Two different things. The Total Perspective Map was shown in a scene from the 1983 British musical sketch comedy film Monty Python's The Meaning of Life. The map appeared in the skit, 'Live Organ Transplants'. :p From Wikipedia: In "Live Organ Transplants", two paramedics visit an organ donor...

It sounds like you made a successful WIS save against the effects of the Total Perspective Map (Monty Python). ;) For those of you who have not watched Monty Python's Flying Circus, the Total Perspective Map is a legendary map capable of making anyone who looked at it to feel very small and very...

If not PF1's Kineticist, then there is the Elementalist class from Purple Martin Games for Level Up. A 5e version of the Kineticist class.

I wonder if PF1's Kineticist would work for Dark Sun.

Probably not, but what about an acoustical one?

The Forgotten Realms Wiki mentions under its' entry for the Weave that many other worlds and planes have Weaves of magic. They aren't the same as the Weave of Toril and Realmspace. But they do exist. https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Weave#The_Weave_Across_Reality The Weave in 5e now...

Yeah, psychic magic is too eco-friendly. ;)

Paizo built PF1 off of 3.5e's chassis and has been likened by some as 3.75e D&D. PF2 otoh is a different story and has become its' own RPG.

Did Paizo receive any blowback when they made psionics into another form of magic for Pathfinder? curious

Or the glowing irises. ;)

Which is probably why Paizo decided to make psionics into just another kind of magic in Pathfinder. PF1-Psychic Magic, PF2- Occult Magic. If psionics was undetectable to those who weren't psionic, a Psion would go into every encounter with an Advantage.

I would have it where any spell with the mind-affecting descriptor can prevent a psychic spell from being cast.

If psionics does make a return to 5e, I hope some of the psionic species are also brought back.

You're right in a way. But I did mention earlier in this thread that psychics in PF1 replaced the somatic and verbal spell components with Thought and Emotion spell components. PF1 also remade psionics into another form of magic.

When it comes to Psychic Magic and expensive material components, a psychic spellcaster can use any item that has both significant meaning and value to them. The value of the item has to be greater than or equal to the spell's component cost. If a psychic spellcaster wanted to cast a Raise Dead...

I think the most noticeable difference would be how a spell is depicted when it's cast during a fight. The Fireball spell has all three spell components (somatic, verbal and material). For a Wizard to cast it, they need to make a particular gesture with one hand while holding a piece of bat...

They certainly ought to. In addition to Thought and Emotion spell components, PF1 also has its' share of Psychic character classes. The Kineticist (think of the Benders from Avatar: The Last Airbender and the Legend of Korra) who can psychokinetically manipulate an element or elements. Level...

Because of PF1's Psychic Magic, I really can't imagine a Psion not requiring any components for their spells. While they can cast spells that don't require words, physical gestures and items that cost a certain amount of gold pieces, they still need to put some thought (aka imagination) into how...

The Jedi with their monastic nature are more like psychokinetic warrior monks. Way of the Jedi Monk. Way of the Living Force Way of the Unifying Force.

Just as technology can become advanced enough to be indistinguishable from magic, magic can reach a point where it's indistinguishable from psionics. And vice versa. A sorcerer with Silent Spell, Eschew Materials and Still Spell could pass themselves off as a psion. A psion otoh will make you...
