damn you...

and how would it even take a custom tech? you can lift a rock in the air, charge it and blow it to bits, thus deconstructing it into smaller pebbles while only using the bare bone basics of psychokinesis. that'd be similar to needing a custom technique to read ki with ki sense.

You are talking the difference between breaking something down, and just breaking it.

We are saying that Psycho can do like Gambit and charge something up until it goes boom, but it can't - with precision - disintegrate something like a rock to turn it into a cloud of moving sand that's all evenly one grain per spec. The closest Pyro would get there would be a wave of different sized rock chunks, you simply wouldn't have the detailed control necessary to do the job you are trying to do. Through extension of logic, yeah, I'm sure that after enough effort and enough time, you could focus on separating each single bit more and more to create your effect, but its so inefficient to do so through Psycho's methods that the guy that just killed you would be on a boat somewhere weeks later with T-Pain.
