Thus, a 3rd-level power modifi ed with the Empower Power feat could not be stored in a psionic tattoo, because the power would be equivalent to a 5th-level power for the purpose of limiting manifestation.(Xph, p41)
从for the purpose of limiting manifestation看，并没有在其他方面改变能级
然而，关于灵杖则专门有特殊规则
If an augmentable power is incorporated into a dorje at a higher manifester level than the minimum level required to manifest the power, each discharge of the power from the dorje is augmented to the limit of that higher manifester level. Alternatively, if you want to have a higher manifester level in the dorje, you must pay for the dorje as if the power was one level higher for each additional two manifester levels you want. For example, energy missile is a 2nd-level kineticist power with a minimum manifester level of 3rd. If you wanted to make a dorje of energy missile with a manifester level of 11th (eight higher than the minimum),
you would pay for the creation of the dorje as if energy missile was a 6th-level power.（Xph,p181）
所以增幅起来的灵杖是要按照提升了能级算钱的
