WoC made the unique powers of the mind into nothing more than a feeble third type of magic. The spells... oh err powers are nothing more than reworded copies of wizard and sorcery versions. The claim to over 200 different powers is BS, oh there are over 200 if you count all of the minor and greater versions of a given power, as well as all 9 levels of create ectoplasmic construct. They turned useful powers into prestige classes (like mind blade). Overall i am, obviously, dissapointed by the turd editions attempt at psionics.
