Lilith Sinclair created this power to get more time in order to practice her many hobbies. She was annoyed it didn't work for that purpose.
This power functions as schism, except that rather than splitting your mind in two, you temporarily separate your mind and your body. You have two full sets of actions, one purely physical and one purely mental. Unlike with schism, you only count your manifester level as two levels lower than it is for manifesting powers during this effect. This has a different effect based on whether you're manifesting it from the Telepath list or the Egoist list.
Manifested from the Telepath list, your body is cut off from the conscious control of your mind becoming a mindless creature with three ranked predetermined directions (such as "stay 30' away from enemies," "run away at top speed if seriously wounded," or "turn the page every time the light flashes"). If no valid instruction is in play, your body takes a full defense action. You still control your mind and are able to take purely mental actions (including manifesting powers). Manifested in this manner, this is a (Telepathy) [Mind-Affecting] power.
Manifested from the Egoist list, your mind functions automatically while your body acts with your full focus. Your mind is given three ranked predetermined directions it follows without your control (such as "manifest an unaugmented crystal shard on an enemy whenever able," "apply a fully augmented vigor when temp hp is missing," or "look out for stealthed foes"). If no valid instruction is in play, your mind attempts to regain psionic focus. You still control your body and are able to take purely physical actions (such as attacking). Manifested in this manner, this is a (Psychometabolism) [Mind-Affecting] power.
When Mind-Body Separation ends for any reason, you are staggered for 1 round.
