I can see why this would be a grey zone but if I understand the two powers correctly the primary difference would be as follows. Prescience is instinctive and therefore ones knowledge (if it’s not going a tad too far to call it that) arises below or beyond ones conscious awareness. Precognition involves one consciously aware of what the future may hold. A couple of points of clarification. As is hopefully apparent prescience (being instinctively rooted) is normally beyond ones conscious control (think Alice Cullen from the Twilight series). Similarly Precognition being a conscious process (thus the cognition part) does not mean one has control over what, where, or when one sees ones “visions” nor does one necessarily have any more control over what actually comes to pass.
