Psionic: This weapon uses the wielder's Ego modifier for penetration bonus instead of Strength mod and attacks MA instead of AV. It will dissipate from the corporeal realm after some use.

psionic is an untinkerable mod that is found on the weapons of all dervishes.

• dervish of the Sightless Way
• high dervish of the Sightless Way
• arch dervish of the Sightless Way

The psionic mod changes a melee weapon's penetration to use the attacker's ego modifier instead of strength modifier, and those attacks use modified penetration calculations against the target's mental armor (MA) instead of the target's regular armor (AV). Attack-inflicted debuffs that would normally be applied against the target's AV, like cleave, will instead be applied against the target's MA.

Weapons with this modifier are temporary, and will dissolve from the physical realm after a pre-determined number of uses. When an item with this modification is created, it starts with a random number of swings from 126-500. After attacking with this weapon, regardless of whether the weapon hits or misses, the number of swings remaining will decrease by one.

Swings Left	Description
More than 375	substantial
Between 250 and 375	lambent
Between 125 and 250	tenuous
Less than or equal to 125	insubstantial

Once there are no more remaining swings, the item will disappear.
