[QUOTE="LuisCarlos17f, post: 9608134, member: 6802378"] We are too used to a pool of power points instead spell slots. I don't advice this to be changed. The psionic is more about the "within spark". If magic is like using a mobile to ask a pizza and psionic would be like yourself cooking that pizza. Psionic doens't need magic components (verbal, somatic or material) but it shows displays (auditory, material, olfatory, mental or visual). Displays can be a very important factor when the psionic manifester doesn't want to be detected or discovered during infiltration operations.
