What you gain: the psionic equivalent of the reserve feats since you'll have an array of at-will powers that simply won't go away.(Yes, its not the power-gamer's path.  Its just one way of using PC design to mitigate a potential pitfall if you're not the kind of player who can hold fire and do nothing when the situation is well in hand, in order to preserve PP for later encounters.)There are also other pathways, like Cerebremancer- the psi/arcane analog of the Mystic Theurge- or the Metamind (who gains free manifestations of low-level powers).</blockquote>
