Crystalline Focus Items

Unlike most items which grant new abilities or improve the wearer, crystalline focus items improve a psionically-created item such as a mind blade, mind armor, or an astral suit.

Crystal Bow

Aura faint psychokinesis; ML 3rd; Slot weapon; Price 11,200 gp (+1), 44,800 gp (+2), 100,800 gp (+3); Weight 2 lbs.

DESCRIPTION

A crystal bow looks like a crystalline bow with no string and comes in short, medium, and long varieties. A soulknife with the soulbolt archetype, or anyone else with the ability to manifest a mind bolt, channels their mind bolt through the crystal bow when summoning it. This does not otherwise alter the action needed to summon a mind bolt, the summoner must simply be wielding the crystal bow and choose to manifest the mind bolt through the bow. For those using their mind bolt in a long variety, the crystal bow need only be on the character’s body to channel the mind bolt through the crystal bow; he does not need to actually wield the bow.

Crystal bows have 45 hit points and a hardness of 15.

When a mind bolt is manifested in this fashion, the enhancement bonus and the maximum enhancement bonus of the mind bolt is increased by the enhancement bonus of the crystal bow, although any enhancement bonus above +5 is lost.

Crystal bows may only be made with a +1, +2, or +3 enhancement bonus.

DESCRIPTION
