Your <i>psionic energy</i> make little sense as we currently understand physics. Since you're making up the rules, it can do whatever you want. You are in effect asking <i>"When I totally ignore the laws of physics, how can I use the laws of physics to explain ...?"</i>. Another point is you might want to pick different names for what you call <i>tangible</i> and <i>intangible</i>. Gasses aren't intangible in the normal sense of that word, any more than solids or liquids are. If you want to make up an absurd world, that's your business. However, you might care because the more absurd, the more you lose readers. You run the risk of it being insulting to anyone with a high school science background: <i>"I think you're so dumb you'll believe anything."</i>. You'll come across as the proverbial flaky artist who never understood all that science stuff. In the end, flaky artists will be the only readers left. If you're going the really absurd route, just go ahead and call it magic. That way you're not pretending any of it is supposed to make sense.
