Impetuous Regret (Su): Once per day, a gypsy with this augury that uses manifest destiny may admit that it was a mistake before she draws the card she named. She immediately stops drawing cards, returns all cards drawn via manifest destiny to her deck and must spend all of her remaining actions shuffling her deck. If she does not have a standard action remaining, she is dazed until the end of her next turn. A gypsy must have the manifest destiny augury before selecting this augury.

Conduit of Compassion (Su): A harbinger of hope gains the channel energy class feature. She can channel positive and negative energy, but she can only channel these energies to heal the living or the undead. She must discard a card from her hand depicting an abjuration or conjuration spell in order to channel energy, and the energy cures 1d6 points of damage per level of the spell discarded. A harbinger of hope may use this ability 3 times per day. This ability replaces fated draw.

Conduit of Mischief (Su): At the start of her day, a harbinger of deceit chooses one spell of the charm, compulsion, figment or glamer subschool in her deck. Once before the end of her day, she may treat any card depicting a spell of the same subschool as if it depicted the chosen spell. Creatures that would be targeted by this spell receive a Sense Motive check (DC 10 + your Bluff modifier) to ignore its effects. This ability replaces fated draw.

Arcane Torrent (Su): Add a single metamagic feat that modifies a spell to use a slot 1 level higher than normal to the list of feats made available by this ritual. Once chosen, this feat can never be changed.

Reciprocal Trance (Sp): If at least three subjects complete 2 hours of spiritual service, the ritualist gains 1 hero point that may also be spent by any creature that endeavored the service. This hero point is lost if not spent within 24 hours.

Cloistered Fangs
Creatures seldom view you as a threat and you have learned to capitalize on that misconception.
Prerequisites: Dex 13, Quick Draw, BAB equal to or less than your level -2.
Benefit: You gain a +2 circumstance bonus to attack and damage rolls made with light manufactured weapons against creatures that did not realize you were armed until the current turn. Additionally, the critical threat range of any attack that benefits from this feat is increased by 1. This effect is always additive (it is never increased to 2, even if your critical threat range is doubled). These bonuses last until the end of the turn in which a creature realizes you are armed.

Destructive Symbology (Ritual)
Barriers sown in Evil symbols enable you to damage creatures in affected 5-foot squares.
Prerequisite: Ritualist 5.
Benefit: After completing a ritual that binds an Evil deity by sowing salts in an Evil symbol, you can damage a creature in an affected 5-foot square within 30 feet by making a ranged touch attack as a standard action. Your touch deals 1 point of negative energy damage per ritualist level times the bonus provided by the symbol. For instance, the touch of a 7th level ritualist would deal 21 points of negative energy damage to a creature in an affected square of a hexagram (7 x 3 = 21). You can only use this ability on a creature in an active ritual’s area while its barrier remains sealed. This is a spell-like ability if it targets a creature in a spell-like ritual’s area and a supernatural ability if it targets a creature in a supernatural ritual’s area. You can use this ability a number of times per day equal to your Intelligence modifier, but no more than 3 times per ritual.

The Time Comes (Fated)
Your divinations hide their mysteries until you need them most.
Prerequisites: Wis 17, Profession (fortune teller, etc.) 5 ranks.
Benefit: Once per day, you may divine your own fortune through a mundane Profession check (fortune teller, etc.), enabling you to apply the result of that check in place of a single Knowledge check you would make before you divine your fortune again.

Furious Determination: Failure makes you angry; anger helps you focus. You gain a +2 trait bonus to concentration checks for 1 round after failing a concentration check.

Self-Affirming Superstition: Your belief in the occult is an integral piece of your identity and you would sooner die than abandon it. When a gypsy or oracle convincingly portends your future in the process of granting you a bonus to a d20 roll, you gain a +1 trait bonus to that roll.

EVANESCENT DYE
Aura moderate illusion; CL 7th
Slot -; Price 5,000 gp; Weight -
DESCRIPTION
Once you apply this red dye to an object, the dye disappears. You, however, see the object as if it were still dyed red. Enough dye is provided to coat 1 page, 1 card or 1 similarly sized object. Applying this dye to individual cards does not disturb the magic in a magical deck of cards. The color of evanescent dye is perfectly thorough and uniform - there is never variation between instances of the dye that could be used to tell two dyed objects apart.

Requirements Craft Wondrous Item, permanent image; Cost 2,500 gp

THURIBLE OF ISTHICA
Aura moderate enchantment; CL 6th
Slot -; Price 11,700 gp; Weight 30 lbs.
DESCRIPTION
The bronze that comprises this diagonally-frilled thurible is impossibly dense. While incense burns within, a ritualist that holds this thurible can forfeit one move action per turn to grant his thrall an extra move action. However, the thrall must spend the entirety of this action attempting to close a ritual’s barrier.

