[QUOTE="Cheesepie, post: 5077071, member: 66809"] I must admit, I also coughed up my coffee all over my keyboard when I saw *shudder* "psionic magic" but now that I've thought about it for a while, it seems perfectly okay to me! As far as this edition of D&D is concerned, magic is pretty much defined as "supernatural effects." No matter how exactly you produce said supernatural effect, you're practicing magic. The differentiation between (non-martial) power sources is where the power to perform the magical effect is drawn from, and how said power is tapped and melded into the desired effect. While wizards need to perform elaborate rituals using complicated formulas to draw energy out of reality, invokers need to channel the divine energies of their deity through their body, druids need to beckon the primal spirits to grant mastery of nature upon them, and assassins need to more or less sell a part of their soul to draw power from the Shadowfell, psions produce magic purely by their extraordinary force of will and discipline. Now we just need to work on a solution for those incredibly goofy-looking mid-head halos... *sigh* [/QUOTE]
