With an impressive display of the mind, you call thousands of blades made of crystal/forces/pure psionic energy. The blades swirl around you as you move, following you and any mental command you make. The effect of the power is based upon which mode is used; as you manifest this power, you must choose one mode. As a free action once per round, you may switch your current mode with another.

Alpha Strike Mode: Less of a mode and more an attack, upon initiating this mode, the power ends as all the blades dive toward a creature of your choice within close range. The creature takes 7d4 piercing damage, and if it was standing by a wall or object, it becomes immobilized for 1 round as the blades pin it to the wall or object. The creature is entitled to a reflex save to negate any pinning, but not the damage.

Buddy Mode: The blade start harassing foes you threaten. Any creature you threaten must make a will save or be counted as flanked against all attacks this round, as the blades keep harassing and flanking them.

Hedgehog Mode: The blades swirl around you at high speed; any enemies entering your reach or starting its turn in your reach take 3d4 slashing damage. Enemies attacking you at range have a 20% miss chance.

Hookshot: You count as having a hookshot, as the daggers form the head and a rope of pure psionic energy.

Augment: For every additional power point you spend, this power’s damage increases by 1d4 points for Alpha Strike Mode. For each extra 2d4 points of damage, this power’s save DC increases by 1 and Hedgehog Mode's damage increase by 1d4 points.
