I'm playing an elven Mindblade magus. I like the psychic spells I can use but I'm not too sure about how well the thought component rules mesh with spell combat. When casting thought component spell defensively, you take a minus -10 penalty on concentration checks unless you expend a move action to center yourself. Now maybe if there were an Magus Arcana that allows you to use a pool point in place of a move action...hmmm.

I'm not exactly a fan of psychic magic, if only because I'd gotten into psionics long before this (including Dreamscarred Press' reworking, which is honestly better than anything Wizards of the Coast or Paizo has done), and the psychic duels make me think of the attack and defense modes from earlier editions that were just terrible.

Was never a fan on psionics, didnt like the feel that much, though there were a few classes that had some interesting abliites. Soulknife was pretty neat.

I only recently even bothered looking at the Occult classes, as I was never a fan of psionics in my game of swords and sorcery. That said, I like what I have seen so far, the Kineticist looks interesting, I can get a real Jedi vibe out of the telekineticist, throwing objects or people with the force. The Spiritualist gives me a sort of Shaman King vibe, and I like that they include an archetype that is technically a Divine caster if you don't want to include psionics in your particular game. I haven't looked too deeply into the other classes, but I will give them a look over.
As far as Witch's familiars, I would imagine, as the Witch's conduit to her Patron the familiar is not subject to aging, or death from old age. Just as a Wizard's familiar is seen to be an extension of his soul, I imagine a Witch's familiar to be an extension of the Patron's will.
