Fusion x2?

[Crazy Scot]

I was wondering what the general concensus was on the use of the Fusion power (Expanded Psionics Handbook) more than once at the same time. The Fusion power says that a single willing creature of your type and your size or smaller is absorbed into your body, and you basically gain the better benefits of the two. Would there be anything stopping you from having two of those active at one time? (thus having 3 creatures in one)

Now, I know there are several rules in the SRD about this, but I don't know if or how they would apply to this situation.

*But there are no bonuses applied, so I don't think this should apply to this situation*

Different Bonus Names
The bonuses or penalties from two different spells stack if the modifiers are of different types. A bonus that isn’t named stacks with any bonus.

Same Effect More than Once in Different Strengths
In cases when two or more identical spells are operating in the same area or on the same target, but at different strengths, only the best one applies.
*The idea of the power is that you gain the better of the two creatures' abilities anyway, so would this mean you could choose the better of the three?*

So how would you interpret this?

well i have seen the triple fusion trick in use on wizards char op board, and noone said anything there, so i assume there is nothing preventing you from doing it.

Cost (in power points), time, and durations are limitations.

Thanks for the thoughts. I know that the limitations of duration/power points/time will hurt, but I was just wondering if anyone had heard about a rule somethere saying it wasn't allowed. And from what you guys said, it seems that it would be allowed, if you had enough power points and didn't mind the short duration. I was just playing with an idea, and was hoping it would work. Thanks again.
