I would have said so if I knew exactly what you thought, unfortunately MY telepathic abilities haven't kicked in yet. My bad.Agreed. Which was my point about the phrasing you gave. All of those classes use divine magic. Just as psionic classes use psionic magic. However the definition you gave would lump each of those classes in with Arcane just as surely as a wizard.Also, ALL magic comes from a source. Where or what that source is seems to be completely arbitrary. Druids get magic from nature, but are divine. Clerics get magic from their god, or the cosmos (domain cleric). Cultists from their fiend of choice. Wizards from the ether/magical nodes/magical sigils. Warlocks from pacts. Sorcerers from their own blood. Psions from their minds. All have a source.I think this is the problem exactly. As far as I understand it there is three main types of magic. Actually I'm fairly sure there are others but for now let's assume there is only three.Divine is magic from a divine source, be that nature or gods or whatever. Arcane is "magic that is not divine." Psionic (as far as I understand the original intent) is "magic that is NOT divine NOR arcane." If your set is "non-divine" then we're going to have a problem.Imagine my surprise that You lack any problem with that. Imagine it.Now, imagine how much problem Others will have with that. Perhaps then you'll see the problem. Others are the ones with the objection, obviously not you.</blockquote>
