To do so, he must maintain Psionic Focus and use a Standard Action, or else expend Psionic Focus in order to complete the conversion as a Free Action. |

| - | Upon reaching 4th level, a cerebremancer whose Core Practice is in a spellcasting class may choose to transfer some of his spellcasting to his psicrystal, if he has one. As a full round action, he may transfer any unused (and unprepared, if applicable) spell slot to the psicrystal. The spell to be cast with this slot must be chosen at the time of transfer, regardless of whether or not the cerebremancer casts magic spontaneously. Any number of spells may be transfered to psicrystal, but each time the cerebremancer does so, he must expend power points equal to the sum total of spell levels that the psicrystal is already holding (count any 0th level spells as halves, and round the final number up). | + | Upon reaching 4th level, a cerebremancer whose Core Practice is in a spellcasting class may choose to transfer some of his spellcasting to his psicrystal, if he has one.

Upon reaching 6th level, a cerebremancer whose Core Practice is in a manifesting class gains the ability to power his metapsionic feats with his spellcasting. When manifesting a power with metapsionics, he may eliminate the power point increase by using a spell slot of a level equal to one third the power point cost of using the metapsionic feat (rounding up). The cerebremancer may use a spell slot of one level higher in order to avoid expending his Psionic Focus. If another metapsionic feat is to be added to the spell, calculate the spell level as one third of the total power point increase, plus one for each time Psionic Focus is not expended when it otherwise would be. Only one spell may be expended in this fashion, and it must account for all of the power points used by the metapsionic feat(s). All power points above the cerebremancer's manifester level count double for the purposes of calculating the spell slot required. | Upon reaching 6th level, a cerebremancer whose Core Practice is in a manifesting class gains the ability to power his metapsionic feats with his spellcasting.
