[QUOTE="Bacris, post: 5442548, member: 42502"] :) Thanks, ProfessorCirno. I won't knock Bruce Cordell, tho - he did a great job on the XPH (even if I think he phoned it in on Complete Psionic - or didn't fight for it). In an interview I did for the Know Direction Pathfinder podcast, I made a reference to a few fantasy books where "magic" actually more closely matched psionics mechanics. The best reference that comes to mind for me is in Raymond Feist's Magician: Master book. Milamber / Pug in the Imperial Stadium for the games, and he just lays down a show of power that nobody else can match. But this show of power? It doesn't use formula, rituals, components, or even words. It's just pure force of will, drawing internal reserves of energy and being a general bad-a. That's not arcane or divine magic. That's psionics. [/QUOTE]
