Concussion blast always [hits] a subject ..."Additionally, this psionic spell is similar to Magic Missile."Energy Missile: Upon manifesting this power, you choose cold, electricity, fire, or sonic. You release a powerful missile of energy of the chosen type ... to the maximum of five targets."Elsewhere there is a 3e psionic Fireball spell, psionic Cone of Cold spell, etcetera.Here is a Psion that uses Charisma."Wilder."Regarding the Psion, the Psion doesnt use spell slots, but the Wizard can use spell points.The 3e Psion used spell points, to appeal to players who wanted a real alternative to classic vancian slots. The 3e Wizard could also use spell points, but the Wizard was more broken when doing so.In my opinion, the 5e slot system is better than both classic vancian and psionic spell points.I glanced at the 5e option to use a spell point system for a Wizard. But these points seem unwieldly - complex and uneven.I decided the 5e spell slots work just as spontaneously but more simply. If for some reason I need to, I can split a high level slot into two lower level slots, or conversely fuse two lower level slots into one high level slot.Regarding material components - the 3e Psion often used crystals, tattoos, and ectoplasm - albeit this flavor appealed less to me. Happily, those who disliked such external flavor could easily ignore such options.And of course, the Psion has metamagic feats."Metapsionic feats."</blockquote>
