What we call "traditional" in fantasy is actually stereotypical. An overused trope. Next, the sci-fi terms work because it is already part of our society that when we hear "psychokinesis" we know what it means and can get a good image in our minds.  If you call it something else entirely, you then have to sit and explain what it really is: "Oh it's just a fancy term for psychokinesis...but they call it that just to be difficult." Finally, no power-spell equivalents? That's impossible. There already is plenty of divine-arcane equivlanets (Dispel Magic, Detect Magic, etc.) so it makes sense for there to be an equivalent in other mediums of supernatural abilities.</blockquote>
