This bonus increases by +1 for each additional ally beyond the first with the Swarmfighting feat that threatens the same target.

The psi-like abilities are as follows:
mending - 1/day, as the spell
make whole - 1/day, as the spell except casting time is 10 minutes instead of 1 standard action
fabricate - 1/week, casting time is 1 day per 10 cubic feet (or 1 cubic foot) of material to be affected by the spell instead of 1 round per 10 cubic feet (or 1 cubic foot) of material to be affected by the power.
Your manifester level for these effects is equal to the number of ranks you have in the craft skill minus 6. The save DC is Int based.
