[QUOTE="Corinnguard, post: 9283524, member: 7033886"] In Pathfinder 1st edition, psionics was rebranded as another form of magic called Psychic Magic. This form of magic had two spell components that were unique to it, Thought and Emotion. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.d20pfsrd.com/alternative-rule-systems/occult-adventures/psychic-magic/[/URL] [I]Wizards study ancient tomes to unlock arcane secrets of the universe, and [URL='https://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/core-classes/cleric']clerics[/URL] pray to distant deities to grant them divine power. Yet there is a third, more esoteric kind of magic, connected to every creature’s composite being, from the conscious mind to the deepest desire, from the life force to the spirit, from the very soul to the cosmic self. This third type of magic is psychic magic. A psychic spell largely functions like any other spell. It’s another type of magic, similar to arcane or divine magic—in fact, those who use psychic magic are easily mistaken for practitioners of arcane and divine traditions. Metamagic feats and any other rules that alter or trigger from spells can usually be used with psychic spells (though see the Components section below for a few exceptions).