A subject that fails a Will save develops a strong empathic connection to a creature of your choice within range that they can see. Whenever the chosen creature suffers damage, the subject suffers half as much nonlethal damage (to a maximum of 2 points of nonlethal damage per caster level). The subject only suffers this damage if it can see the chosen creature while the chosen creature is being damaged. This effect ends if the subject or chosen creature move beyond the range of the spell.

The chosen creature does not receive a saving throw to negate this effect and may not apply spell resistance.

A subject cannot develop an empathic connection to themselves.

The subject believes it is the mother of one creature that it can see designated by you. It loses the ability to understand that creature’s verbal communication and treats them as a mother of its type would treat their infant (a drow might try to eat them, a troll might try to nurse them, etc.). This spell does not grant the subject any kind of magical insight into their newfound infant’s relationship with other creatures or otherwise affect the subject’s attitude toward other creatures.

This spell ends if the designated creature directs a violent action toward the subject.

You must determine how many rounds this spell will last prior to casting it.

If you manage to haggle with the subject in terms that include a given item throughout the entire duration of this spell (see below), the subject is compelled to buy or sell that item at a price that is 1% more favorable to you than their final offer for each round that you spent haggling. The subject believes that the enchanted offer is favorable toward them until this effect ends. This effect lasts for 1 minute.

This spell fails if the subject is unwilling to change their offer for at least 18 consecutive seconds or otherwise demonstrates that they are finished negotiating with you before the spell ends.

The somatic component of this spell can be disguised as vehement haggling gestures by increasing the duration of this spell by 1 round (this extra round does not contribute to the spell’s effect and may cause the spell’s duration to exceed 15 rounds and your caster level by 1 round).

This spell’s effect does not stack with itself or any magical effect that renders prices more favorable.

Creatures that see you by way of the enchanted light become enamored with you until they see you without the aid of the enchanted light. Creatures that are enamored with you cannot be hostile or unfriendly toward you and those that fail a Will save become friendly toward you. Creatures that could see you without the aid of the enchanted light are unaffected (this spell has no effect while you are also illuminated by an unenchanted light source). This is an emotion and mind-affecting effect.

This effect ends if you attack an enamored creature or if the enchanted light is extinguished before this spell ends.

This extract imparts one of several bonuses based on the component used to create it. For a complete list of viable components along with their effects and storage requirements, refer to Table: Culture Monster on page 32 of Dreadfox Games’ Grimoire Mutamateria.

• Dwarven beard: +2 Con, stability
  
• Elven ear: +2 Dex, elven immunities
  
• Gnomish nose: +2 Cha, gnome magic
  
• Halfling breath: +2 Cha, halfling luck
  
• Human heart: Component human’s most iconic feat
  
• Orc bone: +2 Str, ferocity
  
• Snake venom: Bite (2d4 plus poison), poison (Ex) bite-injury; save Fort DC 10 + 1/2 your HD + your Con modifier, frequency 1/round for 6 rounds, effect 1d2 Con, cure 1 save
  
• Zombie ashes: DR 5/slashing
  

The components of culture monster I are extremely rare and it is nearly impossible to find them among the stores of even the most well-stocked alchemists or apothecaries. However, demand tends to be nonexistent, which makes it very difficult to sell the components under normal circumstances.

This spell accomplishes 4 hours worth of crafting as if you were investing that time yourself. You must make any checks necessary to the creation process, applying your own ranks and modifiers to the results. Magician’s workshop can develop mundane or magical items so long as the means to craft the items are provided before you cast the spell. Multiple instances of this spell may be used to develop the same item simultaneously, provided that the workshop is capable of accommodating multiple craftsmen.

Magician’s workshop’s development does not apply toward the caster’s normal magic item creation limit of one item per day, nor does it apply toward the caster’s normal magic item creation limit of eight hours of work per day.

If this spell is extended, eight hours of work are accomplished.

The hilt of your weapon extends to slither down your arm and coil around your wrist before puncturing your skin with a pair of jagged fangs that deal 2d4 piercing damage. The weapon cannot be removed unless your arm is altogether severed. This makes it impossible to disarm the weapon, but you cannot use the hand for any purpose other than wielding the weapon. Each time you hit a living creature with the weapon and deal damage, 1 of its hit points is transferred to you (hit points in excess of your maximum are gained as temporary hit points that last for 1 hour). At the end of the spell, the weapon draws your blood before releasing your wrist, dealing 2d4 points of damage.

You charge your body with the polarity of a thunderbird. Spells you cast that have the electricity descriptor deal an additional +1d6 points of electricity damage the first time they deal electricity damage each round.

You may cast this spell as a free action when you assume an avian form. If you do so, you gain the ability to cast spells with the electricity descriptor in your avian form as if utilizing the feat Natural Spell and the effects of this spell last until the end of the triggering polymorph effect.

This spell ends if you gain the effects of another spell or ability that can be cast as a free action upon assuming certain forms.
