>>51197657i feel its the same as DnD sorcerors. you don't need to be smart to use magic. i'm not convinced that being intelligent is necessarily a requirement for being psychic. it may even be advantageous to breed out certain traits like an independence streak for a combat voir.
your gardevoir can tell you're feeling sad. doesn't mean it knows why, how to make you feel better, etc. it may not be intuitive. they still need context and context requires intuition.
