Touchsight is a psionic power. It has a manifestor level, manifesting time, range, duration, and target. It's a power. It's as different as.... Damn, can't think of a non-racial comparison.

Arcane and Divine? Spells and Stances? Incarnum? Psionics are a sub-system of magic that work mostly the same as arcane spells do. Divine is a sub-system of magic that works mostly the same as arcane spells do. Looks like a duck, talks like a duck... Don't care if it's a goose.

D&D 4E Herald and M:tG Rules Advisor
I expect posters to follow the Code of Conduct, use Basic Etiquette, and avoid Poor Logic.  If you don't follow these guidelines, I consider you to be disrespectful to everyone on these forums.  If you respond to me without following these guidelines, I consider it a personal attack.
I grew up in a bilingual household, which means I am familiar with the difficulties in adopting a different vocabulary and grammar.  That doesn't bother me.  Persistent use of bad capitalization, affirming the consequent, and flaming bother me a great deal.

Rule that I would change: 204.1b Show
204.1b Some effects change an object’s card type, supertype, or subtype but specify that the object retains a prior card type, supertype, or subtype. In such cases, all the object’s prior card types, supertypes, and subtypes are retained. This rule applies to effects that use the phrase “in addition to its types” or that state that something is “still a [card type].” Some effects state that an object becomes an “artifact creature”; these effects also allow the object to retain all of its prior card types and subtypes.

"Eight Edition Rules Update"
We eventually decided not to change this template, because players are used to “becomes an artifact creature,” and like it much better.

Players were used to Combat on the Stack, but you got rid of that because it was unintuitive. The only phrase needed is "in addition to its types"; the others are misleading and unintuitive.

Psionics and Magic used to be...rather different than they were in 3e/3.5. But they got simplified. To the max.

In which case it's not a duck, because ducks float. They're also heavier than witches.

Not true, Witches are made of wood, Wizards are not.
