A one-use super-dose of mechanites which trains a specific psychic power. The dose is administered through the orbit of the eye. Once released into the brain, the mechanites form knowledge of a specific psycast ability, transmuting themselves into neural tissue as needed.

The psytrainer is a rare item added by the Royalty DLC that gives psycasts.
Acquisition
Psytrainers can be obtained from trade or quests. It is always a reward for The Deserter quest.
Summary
Psytrainers can be used to learn a specified psycast. After use, the psytrainer is consumed. Each psytrainer is attuned to one specific psycast, which cannot be changed.
In order to actually use the psycast, a pawn must have a psylink high enough to use it. For example, a pawn can only use Neuroquake, a level 6 psycast, at psylink level 6. [No psylink?]
The psytrainer can be used before they have the psylink level to actually use the psycast. In this case, a pawn will not receive the random psylink upon reaching the level; a level 5 pawn with Neuroquake will not receive another psycast upon reaching level 6.
The market value depends on the level of the psycast; higher level psycasts are more valuable. This follows the equation of 100 + 150*Level.
| Level | Market value |
|---|---|
| 1 | 250

| 2 | 400

| 3 | 550
|
| 4 | 700

Analysis
Many psylinks are very powerful tools. Psytrainers ensure that a pawn will have access to any psycast, eventually. Psytrainers are rare and somewhat expensive items.
They can be good for wealth management. Psytrainers are consumed, and having a psycast will not increase colony wealth. Buying psytrainers will lower wealth, and the psycasts themselves can be very useful.
It is recommended to use a psytrainer only when a pawn has enough level to use its psycast. If a psycaster uses a Neuroquake trainer before reaching level 6, they won't receive the free psycast from reaching level 6.
