@Cyrania:

If you're treating The Force and Aura/Semblance as psychic powers, then you have a massive error of concept.


 * Psychic Powers (or PSI) are abilities that come exclusively from the mind, and are dependant of the person's fortitude of mind.


 * The Force is the energy that surrounds all living beings and that people attuned to them (have a higher midichlorian count) can manipulate to their will. It is measureable.


 * Aura is a power that comes from the soul of any living being and allow for some people to manifest it in unique ways. It is measureable.

I really don't know what else to tell you.

Like I said, I'm not a fan of stories that just add too much stuff to their lore and world-building. They're a killjoy for me. That is why I made this thread to begin with, so I hope that you take this advice.

Creating the "Specialists," Star Wars' expies of Huntsmen works, because it makes sense on a conceptual level. Treating Aura and Force as PSI doesn't, because it is incorrect on a conceptual level.
