Correction: all *human* psi. Gryph stated, recently, that while humans are typically only telepaths, as are Vulcans, there are races that have instances of telekinetics (fr. ex.). And Kei and Yuri are canon precogs.

Well, the only canon Force users that I can think of that have been shown on-camera are: Redneck and his master (and Redneck's biological abilities seem to generally supersede his abilities as a Jedi) and Katsujinkenryuuka (and, maybe Utena, though we're not sure about that yet). Gryph, as a Master, can do things like energy bursts, fading from sight, and the like, which definitely overlap with magic; I'm willing to bet that a sufficiently powerful telepath could at least make himself invisible to the mind (not unlike what Gryph has done).

No argument here about how magic is used. But I'm willing to bet that a mage could readily duplicate the effects of psi and of the Force.

Any canonical answers, or would that be telling?
