With so many languages in the world what does it mean for something to have "true name"?
It's the name that has power. It's probably be taboo, since you don't want to casually invoke it, and it's probably nontrivial; fire probably wouldn't be faɪɚ, and if it were, faɪə or faɪəɹ wouldn't be good enough. ʙ̤ɴ̥ɶ̃ːʙˤɴ̰ːɶ̃ˑ is more likely and heaven help you if you underround a vowel or slightly palatalize the wrong consonant or hold something for too long or too short.
But psionics is a fancy 19th/20th century term for magic that sounds more scientific.If you are manipulating things mentally, doesn't that sound like psionics?
