Psionics Question - Mindcrusher enchantment

First Post
This is the description of the Mindcrusher enchantment from the SRD:

Mindcrusher: Any psionic creature struck in combat by a mindcrusher weapon loses a number of power points equal to half the amount of hit point damage the weapon deals (only the base damage of the weapon contributes to the power point loss; additional damage from high Strength or other sources does not cause additional power point loss). A psionic creature that is out of power points (or has none) must succeed on a DC 17 Will save or take 1d2 points of Wisdom damage.
Strong psychometabolism; ML 12th; Craft Psionic Arms and Armor, psychic vampire; Price +2 bonus.

Now, when it says "only the base damage of the weapon," does this include the enhancement value of the weapon?

So, for example, a +2 Mindcrusher warhammer would cause cause a psionic creature struck in combat to lose 1d8+2 power points?

I'm pretty sure that base damage means only the damage die dealt by the weapon, so enhancement bonus does not count.

Though if you're looking for a way to up the base damage powers and spells that increase size (expansion/enlarge person) should do the trick.
