mind weapon (Su):
As a move-equivalent action the psychic soldier manifest a semi-solid weapon created from psychic energy. This weapon has the same form and stats as the weapon he has taken weapon focus with. At each even psychic soldier lvl the mind weapon gains a +1 enchancement bonus (ie +2 at 4th lvl, +5 at 10th lvl).
This weapons existance ends when he wills it, when he lets it go, is stunned, unconsious, dead. Even in area's where psionics do not normally function, the soldier can try to sustain the mind weapon by making a Fortitude save against the DC set by the creator of the effect. In such an area the psychic soldier must make the save each round.
Two or more mind weapons can exist at once but neather can be in the form of a crossbow - that shape is to complex to create. To make the mind weapon a mighty bow, each time the bow is created the psychic soldier must succeed with a craft (bowyer check) vs. 20.
alter weapon (Su):
By this time the psychic soldier has enough understanding of his mind weapon that he can manifest it in the form of a different weapon, and can change its form to that of a different weapon by spending a move equivelent action. In addition the weapon continues to exist for 1 rnd after the soldier lets it go, is stunned, unconsious, or killed.
skilled hands ():
When the psychic soldier uses his mind weapon in its primary form - the one he has taken weapon focus with, assume he has superior weapon focus with it. If the mind weapon is in a different form then the soldier is considered to be proficient with it. Manifesting the mind weapon or changing its form is now considered to be a free action.
psionic focus (Su):
The mind weapon now glows from the inside with lethal psionic energy. This energy does not harm the psychic soldier and causes the mind weapon to deal an extra +1d4 points of bonus damage on a successful hit. Bows, crossbows, and slings do not bestow this energy upon their ammunition, an arrow, bolt or bullet does cause this damage.
mind weapon (Su):
The mind weapon functions as a body feeder or mind feeder weapon in addition to its other abilities and powers. Once per round at the start of his turn and as a free action the psychic soldier can chose one of those abilities to be active, since only one can be used at a time.
