My pathetic Webster's Ninth New Collegiate says a bit about that New Age
connotation of telluric mentioned by Eric:
3. being or relating to a usu. natural electric current flowing
near the earth's surface.
Given the importance of various earthly currents in M&D I'd guess P.
intends somethiong to do with this meaning.
