even if i tell you about magic theory i dont think it will be of much use because different from science which works which works naturaly magic needs the direct intervention of the magician to have any effect so if you cant channel energy you wont be able to cast any spell

while science searches for the cause to reproduce effects magic works to cause effects

one of the principles of magic is the principle of similarity where a replica of something or a symbol can inherit a very little part of the originals power, this is the principle behind the crucifix and other things

other is the principle of contagion also called infection magic where affecting the copy can affect the original on some way which is the principle used on voodoo dolls

both these principles are applied to the mental images of psychics of course reality cannot be changed simply by thinking and causing physical changes is very difficult so magicians normally use indirect magic to affect odds instead off physical phenomena wich makes it easier to bring the desired effects

psionics is also called direct magic which is intended to produce physical changes and so its more difficult to use, we often practice visualization meditation and energy manipulation to improve but even so it still not anything near what you see on movies, most peoples also use it on micro level like affecting the way a dice fall or the signal of a tv but macrokinesis is also possible its just very rare and difficult
