Cleaned up messy mid section. Clarified the meaning of the page. Changed reference.


Note that this is not PsychicPowers. Traditionally, psychic abilities are from the mind of the user and focus on mental powers. {{Magic}} can have many sources and grant pretty much any power, but magic typically is more than just willing it to happen on its own. Of course, some systems consider it all the same thing anyway.
