[QUOTE="Dark Psion, post: 1017634, member: 959"] I use a four power set up, Arcane opposes Nature and Divine opposes Psionics. Nature and Arcane draw on the same sources; Elemental energies, Ley lines, Mystic Weaves....call it what you will. The key difference is that Natural casters are working with Nature and Arcane casters are controlling it Arcane casters force the energies to take the shape they will it to be, while natural casters are becoming part of nature, taking it's shapes upon themselves Divine and Psionic are also working with the same type of energy, but Divine casters are drawing from beyond themselves and Psionic manifesters are drawing from within themselves, both tapping into the infinite power of the soul. Many churches in my campaign consider Psionics "stealing from the gods what is rightfully theirs" and view psions as "trying to be gods". As you might guess, Psions are not very religious people and tend to avoid churches, especially those that have pyres at the ready. [/QUOTE]
