This is known as psionics-magic transparency.""For the purpose of psionics-magic transparency, clairsentience powers are equivalent to powers of the divination school (thus, creatures immune to divination spells are also immune to clairsentience powers)."And so on.Both 3e and 4e emphasize how psionics is a different type of magic, but magic all the same, or virtually the same.</blockquote>
