The Weave acts as an intermediary and translates spells back into true naming for Reality to understand it.That's why wizards use verbal and somatic components. It's really speaking True Speech.with a horrible accent and terrible sign language.Bards sing and get hints into the words of creation of the language of reality.And deities give clerics words and gestures directly from the parts of the language that is in their portfolios.Psionics, if not magic, is then alien to reality. It is some weird thing outside of normal space and breaks the rules of how things are done. Psionics therefore has no connection to the Weave directly and thus comes from someplace else. The Far Realm would be an obvious or easy choice as it is alien to reality.</blockquote>
