So far this is what we have:

(Things in paranthesees are what I am not sure of)

We will add another priority to the chracer generation table, putting in
psionics.

To be a Full Psi you devote A. Adept Psi B. Wild Psi C.

They recieve a Psi rating at creation, which starts at six (It is reduced
by headware and nerve enhancing cyberware ONLY)

Powers are going to handeled like spells.

You may be a psi mage.

You use force points to purchase disciplines and powers.

They have no astral access.

They will have a thing simelir to initiation available.

Additions/ Corrections?

Still being debated; I'd rather not add anything except Psi.

Agreed.

Still being debated; the mechanics would get really complicated
if we did it that way.

All three -- agreed.

When the friggin' hell did this happen? NO! Limited, or
different from magical, astral access -- yes. But NONE? Not if you want
a usable system with _any_ connections to modern mythology.

Yes. Astral access may only be avaliable through this; that
could be where you got confused.
