EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

After extensive observation of Blood Wolves psychic training procedures, this assessment concludes their methods, while unorthodox, demonstrate remarkable effectiveness in maintaining psychic stability and resistance to corruption. Of particular note is their integration of null field exposure in controlled doses throughout the training process.

PRIMARY OBSERVATIONS

Training Structure

• Initial screening conducted under full null field to establish baseline resistance
• Progressive exposure to psychic phenomena under graduated null dampening
• War beast integration provides additional layer of corruption detection
• Blood bond rituals conducted under alternating null/active periods
• Heavy emphasis on control over raw power

Stability Protocols

• Immediate termination at first signs of instability
• Regular exposure to null fields maintains humility
• Constant chaplain oversight during all training phases
• War beasts provide continuous emotional monitoring
• Progressive challenge system prevents overconfidence

Notable Innovations

1. Use of null field exposure to "stress test" psychic control
2. Integration of blood bonds to anchor psychic stability
3. War beast emotional monitoring during training
4. Chaplain-led meditation under partial null fields
5. Progressive power development under controlled conditions

CONCERNING ELEMENTS

Blood Rituals

While initially alarming, extensive testing under null fields confirms:

• No warp resonance during ceremonies
• No corruption signatures in blood bonds
• Stabilizing effect on psychic manifestation
• Physical rather than warp-based effects

Training Casualties

Higher than standard among psychic neophytes:

• 47% failure rate in initial screening
• 28% require termination during early training
• 15% self-report instability
• 10% fail final trials These rates, while concerning, demonstrate appropriate caution

RECOMMENDATIONS

Continue current protocols with following modifications:

• Increase null field exposure during initial screening
• Expand war beast integration in early training
• Additional observation during blood bond formation
• Enhanced documentation of termination cases

Consider implementing:

• Standardized null field exposure schedules
• Expanded Silent Sister presence during critical training phases
• Joint training exercises with null squads
• Additional stress testing protocols

CONCLUSION

The Blood Wolves' approach to psychic training, while divergent from standard practices, demonstrates remarkable effectiveness. Their high casualty rates reflect appropriate caution rather than recklessness. Continued observation recommended, but current protocols appear sufficient for maintaining stability.
