The Wish spell is suitable as a capstone at Psion level 20, casting Wish once innately until the end of the next Long Rest. In addition, any Psion can prepare it for their slot 9.Wish is the most powerful spell in existence, in the entire game of D&D. But it has no Costly Material component. There is only a Verbal component to express ones mindful intention in an improvisational manner. The Costly Material component serves no game balance function. The imposition of Material components where they dont belong violates the central flavor of the power of the mind, and is a pain point that makes the game of D&D less enjoyable.TELEPATH FLAVORPowerword Heal, [Powerword Kill], Psychic Scream, Weird.(Shaper)[True Polymorph]Not counting slot 9, there seems to be enough Shaper spells (comprising certain relevant spells from Illusion, Conjuration, and Transmutation) to sustain a spell list for a separate Shaper subclass and its flavor of altering reality.METAMORPH FLAVOR[Mass Heal], Shapechange.PSI WARPER FLAVORForesight, Time Stop.Spacetime sensing and altering.PSYKINETIC FLAVOR−There are no telekinetic spells for slot 9.CHANNELER (EXTRAPLANAR) FLAVOR{Astral Projection}, {[Gate]}, {[True Resurrection]}Traveling out of body is psionic flavor, but to other planes of existence elsewhere is less so. The extraplanar entities relate more to the psychic "channeler" doing seances. In this context are Gate and True Resurrection to return a soul from the Celestial Plane or elsewhere to the Material Plane. I dont see these multiversal spells that emphasize and rely on other creatures and even summoning them, as characterizing the flavor of the Psion base class doing mind magic. But these external power sources seem pertinent to the specific subclass concept of a Channeler.</blockquote>
