Panoplies and Psionic Implements
The use of panoplies is rather complicated given the way psionic implements replicate certain magical implements. Hence, the most sensible option is to have the following types of psionic implements count as the corresponding types of magical implements for the purpose of panoplies, and vice versa. Similarly, any panoply effects that apply to spells and metamagic feats should also apply to powers and metapsionic feats (albeit at an increased cost of one point of mental focus)

Occultist Panoplies
Miracle Wright’s Toolbox
This panoply is associated with craftsmen and designers of enhanced equipment
Associated Implements: Hammer (Evocation or Psychokinesis), Toolbox (Conjuration or Metacreativity), Tongs (Psychometabolism or Transmutation)
Resonant Power: Each time the occultist invests mental focus into any of the associated implements, the panoply grants the following resonant power. The panoply bearer gains the benefits of this power until the occultist replenishes his focus.
- Mimic Capabilities: For every 2 points of mental focus invested in all of the associated implements, the occultist chooses one spell or power. He is treated as knowing and being able to cast this spell or manifest this power for the purpose of crafting items, using spell trigger items, using power trigger items, using spell completion items, and using power completion items.
Base Focus Power: All occultists who learn to use this panoply gain the following focus power
- Enhance Equipment: By expending mental focus, you may increase the save DCs of the abilities of any item you use (including those that would duplicate the effects of spells or powers). The save DC is increased by 1 for every point of mental focus expended. This cannot increase the DC past 10 + 1/2 occultist level + Intelligence modifier.
Focus Powers: In addition to the base focus power, occultists who learn to use this panoply can select the following focus powers when choosing powers gained from their focus powers class feature.
- Forge Knowledge: As a standard action, you can expend 3 points of mental focus to choose a single item creation feat you qualify for but do not know. You gain this item creation feat until the next time you refresh your mental focus.
- Internal Reserves: When casting a spell or manifesting a power from an item, you may expend 2 points of mental focus. If you do, the item or charge is not used up when it takes effect.
Metamagic Item: As a free action while casting a spell or manifesting a power from an item, you may expend 1 or more points of mental focus to apply a metamagic feat or metapsionic feat you know to that spell or power. The number of points of mental focus you must expend is equal to the increase in spell levels the metamagic feat would normally require or 1 + half the increase in power point cost the metapsionic feat would normally require (minimum 1)
