Type: Metapsionic
Source: Complete Psionic
When using a power that allows you to choose a type of energy, you have a wider range of possible choices owing to your ability to mix energy with matter.
Prerequisite: Privileged Energy
Benefit: When you take this feat, you must choose the energy type you selected with your Privileged Energy feat. To use this feat, you must expend your psionic focus. Upon manifesting a damaging energy power that matches your choice of energy, you can access paraelemental energy to further enhance your energy power with ice (cold), magma (fire), ooze (electricity), or smoke (sonic). The paraelemenral power still possesses its underlying energy descriptor.
Targets damaged by paraelemental powers might be affected by the additional effects noted below. In the case of an energy power that requires a saving throw, targets are only subject to these additional effects on a failed save. A successful save against the energy power negates the paraelemental effect. In the case of an energy power that normally does not allow a saving throw (such as energy ray), a target of a paraelemenral power can attempt a Fortitude save at the power's DC to negate only the extra effect.
Ice: As cold energy, but also limits affected foes to a single move action or standard action (not both) for 1 round as they attempt to free themselves from ice. The power is considered to be in effect during this rime and can be dispelled normally.
Magma: As fire energy, but also deals an additional 2d6 points of fire damage on the round following the attack from lingering magma. The power is considered to be in effect during this time and can be dispelled normally.
Ooze: As electricity energy, but the target is also covered in goo and becomes entangled for 1 round, after which the goo evaporates. The power is considered to be in effect during this time and can be dispelled normally.
Smoke: As sonic, but targets that breathe spend the following round coughing, and so are limited to a single move action or standard action (nor both) for 1 round. The power is considered to be in effect during this time and can be dispelled normally.
Using this feat increases the power point cost of the power by 2. The power's total cost cannot exceed your manifester level.
Special: You can gain this feat multiple times. Each time you take this feat, choose another energy type (cold, electricity, fire, or sonic) that you have also selected with the Privileged Energy feat. You can now manifest that power with the matching paraelemental effect described above.
