The Fireball spell has all three spell components (somatic, verbal and material). For a Wizard to cast it, they need to make a particular gesture with one hand while holding a piece of bat guano in the other and saying some esoteric words. Then they throw the bat guano at some opponent, and it bursts into flame in mid-flight. If a Psion was to cast the same spell, they probably would have this intense look on their face (anger, rage, etc.) and the bat guano would just leap out of their hand on its' own towards some opponent and then burst into flame. Or the Psion would let the bat guano hover in midair before them as it ignited and then flew towards its' opponent. It all depends on how thematic (and scary) you want the act of spellcasting to look. The spell in either case would function the same mechanically and have the same effect (an opponent cooked medium rare).</blockquote>
