About the Class

As a psion, you are a student of the psionic disciplines: Clairsentience, Metacreativity, Psychokinesis, Psychometabolism, Psychoportation, and Telepathy.

Perhaps you have spent years inferring the nature of psionics from deteriorating tomes and scrolls in a grand library, or apprenticed under a master- meditating on the meanings.

Whatever your origin, your devotion and mastery have made you an embodiment of true psychic power; capable of shaping reality in accordance with your will.

Features

Magic-Psionic Interactions (or Lack Thereof)

Specialization

At 1st level, you begin down the path of your chosen Specialization.

You acquire features from your Specialization at 1st, 6th, 14th, and 18th level.

Qualith

1st-level optional feature

Starting at 1st level, you can read, speak, and write Qualith- the psychic language of the Illithids. This language can be fully understood only by psionic creatures.

Taking this feature grants you a form of telepathy that you can use as freely as verbal speech; allowing you to send telepathic messages to a creature you can see within 120 feet. Your messages must be in a language the recipient knows, or else they simply “hear” unintelligible syllables and do not understand the message.

Speaking Qualith traditionally involves using the tentacles of the Illithid’s face to make gestures as they use telepathy to color the meanings. Non-Illithids can utilize any of the following to replicate the gestures:

• astral constructs (metacreativity)

• manipulation of facial hair (psychokinesis/psychoportation)

• boneless fingers (psychometabolism)

• perception altering (telepathy)

Text of this language, traditionally, is inscribed on surfaces in the form of four parallel, textured lines. Additionally, the text is imbued with psychic energy to convey the full message. An Illithid reads by running their tentacles along the lines while utilizing their psionics to interpret the meaning within the imbued psychic energy.

After inscribing the text, implant a telepathic message of up to 10 words + 10 words per your manifester level. You do so in a language you know. A non-psionic creature attempting to read the text must succeed on an Intelligence saving throw with a DC set by 11 + your manifester level. On a failure, they “hear” meaningless mental syllables, and take 1d4 non-lethal psychic damage. On a success, they do not comprehend the message unless using magic, such as Comprehend Languages, and do not take the psychic damage.

Autohypnosis

Starting at 2nd level, you are able to make Wisdom (autohypnosis) checks with proficiency. You can do the following:

• Ignore pain: When you are subject to a non-magical secondary effect from a damage source, you can make an autohypnosis check against a DC equal to the damage taken or DC 10 (whichever is higher). On a success, you ignore the secondary effects, but you still take the damage- in this way, you can ignore the movement penalty of caltrops.

Metapsionics

At 3rd level, you gain two metapsionic options. You gain an additional one at 5th, 10th, 14th, and 17th level.

When you use a psionic power, you can use one metapsionic option you know (unless you would exceed your psi limit).

Starting at 5th level, provided you cover the costs with mastery psi points, you can use, and even repeat, multiple metapsionic options you know simultaneously.

Bolster Power (1 psi/mastery). When forcing a saving throw with a psionic power, you can add +1 to the save DC. You add another +1 per additional use of this option.

Burrowing Power (1 psi/mastery). On making a ranged psionic attack, your power briefly passes through the Astral Plane up to 5 feet along its path. Your power exits the Astral just before getting to the target. You ignore the benefits of partial cover with this option.

Chain Power (1 psi/mastery). On targeting with a power, you choose an additional target for the power per use of this option. Each additional use of the power is resolved in order of whichever target is closest to the previous one. Any damage dealt is half that dealt to the previous target. Each new target must make the saving throw against the ability if it has one.

Delay Power (1 psi/mastery). On manifesting a power, you specify when in the near future the ability goes into effect (up to 5 rounds). Effects resolve as normal at the specified time. You pay the psi cost when you manifest the power, and not when it goes into effect.

Enlarge Power (1 psi/mastery). On manifesting a power with a range of 5 feet or greater, the range becomes double its normal range for that use of the power. If the power’s range is touch, the range becomes 30 feet.

Maximize Power (1 psi/mastery). When resolving a psionic power involving a numeric total (dealing damage, healing hit points, etc.), you reroll a number of the dice up to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of one). You use the greater result for each rerolled die. Repeated uses of this option do not stack.

Quickened Power (2 psi/mastery). When you manifest a power that requires an action, you can use this option to manifest it with a bonus action for that use of the power. Repeated uses of this option do not stack.

