Ok, so hear me out.
In MoF (magic not monsters) there's a list of gems that influence how magic acts when used in a wand. Things like slightly boosted damage, higher CL, that sort of thing.
What if we were to compile a list for disciplines?
Things like Diamond for Diamond Mind, Onyx for Black Seraph, Smoked Quartz for Shadow Hand, Tiger Eye for Tiger Claw, etc.
Admittedly, some of these are obvious. But what about ones like Cursed Razor, or Riven Hourglass, or White Raven?

My DM is trying to help me come up with an Initiator variant of Psiforged, and we're wondering what the replacement should be.
Any suggestions?

MoF? I'm not saying the idea doesn't have merit, but I need the original source to base stuff from.

This discussion probably ought be taken to homebrew:

Regarding the Martialforged: Maybe the ability to store an extra maneuver on their body as if their body was a martial script. The stored maneuver is useable once and then it vanishes, but they can then store another maneuver they see and understand (a martial lore check? 15+Maneuver level), or any maneuver they already know. They can only store and use 1 maneuver at a time.

The PoWEx disciplines are much harder.

That's actually a really cool idea, I'm gonna run it past him.
