[DSP/3.5] Psychoactive Skin of Proteus question

[Dr_Dinosaur]

And a more general question about psionic items with passive effects based on powers.

The Skin of Proteus item says the wearer is affected by Metamorphosis at Manifester Level 7. Are the effects of this power chosen by the crafter, the wearer when first donnning it, the wearer every time they reactivate it, or changeable at-will by the wearer? And do psionic items work like Psi-Like Abilities where they're assumed to be augmented to match the listed ML?

You can choose your form every time you use it. It's giving you a spell-like ability, essentially.

Does that "essentially an SLA" come pre-augmented to the skin's manifester level?

It would, yes. They make you pay for augmentation via treating the power as being of a higher level, even, IIRC, in crafting it.
