Psychopersonification: A 2nd level thoughtformer is capable of manifesting apart of her psyche as it own independent physical entity, it is an incredibly straining act and as long as it is manifested the thoughtformer may not use any of her psionic powers. While the psychopersonification is typically of humanoid it can look like anything, since it is mostly made of psychic energy it shape does not affect it ability to wield weapon or grant it any special abilities beyond what it already has. It take a 1 round action for the thoughtformer to call or dismiss her psychopersonification, doing so provoke an attack of opportunity. The psychopersonification can persist indefinitely, however if it slain it vanish and cannot be called for 24 hours.

A psychopersonification is not under the control of the thoughtformer herself but is in control of the player who play the thoughtformer. It existence is extraordinary, it does not vanish in anti-magic field nor can it be dispelled, however manifesting it is a supernatural ability. The psychopersonification carry any gears given to it, it will vanish with it and reappear with it when dismissed or manifested.
