Current wording is:
"If you’ve spent at least 2 Focus Points and spent Focus Points only to amp psi cantrips since the last time you Refocused, you regain 2 Focus Points when you Refocus. Otherwise, you regain 1 Focus Point."

I think the restriction to have only spent Focus Points exclusively to amp psi cantrips a bit much considering how much of the player base likes to mix and match player options like picking up another Focus Spell/ability.

I suggest changing it to:

"If you’ve spent at least 2 Focus Points to amp psi cantrips since the last time you Refocused, you regain 2 Focus Points when you Refocus. Otherwise, you regain 1 Focus Point."

This way the ability still encourages Focus points to be spent to amp psi cantrips, particularly spend 2 to regain 2 same as before but now if the Psychic picks up another Focus ability and gain a 3rd Focus point, they can still spend that 3rd Focus point towards a new Focus Spell/ability and 2 Focus points to amp psi cantrips in order qualify to regain 2 points when they Refocus.

Very slight softening of the restriction that should play the same in the normal case and is less restrictive to multiclassing and archetype options.


Also, it's a simpler wording, which is generally a good thing.
