I did think about it and I reached the conclusion that it's a bad joke, contrary to everything psionics stands for.Think about it from a player's perspective, not a "could make sense in a way" one: who wants to play psionic characters? Exactly someone who wants the character to rely on the mind and not on material things."Psionic focus" was always considered a state of mind and not an object first of all due to freaking linguistics (this thing of calling an object a "focus" is an aberration of the game), and then due to the above: a psionic character is meant to be enjoyed by people who don't enjoy being dependent on objects, formulas, gestures, or anything related to magic.This is why it's so insulting to me that first of all they try to do a Psionicist Wizard, and then they also make an object its main source of power, other than making the character do what a psionic one should do by default only by transforming into an incorporeal form at sixth level, and rigourously again showing this trinket as being central to this power. It's pathetically nonsensical.</blockquote>