Subtle Power (1 psi/mastery). When you manifest a power, you can use this option to suppress the tells of your psionics.

Transdimensional Power (2 psi/mastery). Your ability affects a target you perceive within an extradimesional space (i.e. a creature using Rope Trick, Blink, etc.). You can affect another creature per additional use of this option.

Metapsionic Options

3rd-level optional feature

These options are added to the Metapsionics feature.

Energy Conversion (1 psi/mastery). When you would deal acid, cold, fire, lightning, or thunder damage with a psionic power, you can choose to deal one of the other aforementioned damage types instead.

Split Psionic Ray (1 psi/mastery). When you attack with a psionic ray, you can produce an additional one per use of this option. Each additional ray deals the same damage as the first, and can hit targets within 30 feet of the initial target.

Widen Power (1 psi/mastery). On using an area ability, you increment the size of a cone by 15 feet, the length of a line by 10 feet, the height of a cylinder by 10 feet, a radius by 5 feet, or every dimension of a cube by 5 feet; you do so per use of this option.

Willpower

Starting at 4th level, when your hit points would reach 0, you can choose to make a DC 20 Wisdom check with proficiency. On a success, you have 1 hit point instead of dropping to 0 hit points.

You can use this feature to attempt the save up to a number of times equal to your Intelligence modifier, and regain any expended uses after finishing a long rest.

Psionic Mastery

Starting at 5th level, you generate 1 mastery psi point at the start of each of your turns. At that time, any remaining mastery psi points you generated on your previous turn disappear.

Mastery psi points can be used to utilize your metapsionic options and augment your psionic talents. Mastery psi points count toward your psi limit, and you cannot exceed your psi limit with them.

At higher levels. The number of mastery psi points you generate increases by one at 11th level (2 mastery psi points), and again at 17th level (3 mastery psi points).

Strength of Mind

Starting at 8th level, the mental bulwark of your mind stands stalwart against transgression.

• You have resistance to psychic damage.

• Your mind cannot be read unless you allow it.

• While under any compulsion effect to speak the truth (i.e. when subject to a Zone of Truth), you can willfully lie via telepathy.

Schism

Starting at 10th level, you can spend 10 minutes and 3 psi points to create a secondary sentience within your mind.

This secondary sentience is only capable of performing purely mental actions. It telepathically communicates with you and has the same Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma ability scores as you, but it is otherwise treated as a separate entity. It does not have access to your class features, feats, racial traits, proficiencies, etc..

The secondary sentience has an action it can take on each of your turns to produce a psionic talent you know. Powers it manifests must only take 1 action, and cannot have a range of touch.

If you were to become charmed, you can use a reaction for the secondary entity to become charmed in your stead. Doing so shields you from becoming charmed, destroys the secondary sentience, and ends any effects it maintained.

Starting at 14th level, the secondary sentience can spend 1 psi point to produce psionic powers you know; 2 psi points at 18th level. Psi points spent by it come out of your pool of psi points and also count toward your psi limit.

Manifest Power (6th)

Starting at 11th level, you can push past your psi limit.

Your psi limit becomes 7 for a single manifestation of your psionics.

You can use this feature once, and regain use of it after finishing a long rest.

Manifest Power (7th)

At 13th level, you press further beyond your limits.

Your psi limit becomes 8 for a single manifestation of your psionics.

You can use this feature once, and regain use of it after finishing a long rest.

Manifest Power (8th)

At 15th level, you go even further beyond.

Your psi limit becomes 9 for a single manifestation of your psionics.

You can use this feature once, and regain use of it after finishing a long rest.

Manifest Power (9th)

At 17th level, you reach for the pinnacle of psionic power.

Your psi limit becomes 10 for a single manifestation of your psionics.

You can use this feature once, and regain use of it after finishing a long rest.

Psionic Body

At 20th level, your mastery of psionic power causes your mind to transcend the body, infusing your form with psionic energy. You gain the following benefits:

• You gain resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage.

• You no longer age.

• You are immune to disease, exhaustion, poison damage, and the poisoned condition.

• If you die, roll a d20. On a 10 or higher, you discorporate with 0 hit points instead of dying, and you fall unconscious. You and your gear disappear. You appear at a spot of your choice 1d3 days later on the plane of existence where you died, having gained the benefits of one long rest.

