[Psionic Powers] Do inanimate targets resist Malediction with HT or Will?

I can see how just reading the text leads to that. What about the new paragraph? That implies a separate concept, which is what suggests the application to the general rule. That could be an editorial misplacement, I suppose. Maybe we should just ask Rev the intent of those lines *lightbulb*
