I was going to use something like this for an "inspired by Star Wars" game where various psionic characters could build a device that channeled one of their psi powers into a manifestation (sometimes a blade); force swords for the TK's, affliction (emotion) blades for empaths, lightning whips for EK's and such. I think that an equivalent for mages is a useful idea.
