The dictionaries dont convey the connotations.

Generally the mystics of many different religious traditions (Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, etcetera) agree they are all perceiving the same "ultimate reality" despite arriving by different traditions.

 

[Yaarel]

He was more reality warper than telekinetic seer wasnt he? He always appeared where he was needed so that things happen as they should

Both are mind-over-matter.

I consider the Wish spell the purist expression of mind-over-matter. The mind wills it, thus the reality happens.

 

[Yaarel]

Actually, I prefer the term "Prescient" (rather than diviner or psychic).

Both the psionic discipline and the arcane school can be called "Prescience".

 

[AdmundfortGeographer]

A Visionary.

 

[jgsugden]

I have a rough build for psionics in 5E, although I generally use it for NPCs and do not open it up to PCs as psionics are rare and I've been waiting for 5E to provide official rules. It is constructed around the six disciplines of the 2E Psionics Handbook (clairsentience (divination), psychokinesis (animating and controlling existing objects and forces), psychometabolism (body-changing powers), psychoportation (teleportation variants), telepathy (mental communication and psychic attacks), and metapsionics (enhancement of other psychic abilities)), but also includes a few extra disciplines of my own creation.

To me, based upon the old school disciplines of 2E, I'd recommend Clairsentient.
