Weaknesses:

DESCRIPTION
The pin was born from its owner, @Ra'a'mah Numare, requesting an item that could enhance the ability to detect stratagems, lies and intents to deceive, Janick proceeded to alchemize the cloak pin so that additional effects can be infused in them to this effect, providing enhancements to several Force-powers, such as Force-empathy and psychometry while worn, but does not do so to the point of bypassing people or objects possessing immunities to any or all of these powers. In addition, the proprietary process makes the pin lightsaber-resistant at the cost of additional weight, and also of increased detectability in the Force, with the usual weaknesses of alchemical objects: the alchemical properties can be neutralized by someone using Force-nullifiers or Force-light. Due to the diminutive size of the cloak pin, the added weight from the alchemical process does not significantly impede the wearer's mobility.

As for the enhancements themselves, it allows the user to use it at a higher level (e.g. a Knight-level psychometry practitioner can use it at master-level, and padawan-level users of either Force-power would be able to use at knight-level, while the pin is worn) at the cost of doubling the drain on the wearer's Force-energy reserves, until the power is no longer used or the Force-energy reserves of the user are drained dry. However, if the wearer is already a master of either psychometry or Force-empathy, it will only have the result that the power expenditure is doubled while these powers are in use without providing any boost to one's ability to use these powers.

• Please link the actual source website here, not just the link to the image.

Enhances several Force-powers: Force-empathy, telepathy, psychometry, mind trick, precognition

• That's too much, especially since the only Weaknesses are those inherent to alchemy.
• Pick two powers that you'd like to keep the most, and remove all references to the other three.

1. How significant is this enhancement effect?
2. Is the enhancement 'infinite' in duration, or does drawing on it expend a reserve that needs to be recharged (with meditation, etc.)?

 

[Janick Beauchamp]

[member="Netherworld"] Changes made: it allows someone to use the Force-powers at one skill level higher, but doubles the energy expenditure of the user while in use.

One skill level in what sense? If the wearer is a Knight, they can use the Force Power as a Master would?
What happens when the wearer is a Master?

 

[Janick Beauchamp]

[member="Netherworld"] Pretty much; however, if a character wearing the pin is a Master in a particular Force-power, the Force-energy expenditure will still be doubled, without providing any boost.

Alright, that works.

Approved, pending secondary.