Specializations (Subclasses)

Psychosenescence

14th-level Egoist feature

You age considerably slower. You age 1 year for every 10 years that pass.

As an action, you can alter your body in numerous ways. To the extent that your facial features, hair color, skin tone, height (up to 2 feet taller or shorter), and apparent age can be as you desire.

Improved Psionic Durability

18th-level Egoist feature

You gain resistance to the radiant and necrotic damage types.

Energy Fortress

You can use this feature once, and regain use of it after completing a long rest.

Energy Domain

18th-level Kineticist feature

You designate a point you can see within 150 feet, and force each creature within a 30-ft radius to make a saving throw determined by your energy affinity. A creature within the area takes 10d10 damage of your energy affinity on a failure, or half as much on a success. Effects persist in the area for 1 minute. A creature ending their turn in the affected area must repeat the saving throw, taking 1d10 of the same damage type on a failure.

You can use this feature once, and regain use of it after completing a long rest.

Nomad

You gain Athletics and Survival proficiencies. For each skill proficiency you already have, you take a new skill proficiency.

Claircognition

18th-level Seer feature

You acquire a sixth sense. You are aware of the location of creatures with an Intelligence score of 3 or higher that are within 10 feet of you. Invisibility does not impose disadvantage on you when targeting creatures detected by this feature.

You gain proficiency with Deception, as well as with disguise kits. If you already have either of these proficiencies, you may take a new proficiency of the same category (skills or tools).

Metacreativity Specialist

1st-level Shaper feature

You gain the following powers at the respective levels in this class. When you gain a level in this class, you can switch one power on the table with another power from the metacreativity discipline of the same manifester level.

3rd	Concealing Amorpha, Psionic Spiritual Weapon
5th	Ectoplasmic Cocoon, Energy Wall
7th	Create Quintessence, Psionic Fabricate

Manifest Astral Construct

1st-level Shaper feature

You can use a bonus action to magically manifest a construct from ectoplasm in an unoccupied space you can see within 15 feet of you. Its translucent form is vaguely humanoid and shines softly, but otherwise appears as you desire. It lasts until it is destroyed, until you dismiss it as a bonus action, until you manifest another construct, or until you're incapacitated. Your construct can be up to 30 feet away from you, and disappears if any further away.

Your astral construct has AC 14 + your proficiency bonus, 1 hit point, and immunity to all conditions. If it has to make a saving throw, it uses your saving throw bonus for the roll. It is the same size as you, and it occupies its space. On your turn, you can mentally command the construct to move up to 30 feet in any direction (no action required).

Psychic damage that would be dealt to your construct is dealt to you instead.

You can use the construct in the following ways:

• As a bonus action and at a cost of 15 feet of your movement, you can teleport to within 5 feet of your construct regardless of the distance between the two of you.

• When you take the Attack action on your turn, any attack you make with that action can originate from your space or the construct’s space. You make this choice for each attack.

• Your construct can use your psionic powers as if you were standing in its place.

Somatic Link

6th-level Shaper feature

You can use an action to perceive through your astral construct. For the duration, your sight and hearing are received through the construct, effectively blinding and deafening your body; you are able perform actions as you normally would; your body appears to be in a state of deep trance, meditation, or slumber; your construct can travel up to 1000 feet away from you.

Ectopic Reconstitution

14th-level Shaper feature

When your astral construct drops to 0 hit points, you can use your reaction to spend 2 psi points and prevent its form from discorporating- restoring it to 1 hit point.

You can do so a number of times up to your Intelligence modifier.

Enduring Link

18th-level Shaper feature

While controlling your astral construct with Somatic Link, it can travel any distance from you while on the same plane, and damage dealt to it can be dealt to you in the form of non-lethal psychic damage instead of the construct receiving damage. Even if you and your construct would no longer be on the same plane as one another, you can maintain direct control of the construct.

Swift tendrils of thought disrupt the unconscious mind of any one creature you can see within range, sapping its might. The target must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw, or become subject to this power for the duration. As long as the manifester remains concentrating fully on this power, the subject is confused, making it unable to independently determine what it will do.

Object Reading

Clairsentience 2

• Psi Cost: 2
• Manifesting Time: Action
• Range: Touch
• Display:
• Duration: 1 hour, conc.

