[QUOTE="Patryn of Elvenshae, post: 2800678, member: 23094"] 1) There's no limit to the amount of energy stored. The amount of energy you store from any particular attack is equal to the amount deflected by the energy resistance granted to you by the power. The target takes damage equal to MIN(Stored Energy, Manifester Level * 3), and your "reserves" are reduced by a similar amount. You may continue to fire blasts, one per round, so long as you have a charge built up or until the duration of the power ends. 2) It doesn't, as written. You aren't manifesting the rays that come from the power, you merely manifested the power. I don't see a huge problem in allowing you to expend your focus and split the ray from the power, however. 3) It doesn't. See the discussion below on Energy Ray and Chain Power. 4) There's nothing in the RAW that say how to handle this, so I'd rule it as permanently "passing through," and you'd get hit with 2d6+ML damage each round. 5) Chain Power doesn't interact with Energy Ray (or most other rays, for that matter). It affects psionic powers with a target entry. Energy Ray doesn't have a target entry, it has an effect entry. So, you're thinking of manifesting the wall, sticking your arm into it, and blasting people with the stored energy, eh? [/QUOTE]
