Biotic

Biotic abilities are a specialized form of mass effect technology found in the Mass Effect setting.

Source

Biotic abilities appear in humanoids who have been exposed to element zero during gestation. During fetal development, the nervous system interacts with the element zero in the subject's tissues, allowing the subject to activate the eezo with his or her own bioelectricity. In most subjects, devices called "biotic amplifiers" must also be implanted later in life to allow them to create mass effect fields of useful intensity.

Abilities

• The most common manifestation of biotic abilities is telekinesis. The biotic creates a mass effect force field that accelerates a target in a desired direction.
• Some biotics can create gravitational force fields that affect all matter in a targeted area.
• Some biotics can accelerate their own bodies to extraordinary speeds, allowing them to move rapidly around a battlefield and collide with opponents with destructive force.
• Many biotics can create personal defensive shields that deflect projectiles. Some biotics can create shield bubbles with a radius of several meters.

Mass effect fields created by biotics can sometimes interact with explosive effects.