After focusing on an object for a time, you can start to learn details of an inanimate object’s previous owner. Objects accumulate psychic impressions left by their previous owners, which can be read by use of this power. The amount of information revealed depends on how long you study a particular object.

1st Minute. Last owner’s race.

2nd Minute. Last owner’s gender.

3rd Minute. Last owner’s age.

4th Minute. Last owner’s alignment.

5th Minute. How the last owner gained and lost the object.

6th+ Minute. Next-to-last owner’s race, and so on.

The power always correctly identifies the last owner of the item, and the original owner (if you keep the power active long enough).

There is a 90% chance that this power will successfully identify all other former owners in sequence, but there is a 10% chance that one former owner will be skipped and thus not identified.

This power will not identify casual users as owners. (Anyone who uses an object to attack someone or something is not thereafter considered a casual user.)

An object without any previous owners reveals no information. You can continue to run through a list of previous owners and learn details about them as long as the power’s duration lasts. If you use this power additional times on the same object, the information yielded is the same as if you were using the power on the object for the first time.

Augment. For every additional psi point you spend, this power’s maximum duration increases by 10 minutes.

After which, this ability ends, but the anchor remains for 8 hours.

Transposition

Psychoportation 2

• Psi Cost: 2
• Manifesting Time: Action
• Range: 90 feet
• Display:
• Duration: Instantaneous

Choose a creature you can see within range. The target creature must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or become subject to this power. You and the subject teleport, swapping places, and your speed is reduced to 0 until the end of the turn. This ability fails and is wasted if either of you can’t fit in the destination space. A creature can willingly fail the saving throw.

Alternatively, you can choose two willing creatures, and they switch places.

Spiritual Weapon, Psionic

Metacreativity 2

The wall is an opaque sheet of energy up with length up to 20 feet/level, or a ring of energy with a radius of up to 5 feet/level. Upon manifesting this power, you choose acid, cold, fire, lightning, or thunder. One side of the wall, selected by you, sends forth waves of energy, dealing 2d6 points of damage to creatures and objects within 10 feet and 1d6 points of damage to those beyond 10 feet but within 20 feet. In addition, anyone passing through the energy wall takes 2d6 points of damage.

Fate Link

Claisentience 3

• Psi Cost: 3
• Manifesting Time: Action
• Range: 60 feet
• Display:
• Duration: 1 hour

Two creatures you can see within range must make a Wisdom saving throw; both creatures must also be within 30 feet of each other. If both fail, you temporarily link their fates. If either linked creature experiences pain, both feel it. When one loses hit points, the other loses the same amount. If one takes nonlethal damage, so does the other. If one creature is subjected to an effect to which it is immune (such as a type of elemental damage), the linked creature is not subjected to it either.

No other effects are transferred by the fate link.

Haste, Psionic

The air ripples with the force of your mental attack, which blasts the minds of all creatures in range.

• Range: 60 feet
• Display: Visual
• Duration: 1 round

You force a Medium or smaller creature you can see within range to make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failure, the creature is thrust into the future, returning at the start of their turn in the next round. In effect, the subject seems to disappear in a shimmer of silver energy, then reappear after the duration. The subject reappears in exactly the same orientation and condition as before. From the subject’s point of view, no time has passed at all.

If the space from which the subject departed is occupied upon his return to the time stream, he appears in the closest unoccupied space, still in his original orientation. Determine the closest space randomly if necessary.

Touchsight

Psychometabolism 3

• Psi Cost: 3
• Manifesting Time: Action
• Range: Self (60-ft radius)
• Display: Visual
• Duration: 10 min., conc.

You generate a subtle telekinetic field of mental contact, allowing you to “feel” your surroundings even in total darkness or when your sight would otherwise be obscured by your physical environment. Your touchsight field emanates from you out to 60 feet. You ignore invisibility, darkness, and concealment, though you must have line of effect to a creature or an object to discern it. You do not need to make Wisdom (Perception) checks to notice creatures; you can detect and pinpoint all creatures within 60 feet. In many circumstances, comparing your regular senses to what you learn with touchsight is enough to tell you the difference between visible, invisible, hiding, and concealed creatures.

4th-level

Dimensional Anchor

Psychoportation 4

• Psi Cost: 4
• Manifesting Time: Action
• Range: 120 feet
• Display: Visual
• Duration: 10 min.

