On the other hand, I also don't see a hard line between 'psionics' and 'cosmic horror magic,' either (and didn't even before reading GURPS Dungeon Fantasy 14, which IIRC has psi-as-cosmic-horror).

It's just that psionics is usually organized in related disciplines and not like being able to only do Astral Projection, Remote Viewing, Emotion Control, Access the Akashic Records, and Slay a Yak at 200 yds with Mind Bullets. Even the "real" books about developing psychic power typically group them in disciplines.
