D&D 5E Aberrant Mind's Psionic Sorcery is officially the most powerful feature.

So what. You still can't go above 5th level to 9th.

The only psychic sorcery I find is the one in the UA. Is there another one you can quote?

Read Psionic Sorcery

From the UA:

Psionic Discovery.

You can unlock the ability to cast a mind-oriented sorcerer spell you don’t already know. After meditating for 10 minutes (which can be done during a rest), roll your Psionic Talent die, and choose a sorcerer spell of a level for which you have spell slots and that is in the school of divination or enchantment. You know the chosen spell for a number of hours equal to the number you rolled.

Choose a sorcerer spell of a level for which you have a spell slot. You cannot cast spells above that level.

Highest spell slot is 5th. But its 10 Sorcery Point.
It isnt normal casting, its Psionic Sorcery that spends Sorcery Points instead Spells slots.

"You can cast a Psionic spell spending spell slots as normally or by spending Sorcery Points equal spell's level."

Wrong, its Aberrant Mind. Not Psionic Sou.

So you are quoting a book that hasn't even come out yet?

Its from Tasha's. It was already revealed on YouTube.

"You can cast a Psionic spell spending spell slots as normally or by spending Sorcery Points equal spell's level."

Okay. So that says that you are limited to your normal spell slots, but can use points equal to the spell level and not use up the slot. It does not give you permission to cast spells way beyond your means. No wonder you think it's broken. You don't understand how it works.

Did you read It? There isnt any restriction about upcasting.
You always choose The level of The spell and The spell assumes that level. Its RAW. As expending spell slots you must have spell slot or now, enough Sorcery Point.

Is it your contention is that WotC intentionally wrote the psionic soul so that it can cast known spells with 9th level slots at, well, 7th level with a feat?

Here's the trick, you cast the spell, not the slot, with that ability. You can't upcast the spell with psionic soul ability because you're not creating slots, you're casting the spell. If I cast fireball, it's a 3rd level spell. Normally, I'd cast a third level spell in a third level slot, but Psionic soul gives you the option to do this with sorcery points. Now, normally, you can upcast the fireball by using a high level slot, but Psionic Soul doesn't offer you the ability to create higher level slots when you cast the spell -- it would say so. You cannot upcast spells using the psionic casting feature because it explicitly says you cast the spell and makes no mention of slots. So, the general rule applies.
