Reception
Rick Swan reviewed The Will and the Way for Dragon magazine #213 (January 1995).[1] He commented that although the book was "included as part of the Dark Sun line, this could more accurately be considered a sequel to The Complete Psionics Handbook.[1] Swan concludes the review by saying: "These psionicists are guys you don't want to cross."[1]
