Psychic mutations grow an innate channel to the Winds into the body itself --
no codex, no patron, no taught discipline. The organism simply reaches the
miasma the way a different organism reaches for a claw. Because they tap the
Winds, these mutations follow the same rules as any Protocol: the local color
levels gate them, and they fall silent in a miasma-dead zone (see
The Winds of
Change). Unlike learned channeling, though, the capability is part of you --
it cannot be unlearned, only suppressed by killing the Wind around you.
Several entries grant a Trick or a Protocol "once per long rest without a Wind
slot." That means you can run it for free that often, drawing on the ambient Wind
alone; beyond that, you run it by spending Wind slots as normal, if you have
them. The color requirement still applies every time.
Innate channel

Notes
Wind Power
Choose a color. You learn two Tricks and one Tier 1 Protocol of that color. You can run the Protocol once per long rest without spending a Wind slot; otherwise you run it with Wind slots if you have them.
Repeatable (different color each time)
Slow Channel
You can run certain Protocols slowly -- taking several minutes instead of an action -- without spending a Wind slot, drawing on the ambient Wind alone.

Notes
Far Channel
Your damaging Protocols double their range and ignore cover. You also learn one attack Trick of a color you can channel.
--
Steady Channel
You have advantage on checks to keep a Protocol running when you take damage. You can run a Protocol as an opportunity reaction in place of a strike, and occupied limbs never stop you from channeling.

Spectrum Affinity
Choose a color. Your Protocols of that color ignore resistance, and you treat any 1 rolled on their damage dice as a 2.
