Intuitive Combat and other psionic powers

Intuitive Combat.

Do any psionics powers stay active if actived before using Intuitive Combat?

What about Automatic Mind Block?

IF you are a Cyber-Knight and you use Intuitive Combat AFTER you created your Psi-Sword does that take away the Psi-Sword?

Likewise, Does creating the Psi-Sword undo the psionic power of Intuitive Combat; IF you are a Cyber-Knight?

Part of it came up with fighting an invisible opponent. So does "Intuitive Combat" help reduce the fighting blind penality?
Player asked, if they had used "See the Invisible" then "Intuitive Combat" and still have BOTH active.

This one is tricky.

An absolutely textual reading is that activating Intuitive Combat turns off any powers that are already active and forbids any more from being used.

Contextual reading of how the power was clearly intended to be used by e.g. cyber knights, it seems to be intended to allow powers already active to stay active, but prevent new ones from turning on.

Mind block, however, is explictly incompatible, auto or otherwise.

Intuitive Combat is the opening of the mind to the wider world.

Mind Block is the closing off of the mind to the wider world.

Under no circumstances whatsoever can both be activte at once. The activation of either one must inherently deacitvate the other by nature of it's function.

If you have Mind Block automatic defense, it is a GM's call as to if mind block auto defense's activation is mandatory (you must spend ISP and use it every time it is triggered), or optional (You can choose to not use it), as the text gives us no hints, and i've had reasonable GM's rule both ways on that.
