Magical Psyonics virsus
I was also wondering if it would be possible to make a virsus that targets Magical beings or Psyonic beings??

The organism itself would have to be magical in nature, most likely a P.P.E. vampire style organism a la Mystic Leeches. So long as there was a viable way to make it target P.P.E. or I.S.P. laden being, it could be done.
If you're talking just magic users or psionic users, that would be difficult. There is no inherent difference between them and others. It would have to be actual Creature of Magic or pure psionic essences that were targetted for it to be truly selective.

That is simply the use and development of potential, it is not a genetic difference. Viruses target specific genetics, therefore, you need a genetic difference to specify your target.
Creatures of Magic are genetically different, so they're a logical viral target. Normal mundane magic users are just normal mundane people genetically, so they aren't a logical viral target.

(sorry for bad spelling am pretty tired)
A fair question, for which I don't have a rock-solid answer.
Personally, I always have looked at it simply as "some people have it, some people don't" in the same way I'd suggest that for sports, singing pitch, imagination, artistic ability, and a hundred other things. I consider it mostly a matter of personal effort to develop potential, the same way as magic.
I.S.P. is formed from the focusing of P.P.E. towards certain purposes, and that key word in P.P.E., "potential," tells me it's something everybody has but only some use.

For mages and those being that use PPE for their powers, it would cripple them. Now if it also consumed Chi then it would eventually kill them....becasue the body uses its Chi to heal itself, and if it has no Chi there is no healing.
But you didn't say you wanted a Killing Virus, you just said one that targeted Magical or PSI beings. Besides if this would be a 'natural' virus it would of develpoed to keep the host alive a long time as to have a greater chance of passing itself along to other hosts.

May you be blessed with the ability to change course when you are off the mark.
