Beckon
Beckon is a level 3 psycast that causes the target to walk towards the caster until either damaged or the duration expires.
Acquisition
There are two ways to acquire Beckon:
- A randomly selected level 3 psycast is granted to the psycaster when they gain psylink level 3. Beckon is one of the options that may be selected. Note that this occurs regardless of how the psylink level is gained.
- Beckon can also be acquired from a psytrainer naming it. See the psytrainer page for further details.

Analysis
 | This section is suggested to be rewritten. Reason: 1) Currently just a Copy-paste of minor tactics previously on Psycasts - needs verification, rewriting, formatting, and expansion 2) using on friendlies? No goodwill penalty?. You can help the RimWorld Wiki by improving it. |
- Can force enemies into melee range for engagement, or simply pull them out of cover into the open so your ranged attackers can destroy them.
- Can delay a particularly dangerous enemy, such as a doomsday rocket launcher user, from firing until a countermeasure can be deployed (e.g. melee closing, ranged move into position, your own weapon fires, a skipshield can be placed etc.)
- Great for peeling enemy melee off a vulnerable friendly.
- Can also be useful to pull a ranged enemy out of an ancient danger without using the more expensive skip psycast.
