Dan how do you fluff your Thought Form? Meaning how you describe it?

That would be highly variable depending on the character, and might even change depending on what's going on in the moment. In a battle it would be something vicious and fearsome, in exploration, something subtle.

First things first: yes, soulknife and psychic warrior are right as subclasses for rogue and fighter. But no, psion and wizard isn’t.
I’ve said this before: the first UA about the Mystic was the right way to go. Yes, adjustments were needed, but overall making the psion another wizard is sloppy design. There are more than a few ways to balance this. I’ve even uploaded one to the DMs Guild.
Making psionics another form of spellcasting is not making anyone any service. It was way more interesting to keep disciplnes/sciences as overarching powers with distinct uses.
If the people that want to play psionics would want to play wizards, there will be no need of psions in the first place. It goes against the stablished lore in the Illithid’s history and the Darksun’s lore.
Also, people, make the Intelligence saves significant.
