(EAT AT JOES!)
This setting uses a variant of the "Psionics Is Different" rule, as opposed to the "Magic/Psionic Transparency" presumed of most game settings. At present, this is a very rough outline of the exceptions and rules, and should be considered a work in progress.
1. Dispelling: No magic short of a wish or miracle can dispel a psionic effect. No psionic ability short of Alter Reality can dispel a magical effect.
2. Damage types are transparent. Therefore, a psionic fireball will be reduced by magical elemental protection.
3. Physical artifacts created by magic may be effected by Psionics. (Example, a Psionic Freedom of Movement will allow passage through a wizard's Web spell)
4. Psionic and magical abilities that give blanket protections are NOT transparent. (Example, a Psionic Freedom of Movement is not effective against a Cleric's Hold Person, and vice versa.
5. Psionic and Magical effects that read minds, detect persons, or prevent scrying *are* transparent, so a Psionic Mind Blank is effective against a Far Sight spell, for example, and a Non-Detection spell will thwart psionic scrying.
