It is outlawed in Amn (one big 'witch hunter' resides there), but more accepted in the south (calimshan filled with it's flying carpets and genies and any other method of magic) where if the price is right you are treated well. elves don't like it, as more than anything else, it shows the inherent value of evolution (remember, elves don't have canine teeth, but humans do), and of the latent potential humans have. (though psionics isn't just for humans... but having the largest brains of the standard races they have the largest pineal glands / for harnessing their jyana-yogic charkra, etc) likewise the secret / underground talare council is trying hard to acclimate to their surroundings, fighting mind flayers and of course, trying to be diplomatic with the magic users. this is Their world, not the world of the refugee psionics users.some high level psions live in other parts of abir-toril though. (like more eastern climes) also there are some psi-like people in the jungles who give new light to the aztec inspired maztican jaguar warriors....enjoy.ps. my cat's breath smells like catfood.</blockquote>
