LEGACY ITEM ABILITIES
All the following are legacy item abilities of Mau-Jehe. Knife Made Mind (Su): Beginning at 5th level, you can treat Mau-Jehe as a mind blade (see the sidebar). If you are a soulknife, the abilities of your mind blade stack with those of Mau-Jehe (except for enhancement bonuses), or you can use Mau-Jehe as a separate mind blade. In this latter case, the abilities of your mind blade and those of Mau-Jehe do not stack, since each weapon remains distinct from the other. When Mau-Jehe is used as a mind blade (or in combination with your soulknife mind blade), you take no nonproficiency penalty for wielding the sword. Sneaky Intentions (Su): At 5th level, you gain a +2 competence bonus on Hide and Move Silently checks.

MAU-JEHE AS A MIND BLADE
As a standard action, you can convert the physical MauJehe into a semisolid blade composed of psychic energy. The psychic version of Mau-Jehe is identical in all ways (except visually) to a short sword sized appropriately for you. Even if you are not proficient with short swords, you take no nonproficiency penalty for wielding Mau-Jehe in mind blade form. With the mind blade Mau-Jehe, you gain the usual benefits to your attack and damage rolls from a high Strength bonus. The mind-blade form of Mau-Jehe can be dismissed as a free action. While dismissed, the blade simply ceases to exist physically, suspended in psychic memory. Additionally, the moment you relinquish your grip on MauJehe, the sword dissipates into similar abeyance. You can rematerialize the Mau-Jehe mind blade as a move action or reconstitute the sword into its physical shape as a standard action.
You can use feats such as Combat Expertise and Weapon Finesse in conjunction with the mind blade version of Mau-Jehe just as if it were a normal short sword. Feats requiring a specific weapon choice, such as Weapon Specialization, can also be used with the psychic version of Mau-Jehe, so long as those feats are for the short sword. Powers or spells that temporarily upgrade weapons can be used on the Mau-Jehe mind blade. In places where psionic effects do not normally function (such as within a null psionics field), Mau-Jehe is automatically reconstituted as a physical weapon. If you are killed while wielding Mau-Jehe as a mind blade, the sword similarly reconstitutes as a physical weapon, regardless of whether it is present as a mind blade or in abeyance as a psychic memory. For more information about the soulknife class and the mind blade, see page 26 of the Expanded Psionics Handbook.
