Those few who don’t agree counter this claim with the fact that magic spells can negate psionic powers –and there are similar psionic powers that can negate magic spells-, so there must be clearly a connection that make both arts differents aspects of a unified whole, and psionics is just a different discipline of magic. Perhaps, as others point, the truth lies in between. Perhaps bodies and minds can act like very small elemental towers on their own, generating tiny amounts of energy shaped and manifested by the creature's will. This theory maintains  that all magical and psionic energy has an identical essence, but ultimately manifests shaped by their origin. It should be possible, they say, to transform the energy generated by one source to be identical to the power produced by another.Some psions that believe in this theory, have associated with mages or sometimes just by accident or dumb luck have developed a way to add some of the energy flowing from the elemental towers to his own. This gathers small amounts of magic, mental power of their own and physical energy to take small mounts of magical energy with which to reinforce the psion's mental reserves. This technique is fatiguing, and is inevitable that minute quantities of energy flow uncontrolled from the psion much like when he's manifesting a power, but nonetheless it can be invaluable to the practitioner of the mental arts if he’s allowed the time necessary to use the technique to the fullest.Requisites, : Manifester level 2Benefits version 1A : You must spend your psionic focus as a full round action that doesn't provoke attacks of opportunity to use this feat. If you do so, you gain 1 temporary power point (tpp from now) that lasts until the end of your next round. You cannot manifest a power using only tpps: if you use them you must spend at least as many non-temporary power points as tpps.You can’t use the temporary power point for any purpose other than manifesting a power; thus, you can't use it to fill a cognizance crystal, power a deep crystal weapon, and so forth. You can't also use these temporary power points to manifest the Bestow power power.Using this feat again within a period of 10 minutes since the last time you used it makes you become fatigued.
