The Psimage
Magic is a very powerful thing. Those that master it can rip the world in half with a thought. Psionics, a thing that the greatest villains in all the multiverse practice, is a very different thing from magic. Weaker some say, others say horribly powerful and a blight upon the world. Wizards and psions, despite the similarities of their disciplines, have not been known to get along. Wizards, in their Ivory Towers, scoff at the psions lack of power and psions, deep within the parts of the mind unknown to most, scoff at the wizards lack of power, even though both groups tend to be as powerful (or wizards more powerful) as each other. Suffice to say, when they do meet each other, they tend to kill each other, or at least try and leave each other presence quickly as possible. That is how things are between the two until the psimage comes along. Mastering both disciplines, both groups have a distaste for such beings. Both think they stupid for mastering the other, as each group sees the other as weaker. When all three groups meet, it is generally the psimage that comes out alive, as their spells can feed their powers and vice versa. One would be stupid to trifle with a prepared psimage, it would cost you your life.

I made this class while waiting for midnight New Years day, so a few mistakes due to tiredness are to be expect the entire class being more powerful than the wizard because of some tired induced lack of thinking. This class was made to test out the level one mechanic, and I just kind of extrapolated from there. Please post any critiques, comments or suggestions.

Class Features
Magic To Mind: A psimage can turn any spell slot that hasn't been used for the day into power points by using this chart.
Spell Slot Level| Power Points
1st|1
2nd|3
3rd|5
4th|7
5th|9
6th|11
7th|13
8th|15
9th|17
Mind To Magic: When preparing your spells you may turn power points into an extra spell slot using the chart above.
Bonus Feats: At every even level, a psimage gains a bonus feat. At each such opportunity, she can choose a metamagic feat, an item creation feat, Spell Mastery, psionic feat, a metapsionic feat, or a psionic item creation feat. The psimage must still meet all prerequisites for a bonus feat, including caster level minimums.
These bonus feats are in addition to the feat that a character of any class gets from advancing levels. The psimage is not limited to these categories when choosing feats at that time.
