Soulknife
A woman clad in light leather stands alone before a troll,
seemingly unarmed. With a thought, a blade of glowing silver
wreathed in purple energy leaps to her hand from nowhere -
just in time to parry an incoming blow. The monster reels,
swinging again, and the woman lunges back, carving a hole in
the fabric of the world to make her escape. An instant later,
she re-appears in a final cut, and the crackling blade carves
through the neck of the beast.
An unarmed elf is confronted by a pair of orcs, who
advance menacingly. He grins, and dozens of wickedly-sharp
knives spiral around him, blades hovering in midair. Both
orcs scream as a pair of those jagged shards impale them and
discharge psionic power, burning their eyes out from within.
These are soulknives: powerful warriors who make use of a
unique weapon known as a Mindblade. Summoned by an act
of will, the Mindblade is a physical manifestation of a
soulknife's determination and aptitude in battle.
Master of the Mindblade
Each Mindblade is unique, as it reflects the soulknife who
manifests it. While they can take any form, most are clearly
otherworldly - many glow with sinister energies, shine with
radiant power, or seem to pull at the eye like a hole in the
world. Those that appear seemingly ordinary often react
strangely to things like heat, light, darkness, or freshly-shed
blood.
Mindblades come in multiple varieties, and each operates
in very different ways. Most come directly from the mind of
the wielder, but others are gifted or loaned, and may come at
a high price. The four outlined here include the Focused
Blade, which forms a more traditional melee weapon, the
Divine Instrument, which calls an exotic, god-gifted weapon,
and the Fractured Edge, which manifests as a floating swarm
of blades or a bow of assembled shards. Finally, the Ebon
Lurk acts as a fearsome thief of lives and faces; a deadly
assassin with supernatural psionic powers.

If they fail, and you are out of sight at the start of their turn,
they forget that they have seen you within the past minute. If
you were unknown to them before then, they are filled with a
strong sense of unease, and may decide that they were simply
imagining things.
If they were aware of you before then, they become
confused, and will attempt to search the area. If the target has
been attacked in the past minute, they have advantage on
their saving throw. If you attacked the target in the past
minute and damaged them, this ability does not function.
Finally, the first time each round you hit a surprised target
with your Shrouded Blade, the attack is automatically a
critical hit.

 Blade Precision
You can expend points of Psionic Prowess to re-roll missed
attacks, as your Mindblade warps and twists to strike at the
foe. After making an attack with your Mindblade that misses,

attack. Each attack cannot be re-rolled more than once.
Counterspell Cut
Prerequisite: 13th level

you can choose to expend an additional point to interrupt the
spell, causing it to be wasted. You must be at least 13th level
to select this Technique.
Defensive Focus
When attacked, you can choose to expend one point of

Dispelling Blade
