I'm still puzzled as to how d20 psionics with those crawling crystals, astral constructs and other junk can fit (without hammering sideways) into any setting, though. 
-The same way Nishruu (Lost Empires of Faer�n) and Ruby Golems (Monster Compendium: Monsters of Faer�n) fit.
Golems are made of everything and extraplanars are supposed to be weird, so... I don't see how one is linked to another, unless you mean old good "someone trows a fireball, so pogo stick cavalry in party hats is automatically okay too" joke.

That was the story about the malenti stealing sea elven magic on behalf of the drow, right? I always thought that was an artful way of explaining a rule irregularity. Elaine has a deft touch with things like that.
-It's interesting that no other authors really do that; I wonder why. Not condemning them or anything, but an observation.
Yup. She rather consistently introduces in-universe lore that should be there, if not necessarily have any sense at all. But then, same goes for other texts - bawdy songs and so on. Matter of style, perhaps. |

Also in the WotC Mind's Eye Archives are a few articles from the Legends of Sardior series. I remember psionic gem dragons, a couple of PrCs and the Demiiplane of Ectoplasm. May be something there you can use. |

Love is a lie. Only hate endures. Light is blinding. Only in darkness do we see clearly.
"Oh, you think darkness is your ally? You merely adopted the dark. I was born in it, molded by it. I didn't see the light until I was already a man, by then it was nothing to me but.. blinding. The shadows betray you because they belong to me." - Bane The Dark Knight Rises
