If GANON can create a Sun of Nothing and not get killed by it, he presumably has some rather absurd MDEF, either that or it has a bull**** "does not hurt caster" clause in there somewhere. Given that his abilities are open to interpretation and that clauses like that are universally bull****, I choose to take it as him having quite good MDEF.
Dunno about psychic attacks though, I generally wouldn't rule that under MDEF but rather... willpower or some such.
This is my take on it, too. Psi is almost always 'not magic'. Even when it claims to fall under the same umbrella as magic it usually doesn't work like that in practice, even (you have the example of D&D again, for instance: psi technically has transparency with magic, but then it doesn't because some stuff is psi only, and some is magic only, and ohnotheserulessuck). Just doesn't make sense to treat it as magic when they have distinctly different origins and methods.
