The Bible has a line in it, about "not suffering a witch to live" which is in large part why 'magic' is the realm of the "non-faithful". But that is actually a poor translation. The original word in Hebrew has a different connotation, instead of "witch" the meaning is more accurately "one who uses magic to harm others" And that is because the stories of the famous and powerful Rabbis who performed "miracles" were seen as magic by those people. The Golem of Prague was made by inscribing the word for Life upon it, the tradition heavily leans about only Rabbis of certain purity and devotion knowing certain words, because speaking those words were words of power. And they would only allow those of good character who would exercise restrain learning those secrets.Very tangentially related to the conversation, I just like how DnD is reflecting an much older understanding of what magic is, but combining the multiple practices under a single Aegis.I don't mind a Psion class. I think it will have to work a little to be different from an Enchanter Wizard with the proper spell list, but I am interested in seeing how they would accomplish that. My favorite idea so far has been adopting the structures of the Warlock into the Psion Class, since having something similar to invocations feels right mechanically.</blockquote>
