Since he has to pay for both empowered psionic rays (by the rules of the Linked power feat) let's say he spends 3 power points in each. Empower costs an extra of 2 power points, so he's spending the normal 1 power point to manifest energy ray; that makes a total of [(1d6+1)*1,5*2] total damage, or around 3d6+3 damage, and is very debatable that you only have to spend 2 foci and not 3. With split psionic ray. Linked power doen't work like Repeat or Twinned metamagic: you have to pay for both powers.Of he could have manifested energy ray normally and deal 6d6+6 damage and save two focuses (foci?). Or empowered energy ray and deal (4d6+4)*1,5 and deal, huh, 6d6+6 damage and spend only one focus. (And he's Overchanneling when doing all of this, so he's hurting himself for 1d8 damage)Linked power is problematic, but it's not because of this particular example. The problems come with manifesting times and the Metapower feat.</blockquote>
