Each rule change changes magic itself. It creates questions. How do wizards cast spells? Is the wizard, sorcerer, and warlock fireball the same thing? If yes, what does that say about their different mechanics? If not, what aren't there 3 fireballs?If you don't care because "magic is Magic and spells his spells "then it's very simple for you. There's no problem.But if you care about the process from the creation of the effect, l to the learning of the effect, to the activation by the person of the effect, to the affect itself; well making psionics into spells is just added more craziness and confusion to something that's already convoluted with very few specifics, wired details that do matter and gaps that cannot be accounted for.Having both sorcerers and wizards use the same spells makes magic wierd enough. Why do sorcerers get a psionic subclass but not wizards if wizards can literally write down and analyze spells from pieces of pilfered scrolls from long dead mages.</blockquote>
