I have to disagree,

The Psionics section is NOT just another name for magic. In fact, it is completely different. The magic system of GURPS is skill based, as in you learn magic as skills and use magic like skills.

However, psionics is very much similar to a limitation on advantages. I think they decided to give it its own section because it is more complicated then your standard limitation.

Psionics, IHMO, are much more flavor based in GURPS. The limitation only gives you -10% to advantages, and it really doesn't much make up for the disadvantages (I think it should have been -15%). However, the flavor of psionics are important, and if the GM limits the use of psionics and anti-psionics then it can be a fun addition to any game.
