Using Psionic Items (WatW)

__TOC__
Empowered items are like magical items in that their abilities can be used by anyone. Even characters with no psionic ability at all can use them. Some items have trigger words which their possessor can use to initiate their powers. (Of course, the device may disagree with the user about whether the power is appropriate for the situation, but that's another issue.)
Psionic items have a PSP total and expend PSPs to initiate their powers. An empowered device begins with 8 PSPs per devotion and 12 per science. In addition, a device can be given extra PSPs if the creator knows the receptacle power. The psionicist can implant a number of extra PSPs equal to his 1st-level total by augmenting the device this way.
The empowered device regains PSPs as though it were resting, recovering 6 PSPs per hour under normal circumstances. If the item is damaged, it regains only 3 PSPs per hour. Items with powers that normally affect the psionicist only (such as teleport) extend these powers to their user if the user has the item on his person. Powers with a range of 0 or of touch must be originated by the touch of the item to its target or subject.
