Notes

I normally would not use or allow Reliable to be added to most Psi abilities, but it's thematically appropriate in this context, and thematically limited.

Evil Eye changes Curse from a touch-range attack, to one based on the user's line of sight.

Hilde would not have survived her empowerment, if not for Klaus's healing abilities. If her Will were lower, she's have more, and/or worse, mental problems.

Ghostdancer did a helpful chart for ally/familiar/dependent costs in his blog (scroll down a little).

Spirit Ally availability maximums (for one ally):

x4 (Constantly): 60%, 338
x3 (15 or less): 75%, 422
x2 (12 or less): 100%, 563
x1 (9 or less): 150%, 845
x.5 (6 or less): 200%, 1126

Thus, the more powerful a spirit is, the less likely it is to be available to help when you need it. I very likely wouldn't allow Constantly without enough backstory to justify it, though in the case of the Spirit Allies power, it just means that she doesn't have to roll to see if the spirit is available, or if the thoughtform will manifest. If you want to run a game without spirits, dropping Spirit Allies and Spirit Communication doesn't make Hilde much less playable, although it does remove one of the justifications for her Delusion.

GURPS Bio-Tech supplied the Nurse template (p207) that I used for her. Templates from GURPS Psis include EK: Energy Absorber, Illusionist; ESP: Ghost Sight, Past-Scanner, Psychic Tracker (modified); Probability Alteration: Doom Bringer, Rain Dancer; Psycic Healing: Empathic Bond (modified).
