Once as another name for monks, and as a dragonlance divine caster, a very specific divine caster that doesn't really fit under psionics. And the new flavor steps pretty close to the monk. Well, I come from the post-pokemon generation. To me psychics is exactly mind reading, telepathy, levitation and stuff. What you describe is more of a phony medium/fortuneteller -and I prefer witch for the nonphonies, psychic is almost despective in that context.And well, for me wizards are those superpowered bookworms  that carry heavy spellbooks and suck  at being mundane, clerics don't fit that bill. (and wizards aren't the generic spellcaster, never were never will)Well, my point isn't that, it was that from edition to edition most of it was stable, from 1e to 2e only the name changed and it gained a class group (wizard). But nothing else between both, it was a small change. In the transition to 3e wizard went from class group to the class itself, but the schools -and forbidden schools- remained -save a few name changes-, but it played the same and the aesthetics were the same. The wizard evolved organically, and only changed a few things at the time. This mystic-psion thing is not the same, it is change everything at once, name, flavor, aesthetics and gameplay, all at once.</blockquote>
