Metamind's Font of Power. Psi-Like. Why?
Why is the metamind's font of power capstone a Psi-Like Ability?
Font of Power (Ps)
A 10th-level metamind can act as a living cognizance crystal, producing seemingly endless power points once per day, for up to 1 minute. His eyes shine like tiny stars, and faint illumination seems to beam out of his mouth and the end of each of his fingers. While so empowered, he can manifest any of his powers without drawing from his power point reserve. He finds the power points he needs welling up within his own body.
If a metamind using this ability enters a metaconcert, his power point reserve is accessed normally for the purpose of his contributing to the pool.
Also, as a (Ps) ability, I assume it's a standard action to perform, it can be dispelled, it provokes AoOs, and it can fizzle. But it has no manifester level, nor does it have an effective power level to set the Concentration DC to keep it from fizzling.

Re: Metamind's Font of Power. Psi-Like. Why?
Most likely so activating it provokes, as you theorized. I could see it distracting the psion briefly.
As for the power level, I agree it should be stated if they're going to make it a PLA. Note however that making it supernatural would have also made it a standard action by default, so no change there.Plague Doctor by Crimmy

Listen, the psionic ability types are idiosyncratic. ALL manifestation is Psi-Like, with no actual Psi for them to be like. I wouldn't sweat it. o.0
