Silver wire gently encloses and binds a large core crystal and several smaller crystals in a geometric design. The aquamarine crystals emit a faint glow.

A cognizance crystal stores power points, which the holder can use to manifest a psionic power she knows (instead of spending points from her own power pool). You cannot directly replenish your personal power points from those stored in a cognizance crystal, nor can you draw power points from more than one source to manifest a power (even if that second source is your own power pool).
A cognizance crystal can store only as many power points as its original maximum, set at the time of its creation. When a crystal’s power points are used up, the glow of the crystal dims. A user can recharge it by paying power points on a 1-for-1 basis (a standard [mental] action).
While doing this depletes the user’s own power point reserve for the day, those power points remain available in the crystal until used.
Before you can use a cognizance crystal, you must hold or have it on your person for at least 10 continuous minutes.
A typical cognizance crystal has AC 7, 10 hit points, hardness 8, and a break DC of 16.
