Same issue if you play that classes are more descriptors than outright jobs. If you play as a cleric who isn't an actual priest, but the class fits your character idea better than wizard does (maybe your spellbook is filled with holy writ), you might still call yourself a wizard. In my setting, there are priests, who get their powers from gods, and mages, who get their powers in any other way. One of the players is a mage (although he calls himself a sorcerer), but class-wise, he's actually a sun soul monk. I had a BBEG who was a priest (charismatic preacher type) but who was actually a warlock.So to me, psionics doesn't invoke any greater (or lesser) sense of awe than any other type of magic.</blockquote>
