The manifester
The manifester is a subclass of the spellcaster, functioning similarly as the divine spellcaster and the arcane spellcaster. A manifester can learn powers from any psionic class and/or discipline. Remove the spellcasting section of the spellcaster and replace it with the following table.

There are a few things that are implied by it working like the generic spellcaster that you may want to explicitly state. Does it have the same BAB, savs, bonus feats, skills(both skill points and class skills), and HD as the generic spellcaster? Can it choose powers from all power lists as the generic spellcaster can choose spells from all spell lists? I'm fairly sure the answer to these questions is yes, but some munchkin might claim that they get d12 HD, full BAB, 10+INT skill points, all class skills, a bonus feat every level, or some other such garbage.

Remove the spellcasting section of the spellcaster and replace it with the following table.

This pretty much states the changes between the normal spellcaster and the manifester.

And anyone worthy of the title DM would see what I meant here. even if you're a great storyteller, you need common sense and a grasp of the rules to be a good DM as well, if you haven't, become an author or something.

And this pretty much shows the powers a manifester can learn.
