This is the time to point out pain points, imbalances, and specific constructive improvements.This version of the Psion is manifesting 'spells'. So we need to think about what this means flavorwise and balancewise.When the Psion class comes out, it needs to explain how to recognize when one is manifesting. A future book can clarify how to recognize spells using the Passive Investigation-Insight.That is a relevant passage you cite from the 2024 Players Handbook.Even so, it basically says, "DM decides" what is obvious or subtle.Probably manifesting can be subtle (if the caster actively trying to conceal it). So having rules that refer to Passive Investigation-Insight can help clarify.For what it is worth, in games I DM, someone telepathically reading thoughts − that is direct mind-to-mind link, like physically hugging or wrestling. Normally that is obvious. If the caster is trying to 'mentally pickpocket' unnoticed by a target, then that is a kind of skill contest.</blockquote>
