We know that the Primarchs were probably all or mostly psykers of some degree. We also know, however, that most of them didn't exhibit significant powers compared to most major canon psykers. Nor do most of them seem to have received training for these inherent powers, which seems odd if they're intended to be the best possible soldiers.
Given that psychic powers are heavily tied to the Warp and thus even the Chaos Gods, one might imagine that the Emperor would see being a powerful psyker as a risk, despite himself fitting that description. Is there any evidence in the books or codices that the Emperor intentionally avoided helping his children reach their full potential?
