I think that it is something like the system that the Psionics make use of also, right?

Look at this:

If Boredflak’s Intelligence were increased to 20 because of a fox’s cunning spell or a headband of intellect +4, he wouldn’t gain any additional bonus spell points, since those effects produce temporary changes, not permanent changes.

So, if a headband of Intellect does not affect spellcasting anymore (Just the DC, I presume), what kind of magic item grant more spell points?

(I think the answer can be found in Psionics, but I don´t play them and I don´t have the book)

The Spell Point System which was first unveiled in Unearthed Arcana has a table for bonus spell points based of your casting stat on page 154.

In not houseruled, a Pearl of Power or Ring of Wizardry would do it.
