Coming from somewhere =/= having that level of abilities
That's like saying every Jedi is Low 2-C because the force is a universal thing

Likely un-usable, because that book states that Psionic powers come from the Far Realm, which means we get a case of 1-A hax for Psions.
Dunno about that exactly. There's canonically multiple different valid origins for Psionic Power in 4e
Since Insalanda's time, the population of ardents has increased—some say faster than any other type of psionics user. But the sages cannot agree on why ardents first appeared, or why their numbers are increasing so swiftly. Supporters of various theories such as the belief that psionic energy is a reaction to, or is caused by, aberrant incursions—point to ardents as evidence that the Far Realm's influence is growing. Those who have religious viewpoints believe the increase is the result of conflict between Ioun and Vecna, which has allowed psionic energy to grow uncontrolled. Those who cite the theory of phrenic planes (page 91) suggest that the physical and mental planes are coming into alignment. (See "The Origin of Psionics," page 118, for more on these theories.) But every argument is hypothetical at best, and no faction has offered proof. All they agree on is that the spread of ardents suggests that psionic energy is indeed growing more prevalent in the world.
Even the Far Realm theory has three versions. One being that Psionics is a defense mechanism against Far Realm corruption or a sign of it in the mortal world. Then the third has it be the echo of Madness that allows people to draw from the Realm of perfect order. Even the original origin in the third Player's handbook said this:
Some speculate that psionic magic is a force that originates in the Far Realm and came into the universe with the sundering of the Living Gate. Others, including most practitioners of psionic ways, believe that their power is the world's response to the intrusion of the Far Realm, similar to a mortal body's reaction to disease. Perhaps Ioun herself learned the mysteries of the psionic way when she peered through the Living Gate, and foreseeing a future incursion of Far Realm monstrosities into the world, she taught her mortal followers the use of psionics so that they might have a defense prepared.
So its not really Far Realm energies. Just energies created as a response to the Far Realm's influence on the Multiverse

Also, for the power itself, its not an example of High-Godly regen. The person you target can resist the power (which isn't shocking considering D&D resists literally everything) and the effect of the power takes awhile to actually kill the target which gives them more time to just resist the ability.
4e is still usable fyi. It was decided that some feats weren't applicable because they were outliers like MFTL+ attack speed for level 1 characters or casual af 1-A mind hax, but other stuff is still completely usable.

Many psionics scholars believe that psionc energy comes from other planes-most commonly the Far realm or the Plane of Dreams."Qawsedf234 said:
I mean, there's even spells that summon Far Realm entities directly.
"Far Realm's Embrace
You tear aside the veil to the Far Realm, calling forth phantasmal tentacles that attack and ensnare all creatures in their reach."
Summon Far Realm Abomination:
Your power tears the fabric of reality, summoning tentacled horror from the Far realm that lays waste to your foes.
Seems fairly set in stone it comes from the Far Realm in some capacity.

Yeah the Far Realm has something to do with it, it just doesn't fuel their power. Its created as a response to the Far Realm, not fueled by it. Though they would still have 1-A teleportation powers I guess.

The important thing is, can gods survive the attack?

The UA article is canon until a 5e supplement retcons it. For you Zach, yeah they can survive it but will take constant damage until they resist the effects.

So... is that high godly or...?

Not really. If they die they would be gone-gone or need someone else to bring them back.

Which would mean no one in DnD can kill or has high godly... crap

Altjough. Should Vecna'a high godly justification be changed

I think his may still count, since with his feat everyone but him/The Overgods die so there's no concept left for him to regenerate from. Just his own stuff.

Just change the wording then
