By manifesting this power, you generate psychic static, interfering with
the ability of other
psionic characters to manifest their powers or use psi-like abilities (you are not affected by your own
catapsi manifestation). All
psionic activity within the
area requires 4 more
power points to manifest than normal, unless a character makes a Will save each time he attempts to manifest a power. Using a psi-like ability becomes a
full-round action, instead of a
standard action, in a
catapsi field. If two or more fields of
catapsi overlap, the effects are not cumulative.
The limit on the number of
power points a subject can spend on a power remains in effect; thus, a subject may not be able to manifest its highest-
level powers. If manifesting a power would cause the manifester to exceed his available
power points or his spending limits, the manifestation fails automatically, but no
power points are expended.