Upon manifesting this power, a green ray springs from your outstretched hand. As an action, you make a ranged psionic attack against a creature or object you can see within 120 feet. Any creature or object struck by the ray is covered with a shimmering emerald field that completely blocks extradimensional travel. Forms of movement barred by a dimensional anchor include Astral Projection, Blink, Dimension Door, Etherealness, Gate, Maze, Plane Shift, Teleport, and similar magic powers. The power also prevents the use of a Gate or Teleportation Circle for the duration.

Dimensional Anchor does not interfere with the movement of creatures already in ethereal or astral form, nor does it block extradimensional attacks or perception. Also, dimensional anchor does not prevent summoned creatures from disappearing at the end of a summoning spell.

Energy Ball

Psychokinesis 4

• Psi Cost: 4
• Manifesting Time: Action
• Range: 150 feet
• Display: Visual
• Duration: Instantaneous

Upon manifesting this power, you choose acid, cold, fire, lightning, or thunder. As an action, you cause a 20-ft radius explosion of energy of the chosen type, centered on a point you can see within range. This explosion spreads around corners. Every creature within the area must make a Dexterity saving throw, taking 7d6 points of damage on a failure, or half as much on a success. The explosion creates almost no pressure (unless dealing force damage).

Augment. You deal an added 1d6 points of damage per additional psi point spent.

Fabricate, Psionic

Metacreativity 4

• Psi Cost: 4
• Display: Material

As the Fabricate spell, except as noted here.

Inertial Barrier

Psychokinesis 4

• Psi Cost: 4
• Manifesting Time: Action
• Range: Self
• Display:
• Duration: 1 hour

You create a skin-tight psychokinetic barrier around yourself that resists blows, cuts, stabs, and slashes, as well as providing some protection against falling. You gain resistance to all bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage. Inertial Barrier also absorbs half the damage you take from any fall.

Metamorphosis

Psychometabolism 4

• Psi Cost: 4
• Manifesting Time: Bonus action
• Range: Self
• Display: Visual and Olfactory
• Duration: 1 hour, conc.

You can take on a non-unique form that resembles a creature you are familiar with. The CR of said creature must be equal to or less than your manifester level. You can take most forms, except for those of undead, constructs, and those of an incorporeal or gaseous nature. You gain the physical ability scores of your new form. You retain your mental ability scores, personal identity, and telepathy. Any form you take must be within one size category of your normal size.

Upon manifesting this power, items you wear or carry at the time of transformation are designated for whether they are merged into your new form or dropped. You gain the physical properties of your new form (i.e. natural weapons, natural armor, movement, size, etc.), but nothing magical or psionic associated with that creature. You can even determine certain physical aspects of your new form- such as its hair and eye color- in accordance with what is possible for that creature. If used for disguising yourself, you gain a +10 bonus to Deception checks concerning your new form.

The standard hit points of your new form become your own for the duration. If the form’s hit points reach 0, you revert back to your own form at whatever hit points you had prior to manifesting this power. Any excess damage dealt to your transformation past 0 hit points is dealt to you upon reverting back. Any part of the body or piece of equipment that is separated from the whole reverts to its normal form. Similarly, you can take on the form of an inanimate object. Only taking on physical properties of a normal specimen of the transformation. As an inanimate object, you lose all mobility. You retain your normal senses and your ability to speak. You can manifest a power; however, doing so ends the duration of this power. If you take damage while in the form of an object, your actual body also takes damage.

Augment. For every 2 additional psi points spent, add 1 to the maximum CR of your transformation.

Psychic Blast

Telepathy 4

• Psi Cost: 4
• Manifesting Time: Action
• Range: Self (60-ft cone)
• Display: Auditory and Visual
• Duration: Instantaneous

You unleash devastating psychic energy in a 60-foot cone. Each creature in that area must make an Intelligence saving throw, taking 8d8 psychic damage on a failed save, or half as much on a success.

Augment. You deal an additional 1d8 psychic damage per additional psi point spent.

Remote Viewing

Clairsentience 4

• Psi Cost: 4
• Manifesting Time: 1 hour
• Range: See text
• Display: Mental
• Duration: 10 min., conc.

