At the same time, I am fine with spells giving a nod to 3e. Spells are self contained, and not actually baked into the Psion class features.For the "ectoplasm", I am interpreting it as an "unfinished formation of a new reality". With the rationale in the preceeding post that combines both 3e Telepath and 3e Shaper into the UA Telepath. The sense is: the mind existentially experiences reality; phantasm only exists subjectively in the mind; illusion blurs subjective perception and objective reality; illusions become force constructs with psychological attunement; the force of an illusion is often only strong enough to manipulate light and sound vibrations, but some illusion effects have strong force to propel mass and deal Weapon damage; finally, "ectoplasm" is glimpses is into new potential realities that havent yet taken root in the shared objective reality, and are an aspect of Illusion. Making an Ectoplasm cantrip do Tanglefoot effect, sounds fine.</blockquote>
