You can create a drilbu, which is a long shaft of crystal that can manifest powers when charges are expended.
Prerequisite: Manifester level 5th+
Benefit: You can create a drilbu, which is an enhanced version of a dorje, of any psionic power of 9th-level and lower that you know (or can channel, if you're crystalsinger). The character needs a supply of raw materials, with the most obvious being the drilbu or pieces of the drilbu to be assembled. The crafter must pay 1/25 of the base price in XP and use up raw materials costing half of the base price. To get the final price, the results can be modified by up to 20% based on the number and types of powers placed together in the same drilbu. Drilbus are always fully charged (fifty charges) when created. The base cost is as follows:
Total levels of powers x 750 gp x manifester level = base cost
If desired, a power can be placed into the drilbu at half the normal cost and power limitations, but activating that particular power costs 2 charges from the drilbu. For example, the crafter decides to add plane shift, a 7th-level power, to her drilbu, and she decides to halve the cost. The plane shift now requires 2 charges to activate, but it counts only as 3.5 power levels (round down) for determining cost and power limitations. A single power can cost no more than 2 charges, and the manifester level for all powers must be the same.
A drilbu is limited to 18 total power levels and can hold up to six powers; all powers must come from the same discipline.
The crafter must know the powers to be placed into the drilbu or must have the channeling ability to use the power from another psion. If manifesting the power would reduce the crafter's XP total, she pays the cost (times fifty) upon beginning the drilbu in addition to the XP cost for making the drilbu itself. This additional XP cost is paid by the psion manifesting the power if the power is a channeled one. The powers to be placed in the drilbu must be manifested each day while creating the drilbu. This does not incur the additional XP cost; it just requires the expenditure of the power points.
Crafting a drilbu requires one day for each 1,000 gp value of the completed drilbu.
