The theme of dark sun is not the dead magic drained world, that is the setting ala where it takes place. the theme is the survival of the inhabitants of the world. Where magic users are killed instantly if discovered. Where the existence of the  regular people is a struggle and the "will" to survive is needed. Psionics is the evolutionary direction the people and creatures of the world went, it is how they evolved to survive the planet. it is very much a part of the existence of all the creatures. psionics is part of the story and you can have a dead world with struggle but without psionics as the evolutionary path it isn't dark sun.</blockquote>
