Can you cite the sources (3e book and page number) for those three? I'm too lazy to dig in the basement to find my 3e Psionics and Voodoo. (Edit: I see in another thread you mention that "Hellboy" has an "Awareness" power on p136. Alas, I don't have Hellboy.)

The 4e Update lists Awareness (from Mage) converting to Detect (Supernatural phenomena and beings), with the 35-point version adding Detect (Auras).

Update doesn't list any 3e ESP sub-power called "Awareness". (Just Clairaudience, Clairvoyance, Precognition, Psychometry.) Posters here have suggested 4e ESP powers as a possible base for building an "Awareness" ability, since the OP mentions Awareness from Psionic Powers. That's a 4e book, so conversion isn't necessary, and it also shouldn't be a point of confusion for 3e, since the book didn't exist then. The 4e Psi Powers "Awareness" is built on Extra-Sensory Awareness defined therein as a type of Scanning Sense, also mentioned upthread.

I'm not sure how something called "Spirit Form" could be confused with something called "Awareness". Not listed in 4e Update. Without knowing the description of the ability, it seems most likely that it's an Alternate Form.

In any event, Update explicitly points out that names might have changed. Check the effects of the power, and use that to choose the new name, rather than get hung up on the name itself.
