Psionics and Sorcery Mentalist Spell List 1

This spell list is my psionics system. I nabbed spells from my Wizard and Priest and Druid lists. Including original oriental adventures. I never really like the idea of many completely different game systems in DnD so i made this mentalist list up. I have two main casters. Shamen - who can prepare themselves and pre-learn a variety of spells and interact with spirits and commune with other worlds. Psionicist - a mind mage with more hand to hand prowess, who have pool of energy levels to cast spells or disciplines they know. I will do the classes shortly.

I want something as simple as the old spell systems but usable for fantasy and other genres. Call them mind mages, psychers, psions, illusionists, fakirs, hypnotists, sages, mystics, mental magicians, tomorrow people, whatever. In the world they should just be another kind of spell caster.

Spells or disciplines are grouped into 4 main devotions. A school or college or teacher usually only imparts one devotion so students tend to wander. Starting mentalists can access spell bonus (Wis for a Shaman, Int for a Psionicist) +1 possible devotions. Thus 18 in your prime mentalist stat lets you access all 4 devotions from the start. Otherwise you can get an extra one each new level if you change trainers.

Devotions
Matter - telekinesis, matter and energy school(Star)
Body - body control, healing and transformation school (Circle)
Mind - telepathy, charms and illusions school (spiral or wave)
Sense - awareness, alignment and other planar knowledge school (triangle)

Shamen (Summary)
Traditional tribal mentalists 1d4+1 HP per Lv
Start able to cast 4 cantrips 1 1st lv discipline + Spell bonus
Preselect disciplines before 8 hours meditation to have spells ready
Fight and save more like a wizard, limited weapons, good NWP
1d6+Wis spell bonus disciplines known at first lv
1d3+ Wis spell bonus in new disciplines every new level
Can learn disciplines from other shaman or even a spirit 24hrs per lv

Psionicist (Summary)
Civilised schools of mentalist powers1d8 HP per Lv
Start able to cast 4 cantrips + Spell bonus
8 hours meditation to have energy levels ready to spend on disciplines
Fight and save and weapons more like a priest but edged weapons
Gain some powers to see and interact with spirits and other planes at high levels
1d3+Wis spell bonus disciplines known at first lv
1+ Wis spell bonus in new disciplines every new level
Can trade a non weapon proficiency slot for a discipline

Elves, bards and some others may choose mentalist spells. Choose to be more like a shaman or psionacist for casting style and memorization. Touch spells can only effect yourself not others like specialists

Matter Lore, Body Lore, Mind Lore and Sense Lore are psionic non weapon proficiencies (NWP). Give +1 Lv to effects of disciplines of the appropriate devotion. Also taught by schools.

Balanced-Neutral have the most enemies for alignment struggles getting bonuses vs law, chaos, good and evil, under my alignment rules

Psionics for other classes
For a -5% xp cost a character of an other class could have their Wis bonus in mentalist spells. Only ever get one devotion. Disciplines learned and recovered like a Psionicist. Only get one new discipline known per level. Touch spells can only effect yourself not others like specialists. Basically a 18 Wisdom warrior decides he might go psionic so basically gets a new usable mentalist spell every level till 6. After that can just pick new disciplines known but no additional castings. Spell power levels would increase also.
