Tigerius rolls for his psychic powers. On his first roll to get off the psychic power 'Foreboding' he rolls double 6s and therefore has to roll on the Perils of the Warp table. As the rules state, despite having to roll Perils of the Warp, since he did get the dice necessary to get the power off, he still has the psychic power 'Foreboding'. On the Perils of the Warp table he rolls #3. In the roll to determine which psychic power will be lost immediately he loses the psychic power 'Foreboding', the power he just got off. The wording in the rule book page 200 says, "That power is immediately lost and cannot be used by the Psycher for the rest of the battle". In my opinion that means that psychic power "Foreboding' that he just got off that turn cannot in fact be used that turn because he just lost the power immediately. However, my opponent, who is playing Tigerius feels that since he already got the power off that turn he can use the power that turn but cannot use it any time after that. Thoughts please. dsf

The power is lost to the psyker but as stated above the table. The power still manifests.

Also a 3 on perils is suffer a wound and lose d3 warp charges. You are thinking of #2

Work it through exactly as you described it:
1) Roll to harness warp charges
2) Power successfully manifests
3) Roll on perils chart
4) Lose power

You already successfully manifested the power, losing it happens afterwards. As a similar example, a psyker that dies while casting still gets the power off, implying that perils happen separately after casting.

I think the issue is, perils are resolved after the power is manifested, but beforw the power is resolved

What exactly do you mean by that? I mean, you do agree I can cast a witchfire after I'm dead, right? If dying happens before casting, you can't measure the range of the witchfire because the psyker is gone.

No. casting (manifesting) happens before the perils. You suffer the results, maybe dying or losing powers, then the effects of the witchfire would be RESOLVED.

I think we agree, but you just have the terms mixed up

Ah, okay, that wording makes a lot more sense.

Yes, the power still works on that turn, but he can't manifest it again for the rest of the battle.
