Or maybe that, while there are many similarities between magic and psionic functions, there are also some notable differences. This is just one of them.

However, you do point out a loophole: using the Chameleon Crafting feat, a character could conceivably make a dorje containing up to ninth-level spells (or higher, as none of the Dorje rules seem to specify any limit other than no more than five levels above the minimum for the power). The balancing factor is that this will cost 50% more XP. The user will also need the UPD skill, rather than UMD, to activate it, which will usually limit both the number of characters with the necessary skill (UPD is quite rare, except among psionic classes) or a usable level in that skill.
