Kind of like how a bazooka and a sniper rifle can both kill someone, but they're very different in application. So maybe magical telekinesis offers a higher weight limit, whereas psionic telekinesis offers very fine "motor control" (being able to telekinetically manipulate the tumblers inside a lock). A psychic "fireball" (pyrokinesis) might be weaker or smaller but could allow you very fine control over what it targeted.Another option would be simply to not have spells than duplicate psychic effects, but that ship has sailed (barring a new edition).</blockquote>
