Power Division:
Here's a conservative break up of Psionics. New powers (which are adaptations of existing powers and spells) are marked with an asterisk. Any thoughts?
I left out "Far Hand" and "Missive" from the Psychokineticist and Telepath powers lists. I imagine these classes having inate Telekinesis and Telepathy as class abilities.

Force Bolt
Psychokinesis [Force]
Level: Psychokineticist 3
Display: Auditory
Manifesting Time: 1 standard action
Range: 120 ft.
Area: 120-ft. line
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: Fortitude half; see text
Power Resistance: Yes
Power Points: 5
You release a powerful wave of force that deals 5d6 points of damage to every creature or object within the area. The wave begins at your fingertips.
Augment: You can augment this power in one or more of the following ways.
1. For every additional power point you spend, this power’s damage increases by one die (d6).
2. If you spend 4 additional power points, a target that fails its save must make Will save (DC equal to the save DC of this power) or be stunned for one round.
3. If you spend 4 additional power points, a target that fails its save must make a Strength check (DC equal to the save DC of this power) or be pushed back 5 feet plus another 5 feet for every 5 points of damage it takes. If a wall or other solid object prevents the subject from being pushed back, the subject instead slams into the object taking 1d6 points of damage for each 5 feet it was prevented from moving.
In addition, for every 2 additional power points you spend to achieve any of these effects, this power’s save DC increases by 1.
Force Burst
Psychokinesis [Force]

1. For every additional power point you spend, this power’s damage increases by one die (d6).
2. If you spend 4 additional power points, a target that fails its save must make Will save (DC equal to the save DC of this power) or be stunned for one round.
3. If you spend 4 additional power points, a target that fails its save must make a Strength check (DC equal to the save DC of this power) or be pushed back 5 feet plus another 5 feet for every 5 points of damage it takes. If a wall or other solid object prevents the subject from being pushed back, the subject instead slams into the object taking 1d6 points of damage for each 5 feet it was prevented from moving.
In addition, for every 2 additional power points you spend to achieve any of these effects, this power’s save DC increases by 1.

If you spend 4 additional power points, a target that fails its save must make a Strength check (DC equal to the save DC of this power) or be pushed back 5 feet plus another 5 feet for every 5 points of damage it takes. If a wall or other solid object prevents the subject from being pushed back, the subject instead slams into the object taking 1d6 points of damage for each 5 feet it was prevented from moving.

Power Points: 3
You project a blast of force at a target, dealing it 2d6 points of damage. In addition, if a subject of up to one size category larger than you fails a Strength check (DC equal to the save DC of this power), the driving force of the blast pushes it back 5 feet plus another 5 feet for every 5 points of damage it takes. If a wall or other solid object prevents the subject from being pushed back, the subject instead slams into the object and takes an extra 2d6 points of damage from the impact (no save). The movement caused by force push does not provoke attacks of opportunity.
Augment: For every 2 additional power points you spend, this power’s damage increases by one die (d6) and its save DC increases by 1. The damage increase applies to both the initial blast and any damage from impact with an object.

Alternatively, the illusion can be of a sound alone.
Augment: For every 2 additional power points you spend, this power can affect an additional target. Any additional target cannot be more than 15 feet from another target of the power.
