[git] "This weapon will act as a psionic focus" does nothing

[0player]

From some definitions in talents/psionic (the one used to get gem level) is can be deduced that the intention was for psionic focus weapons to act as gems and weapons at the same time while TK wielded. However, nothing uses these definitions, so this attribute literally does nothing.

Ceased to be relevant to mindslayer talents as of 1.2 or whenever they got changed. I thought I saw the references to this already scrubbed from items in 1.3, but apparently you found some more of those useless bastards!

I think that's a cool thing to have, though... can it be reintroduced in some way?

[Stuntofthelitter]

Not like how it used to in any useful way that I can think of. Although I think some brainstorming could come up with something. Perhaps way to redo the focus whip that gave it a similarly unique flavor.

The feature wasn't working well so it was removed.
Well, the bonus for equipping a psionic focus was unbalancing item choices by making mindstars the only sensible option.
And since the effect was basically identical to having more mindpower, which equipping a mindstar already does, it was removed.

At the moment, making an item work as a psionic focus would mean that Beyond the Flesh would pull enemies instead of smacking them, which is not desirable.

I thought it is akin to making it work like a gem, not like a mindstar.

I assumed it would make the weapon use Wil/Cun instead of Str/Dex, like TK weapon typically does.

It wasn't clearly documented.
