Jedi, "next step of evolution", enlightenment, purity of thought, mind over matter, crystals, that kind of stuff. Back when I was running Dark Sun, psionics was the "pure" magic type: not dependent on external power sources (drawing from either the land or from the elemental planes), but only on the strength of the wielder's mind. They're the kind of power that requires understanding more than any other, which is why the power names lean toward the scientific – the cleric can just cure wounds, while the psion manifests cell adjustment, actually getting cells to multiply and fix themselves.The aberrant stuff is cool as a corruption of all that – they take something pure and spread their wrongness all over it. But that's not where it necessarily originates.</blockquote>
