I'm not sure you would truly need to limit the elements of hands/harm. Assuming I understand the idea of crystals, and assuming they relate to similiar things in FF effects. I think it would just eat up the power or life force just fine.
If you want ed to open it up in general. You could also run with the FF style "eat magic and life = magic" so you could have people pay with MP, Ability, or Permi HP loss (until sleep).
The ability usage per day cost would be abit hard to balance loss vs usage.
If you did "ability or mp only" and didn't touch the HP stuff. then you might consider a feat that gifts points per day for that stuff. SOrta like the MP feat. Since the weapons would be relatively specialty.
I like the idea of paying with magic, or life force the most. Its semi classic in theme, and anyone can use it. Though actually probably don't make it permi a day damage. There are MP potions and there HP potions... Just go with the HP/ MP usage.
it keeps it open for anyone and everyone. Admitidly it distances itself from the original psionic cocnept.. but it also is just so cool idea.
I would love to play my Alchem Bullet Chemist (siege gunner) with a Crystal rifle.
Yakno if I could play haha.
