As interesting as that might be, this is a strictly "hard sci-fi" kind of setting.

...But these are all at least theoretically possible, whereas claims of ESP are unsubstantiated and generally considered a hoax.

I understand. I only mentioned it because the setting is to be futuristic, if only slightly, and it might take the place of magic. You're of course right about restoration and illusion.

Short of a Babylon 5 style techno-mage skill, I don't really have much to suggest. Your skill set seems quite comprehensive already -- unless a specific sniping skill, as distinct from the heavy weaponry that you mentioned, might help i.e. something like marksman -- or explosives to stand in for destruction.

Do you plan to include narcotics? I suppose you could incorporate that into your medical category.

EDIT: What about engineering? Repairing items, vehicles and structures (such as that elevator you mentioned) should merit a separate skill category.
