Some
psionic items, particularly
weapons, have an intelligence all their own. Only permanent
psionic items (as opposed to those that are single-use items, those that have charges, or those that store
power points) can be intelligent. (This means that
psionic tattoos,
power stones, and
dorjes, among other items, are never intelligent.) In general, less than 1% of psionic items have intelligence.
Some
psionic items are cursed-incorrectly made, or corrupted by outside forces.
Cursed items might be particularly dangerous to the user, or they might be normal items with a minor f law, an inconvenient requirement, or an unpredictable nature. Randomly generated items are cursed 5% of the time.
