I'm trying to understand the current ability, as a means to building a different ability. But it's not my goal to change the RaW. How things are doing in PsP seems like a possible guide to how the RaW actually work.

Your citation of Psionic Powers as supporting the view that you take time penalties when you afflict isn't helpful; I find the Exoteleport build in PsP hard to make sense of, which is why I'm asking all these questions. Your citation of other books is less so, as I don't know what pages you're looking at, and searching through an entire chapter is time consuming. Can you give specific references?
