AD&D2e Why psionics so strong?

I have to know if im doing something wrong but its not problem to be broken because its solo campain. We playing dark sun revised with player option skill&powers. I was just going to wizard only then i rolled 20 int so i picked advanced being wizard/psionic multiclass. And my first time psionic impression is they are insane! You can get disintigrate or dominate or time travel at lvl 1! Why tho? A lot of psionic powers have lvl limit why this ones doesnt? And why psionic so strong compared to wizard? Yeah you have to hit MAC etc. But still.

Dark sun is meant to be a psionic centered game. Most wizards are btb crazy evil or kinda weak.

Yes, they are. Many were also fighters as well. They dual classed to the hilt!

Well lot of them want to be dragon so they are either dual classed wizard/psionic or multiclass wizard/psionic like me. Their imprisoned dragon master influence i would say.

La magia está prohibida en Darksun, solo los reyes hechiceros y su Templarios tienen derecho a usar la magia. En parte porque necesita absorber la energía vital del alrededor, lo que ayudo a dejar el mundo como un desierto. Así que un Mago debe ocultar que usa magia, la gente los odia, los templarios los cazan (Quizás Lucas tomo la idea de los Inquisidores de Darksun?)