Remote Viewing (6 psi). You send your mind across space and dimensions, forming it into a quasi-real viewpoint from which you can see and hear some creature located at any distance from you, even if planar boundaries separate you. If the subject succeeds on a Wisdom saving throw, the remote viewing attempt fails, and you can’t attempt to view that creature again for at least 24 hours. The difficulty of the save depends on how well you know the subject and what sort of physical connection (if any) you have to that creature. Furthermore, if the subject is on another plane, it gets advantage on its Wisdom save.

If the subject fails its Wisdom saving throw, your mind coalesces a quasi-real viewpoint near enough to the subject to see and hear the subject and its immediate surroundings (up to 30 feet in all directions away from the subject). While the remote viewing lasts, your real body remains unmoving and unaware of your actual surroundings. On the other hand, your quasi-real viewpoint is treated in some ways as if it were an invisible ectoplasmic form of yourself, except as follows. This power is of the Scrying subdiscipline, but uses the following information in place of the standard scrying sensor. As a quasi-real viewpoint, you can speak (though your voice is whispery).

You may potentially be sensed by the subject of your viewing (subjects who can see or sense invisible or hidden creatures automatically sense you; otherwise you take the Hide action with a +10 bonus to escape detection if immobile, or a +5 bonus if moving). You could be attacked (although if you become subject to Dispel Psionics, the remote viewing simply ends). If the subject moves, you can attempt to follow it at a speed of 20 feet, though if it gets farther than 30 feet from you (or you move farther than 30 feet from it), the power ends.

You can attempt to manifest one power through your quasi-real viewpoint, but you must make a Concentration check (DC 10 + psi points spent) to succeed. Spending psi points to use a psionic power immediately ends the remote viewing.

Furthermore, all powers from your quasi-real viewpoint cost twice the usual number of psi points (you can’t exceed your psi limit). Psi points you spend as a quasi-real viewpoint are drained from your real body.

5th-level

Energy Current

Psychokinesis 5

• Psi Cost: 5
• Manifesting Time: Action
• Range: Self
• Display: Olfactory
• Duration: 8 hours

Energy Current (7 psi, 1 min./level, conc.). Upon manifesting this power, you choose acid, cold, fire, lightning, or thunder. As an action, your body’s psionically fueled bioenergetic currents produce an arc of energy of the chosen type that targets a creature you designate as the primary foe for every round when the power remains in effect. Energy also arcs off the primary foe to strike one additional foe that is initially within 15 feet of the primary foe, or that subsequently moves within 15 feet of the primary foe while the duration lasts. Secondary foes take half the damage that the primary foe takes in every round while the duration lasts.

Both the primary and secondary foes must make a saving throw on each of their turns for while this power is active, taking 9d6 points of damage on a failure, or half as much on a success.

The type of saving throw is determined by the damage type. Fire or lightning damage forces creatures to make Dexterity saving throws; acid, cold, or thunder means Constitution saving throws.

Should either the primary or secondary foe fall to less than 0 hit points (or should a target completely evade the effect with a special ability or power), the energy current’s arc randomly retargets another primary and/or secondary foe while the duration lasts. Targeted foes can move normally, possibly moving out of range of the effect, but each round they are targeted and remain in range they must make a saving throw to avoid taking full damage in that round.

Augment. For every additional psi point you spend, this power’s damage increases by 1d6. For every 4 additional psi points you spend, this power can affect an additional secondary target. Any additional secondary target cannot be more than 15 feet from another target of the power.

Energy Immunity

Hail of Crystals

Metacreativitiy 5

• Psi Cost: 5
• Manifesting Time: Action
• Range: 150 feet
• Display: Auditory and Visual
• Duration: Instantaneous

A tiny ectoplasmic crystal emanates from your outstretched hand and rapidly expands to a 2-foot-diameter ball of crystal as it speeds toward the location you designate. You can choose to aim this crystal at a single target or at a specific point in space (a grid intersection).

If you aim the crystal at a single target, you must make a ranged psionic attack to strike the target. Any creature or object struck by the ball of crystal takes 5d4 points of bludgeoning damage.

Whether the crystal hits its target, misses, or was aimed at a point in space, it bursts upon arrival at the location you designated. Creatures within 20 feet must attempt a Dexterity saving throw, taking 9d4 points of slashing damage from the thousands of crystal shards that spray forth, or half as much on a success.

Augment. For every additional psi point you spend, this power’s damage from the explosion of the crystal increases by 1d4 points.
