I agree that Psionics should be a seperate field from magic, and should be
prioritized during generation. I also like the idea of buying disciplines as
skills and then using psi-points to buy individual abilities. This should allow
people to use a familiar set of rules with a conceptually foreign system.

Any thoughts about Psi-enhanced melee weapons? (like the warhammer 40k
force-sword, or a maybe a purley psychic energy blade?)

In ##&#, there is a metapsionic power that allows you to imbue psychic
energy into a weapon. It is a long, drawn-out, rutualistic ability that
requires you to be very high lever, but the reasoning is sound.

Perhaps an approach is a material like oriculum that acts somewhat as a
psychic capacitor. It's able to absorb excess psychic energy and then
release it in a burst when twiddled by a psionic. This is somewhat what
creates fetish-like items or weapons.
