Not all magic is reliant upon external sources some users possess inherent internal magic and even if this wasn’t the case psionics have a crutch like this as well. In series I have seen that focus on Psionic powers their ability can reside fully in their genes. As such they can be cured usually by people that see their abilities as abnormal.

So just like people have loved to point out how magic users may be affected by access to external sources of magic, Psionic users may be affected by removing/suppression of genes that make them psionics.

So with that being said I still say pretty much what a lot of people have already said. Magic is definitely more versatile. If we compare both at low levels magic clearly outclasses Psionics in versatility. However as a Psionic user gets stronger they will be able to do more then your common ESP abilities. I will say I definitely prefer magic so I may be a bit biased but still my thinking has always been that even base level magic abilities allow easy access to Psionic abilities and you can not say that statement in reverse and have it hold up.

Sure at higher levels psionics start to look more impressive but then you look at higher levels of magic and you get this. It still seems pretty clear which one is superior.
