It may be that all characters have within them the potential for harnessing the energy of the mind, but only those who succeed in tapping into that potential can become psionic characters. A psionic character knows the mental pathways that lead to amazing edifices of thought and energy. Knowing the path, the psionic character walks it. Like a flare being thrown off a star, a power is manifested from a psionic character’s energy of consciousness."See the difference? this one is inspirational, psionics are a hidden potential, a miracle, a wonderful thing. Compare with the intro from the pdf, where psionics is basically a scar, a sign of being tainted and defiled by an unspeakable horror. In short play-a-wizard-or-you-are-a-damaged-weirdo all over again. The names aren't that important -except when they are-, as long as everything else remains the same or as close as possible, the lore, the aesthetics, and the gameplay -this is where mechanics come at, they don't have to fit down to every single plus 1, but they should feel the same in play-. Change too much and you no longer have the same thing anymore. Imagine the designers wanted to change the sorcerer, let's change the lore, they are soulless conducts for magic, oh and they now fight draining their enemies dry of hp to fuel their magic, and they have now to prepare spells by tattooing complex geometrical shapes on their bodies, and they have a different name now, are they sorcerers anymore?</blockquote>
