Harrow Points
You can spend them at any point during the book to gain one of the following benefits:
1. Arcane Wrath: A PC with levels in a class that grants bonus spells based on their Intelligence score can spend a Harrow Point to increase the power of a spell from that class's spell list as they cast it. They increase the DC of that spell by 2 and gain both a +4 bonus on caster level checks to overcome spell resistance and a +2 bonus on any attack rolls for that spell.
2. Flash of Insight: A PC can spend a Harrow Point to attempt a check for a skill that requires training and in which they have no ranks. They gain a one-time +5 insight bonus on this check.

Additionally, there may be some other bonuses throughout the book. I’ll let you know as we reach those points.
Zellara's Harrow Deck
Hand-painted images decorate this Harrow deck, and the cards frames are gilded in silver so that they sparkle and flash under lighting. Despite the worn condition of the card backs, the images on the faces are so vibrant they seem to move when viewed out of the corner of the eye. The deck handles with surprising ease, almost shuffling itself. A bent, torn, or lost card always seems to mend itself or reappear when no one is looking. These features are subtle manifestations of the spirit that haunts the cards. In life, Zellara lived by this deck, and in death, she has become the deck.
Zellara can sense the world around the deck via sight and sound, and she can communicate with anyone who holds the deck via empathy. She can create a major image once per day, often doing so to generate an image of herself manipulating the cards - in this manner, she can carry on conversations with other creatures in Common or Varisian. She can also cast identify for anyone who holds one of the cards of the deck to his forehead (a move action) up to three times per day.
