This is a hypothetical situation: say Form of Mist is played, ending combat and
allowing the action to continue at +1 stealth. Psyche is then played by the
opponent, continuing combat. If the acting vamp is torpored/burned in the
second combat, I presume the action will not continue. What about if the vamp
isn't torpored/burned?

Wow... interesting question.... my answer is obviously my opinion alone
(since I do not know the official ruling) but I'd say yes, if the
vampire survived the combat, they should be able to continue on (since
unlike Magic, the last action does not always take precedence).
However, people could make a case since you play Earth Meld and untap
you don't get the untap after psyche, a similar case would happen here.

There is no official ruling, currently. Net opinion is mostly with you on
this one.

Yes, but blocking causes combat, rather than combat causes the block.
Psyche starts a new combat, but starting a combat does not cause a block,
and Psyche has no special text that says it causes a block. The position
that it SHOULD is not unreasonable, just opposed by a literal reading of
the card and the rules.

I will pass along the question about Psyche vs. Form of Mist.

i don't really know what the original post of this was like, but i can guess.
my interpretation of this situation is that form of mist ends combat-
psyche starts up combat again. during this combat, if the "mister" is
hosed to torpor, the action fails. if not, after this combat, the action
continues at +1 stealth.
just a thought.
