Augmented Enhancement List
Soulknives are an adaptive lot, and below is a list of mind blade enhancements that use an updated whitelist of
magical and psionic enhancements that can be chosen with the soulknife’s mind blade enhancement class feature.
Limited-Use Enhancements: Whenever a soulknife uses his Enhanced Mind Blade class feature (or equivalent
ability) to enchant his mind blade (or equivalent ability) with an enhancement with a limited number of uses, such
as is the case with the lucky enchantment, any uses the soulknife uses counts towards the daily limit and is not
refreshed whenever the soulknife reform’s the mind blade (or equivalent ability). The same should apply to other
enchantments acquired such as from the Personalized Trick trait, that may have limited uses such as per encounter,
etc. A soulknife with the Fluid Form bladeskill may still expend its psychic strike as a swift action to refresh these
limited use enhancements on the mind blade (or equivalent ability) within the limits of the blade skill.

You can still use your senses through the duplicate if you
manifest it like this, but cannot influence its actions once
triggered.
2. If you spend 2 additional power points, the duration
increases to 10 minutes/level.
