Craft Cognizance Crystal

(Expanded Psionics Handbook, page 44, DnD 3.5)

[Item Creation, Psionic]

You can create psionic cognizance crystals that store power points.

Prerequisite

Manifester level 3rd

Benefit

You can create a cognizance crystal. Doing so takes one day for each 1,000 gp in its base price. The base price of a cognizance crystal is equal to the highest-level power it could manifest using all its stored power points, squared, multiplied by 1,000 gp. For example, a cognizance crystal that stores 5 power points could be used to manifest a power as high as 3rd level. Thus, its cost is 9,000 gp (3 × 3 × 1,000 = 9,000). To create a cognizance crystal, you must spend 1/25 of its base price in XP and use up raw materials costing onehalf its base price.
