What would be a good old-school/medieval term for someone with innate psychic powers?
For context they are
- genetic/inherent
- separate from arcane studies/pacts
- more mental than physical; telepathic > telekinetic
> Medium is usually associated with ghosts or spirits
> Psyker is 40k
> Empath is too sci-fi
> Orcale/auger are too specific
Witch.

The possibilities are endless. Yes, a few of those are just "insults" that the commoners would use.
nah
Same sort of problem with Oracle/auger; typically associated almost exclusively with the ability to see the future, or scry information.
Kind of depends on what you're going for: a common name could be anything from . You could just use "psychic" as a more academic classification, though.
> separate from arcane studies/pacts
-is kind of the primary issue with these suggestions, as well as my own block.
Of them, Seer is perhaps the most appropriate, could be thematically worked as "someone who sees what others cannot," and so on, but it's not jumping out at me due to it's associated preconceptions.
