LIGHT AND DARKNESS MANTLE

MAGIC MANTLE

Granted Ability: You gain Use Magic Device as a class skill. If you purchased ranks in Use Magic Device or Use Psionic Device at the cross-class rate, you get additional ranks in Use Magic Device or Use Psionic Device as if it had always been a class skill for you. In addition, you always treat magic and psionics as identical. Therefore, powers such as dispel psionics work for both magic and psionics. Most campaigns already treat them in this manner, so this mantle is most useful in campaigns where they are considered different systems.

MENTAL POWER MANTLE

Granted Ability: For the purpose of determining bonus power points for the class that gives you this mantle, treat your Wisdom score as 2 points higher than its actual value.

NATURAL WORLD MANTLE

Granted Ability: You gain the wild empathy class feature (PH 35), except the result is determined by 1d20 + manifester level + your Cha modifier.

TIME MANTLE

Granted Ability: You gain a +2 bonus on initiative checks. In addition, once per day, you can expend your psionic focus as an immediate action to delay the onset of one damaging attack or effect. Instead of taking the damage immediately, as normal, you take it 1 round later. If, in the intervening turn, you gain some immunity that would have protected you from the damage, it does not protect you from the delayed damage. You are subject to the damage as if you had taken it when the blow or effect was struck.
