Does the Psychometrist Vigilante get Resonant Powers, and if yes, how does it work?

Psychometrist

So it doesn't explicitly state that their Mental Focus otherwise works like an Occultist's, but then the issue is how does it work, exactly, since it doesn't actually say how it works in terms of putting Mental Focus in your Implements, which leads me to believe they do gain Resonant Powers. However, that creates an issue also, because, rather than getting 1 Implement per school, they gain one per Focus Power. Do they gain an Implement for the Resonant Power? Does every Implement from the same school have the same Resonant Power?

Any help would be appreciated.

Implements and Focus Powers wrote:
At 2nd level, a psychometrist learns to use the powers of one implement school from the occultist class (Occult Adventures 47); the conjuration implement school is not available to a psychometrist. This implement school does not allow the psychometrist to cast any spells of that school of magic, though, and he can’t use spell-trigger or spell-completion magic items from any schools without succeeding at the appropriate Use Magic Device check. A psychometrist can’t select an implement school more than once. The psychometrist treats his vigilante level as his occultist level for purposes of determining how his implements’ focus powers work, and for determining at what level he may choose certain focus powers. Unlike an occultist, each of a psychometrist’s focus powers has its own associated implement or gadget. For example, a psychometrist might own a scabbard implement to use the legacy weapon focus power and an implement that is a pair of boots to use the sudden speed focus power. The psychometrist must assign mental focus separately to each implement each day, and he doesn’t gain resonant powers his implements. Otherwise, this ability acts like the occultist’s implements class feature. At 6th, 12th, and 18th levels, the psychometrist learns to use one additional implement school.

Easy to miss, as it is quite the wall of text. But you do not get any resonant powers.
