Good discussion! I definitely see a use for natural psionic powers, so that some species and intelligent races might have them as a baseline. For example, some insects might have a gestalt hive mind via low-level telepathy, or a race may have a natural empathic talent. If there is a genetic or bio-magical underpining for these talents in nature, then it's conceivable that they could arise as "wild talents" in other people as well.
