Examples: dispel magic/psionics, globe of invulnerability.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Abilities that let you manipulate/use psionics or magic are usually specific to that type. Examples: Use magic/psionic device, item creation feats.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Abilities that provide information about magic or psionics tend to only give very basic information about the other type, unless specifically geared toward giving more information. Example: detect magic will tell you that there's a psionic effect on an item, but it won't tell you the discipline. One exception is identify (both psionic and magic) - it works equally well regardless of whether the item identified is magic or psionic. There are versions of powers/spells that are designed to provide more information, these tend to be one or two levels higher than the base power (e.g. detect psionics as a spell would be 2nd level)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Things that are based on effects rather than the force of magic/psionics itself work normally. Example: A resist energy (fire) works equally well regardless of whether you're hit by a fireball or an energy cone (fire). [*]The lore concerning magic and psionics are very different. Thus, Psicraft and Spellcraft remain different skills, as do Knowledge (Psionics) and Knowledge (Arcana). Use Psionic Device is also a different skill than Use Magic Device, as explained above.</li> </ul></blockquote>
