Control Light (Psionic)

==The Complete Psionics Handbook==
The psionicist can manipulate existing light with this devotion. He cannot create light from darkness, but he can create darkness from light. This power can accomplish the following, and anything else the DM allows:
* Deepen existing shadows, making them inky black. A thief hiding in this shadow gets a 20% bonus on his ability roll.
* Lighten existing shadows, reducing a thief's hiding ability by 20%.
* Brighten a light source until it hurts to look at it. This gives everyone exposed to the light a -2 penalty on attack rolls.
* Dim a light source so it resembles twilight. This does not affect anyone's attack rolls.
* Extend shadows into areas that are otherwise well lit. Only an existing shadow can be extended, but its size can be increased by 200% (i.e., its size can be tripled). *   Extend light into areas that are otherwise in shadow. Shadows can be reduced in size by 50%.
Power Score - The maintenance cost is reduced to 1 PSP per round.
20 - The effect is the opposite of what is desired, and maintenance fails.
