Ooh, that's a good one!

For me, I think the divide mainly lies in that psionic powers are something someone is born able to do, and magic can be learned by anyone with the right materials, though some (read: Dipper) might have a natural talent for it as well (and some creatures are naturally magical, but this kind of goes into how the two things differ, which I talk about in a bit).

I think it'd also be an internal connection with paranormal energy focused through the mind versus an external connection that requires additional measures to access.

Psionic abilities also seem to have a set range of things they can do-- it might vary a little bit from person to person, but otherwise the number of abilities are fairly limited. The upshot is that with enough practice they become fairly easy to use, and as long as you're careful, get enough rest, and eat well, you probably won't suffer too much from using them. So following this logic:

Raz falls under the Psionic umbrella

Norman does too, though I think his abilities are distinct from the general psychic ones (which I will elaborate on eventually ;3 )

Interestingly I think the Gremloblin falls under this category too; no reason why its nightmare vision isn't a form of clairvoyance and hypnotic suggestion

Magic is more unpredictable; as long as you know the right spell or have the right ingredients, you could conceivably pull off just about anything. Now those ingredients might be almost impossible to get, and your power could come at a terrible cost, but hey, you did magic! Awesome! Too bad the town is, you know, overrun by zombies now. Way to go. Things that fall into this would be:

Gideon's amulet

Any of the spells in the books, obviously

The cursed wax figures. Why were they cursed, and how? Who knows, but wax figures don't become cursed to come to life all on their own. Maybe someone was pulling a prank, haha.

Anyway, those are my thoughts on that! ^^

Okay, new actual theme, but apparently still tiny text. Ah well. Check it out if you like, it's a lot more Gravity Falls-inspired. ouo

could I suggest raz with 21 for the new color challenge?

Really like how this one came out. Sorry it’s late though!

What if Gideon had a crush on Lili?

Did some updating to the blog theme! The format's not any different, but I've added a page with links to all the fics I currently have posted, which should make finding them much easier. I've also added a little bit to the 'Info' page, and with some luck I'll finally get around to making the headcanons page sometime soon.

The ask box, which I didn't know was closed all this time, is now open, but not taking anons for now. If you're not shy, go ahead and make use of it! I'd love to hear from you guys.

A little related, if there's a different blog theme that would be better suited to this-- easier on the eyes, better layout, and so on-- I'd love to hear it! I know right now the text is kind of small, and that makes reading difficult. I'd like to keep it simple and easy to navigate, and make sure people can find what they're looking for. ^^

Lili with 4? maybe?

This one was kinda neat! Sorry it’s late though, haha…
