Psychics do not practice spirit magic, that is more of the vein of shamans. By opening up spirit magic, you transform a psychic campaign into a supers campaign very quickly, as the allies can potentially do anything. I would suggest a different approach if you want to use Astral Entities.

Reality Projection [5/level]

Reality Projection represents a suite of abilities that allow a character to affect Astral Entities from Reality and to project Astral Entities into Reality. Its powers include Afflictions (Insubstantial Only), Allies (Astral Entities with Summonable), Innate Attacks (Insubstantial Only), See Invisible (Astral), etc.

Sample Ability

Manifest: Affliction (Malediction 1, +100%; Duration, Permanent, Only Banished, +150%; Insubstantial Only, -30%; Selectivity, +10%; Negate Advantage, Insubstantial with Always On, +40%; Negate Disadvantage, Mute with Substantial Only, +220%; Reality Projection, -10%) [58]
