While they might be the same thing, there are two different "feels" or "genres" to both: one is oriental, the other is sci-fi.
So, shoe-horning both into the same book, or under the same power source, is probably going to irritate both camps. There is some overlap, but about as much overlap as "I want divine magic without shooting fireballs" "I want arcane magic without healing". |
This is about as clear and sensible an argument as I have found for keeping wuxia and psychics separate.

What exactly would a Friar Tuck monk bring to a party, besides cowering in a corner when the violence starts? Really, though, I'm having trouble imagining the archetype in an adventuring context.
