fields, rendering them a spiritual anomaly and often a source of tragic alienation in [[Valorik (Species Family)|Valorik]] culture.
