Potent Magic (Su) Whenever the arcanist expends 1 point from her arcane reservoir to increase the caster level of a spell, the caster level increases by 2 instead of 1. Whenever she expends 1 point from her arcane reservoir to increase the spell’s DC, it increases by 2 instead of 1.

Close Ally Whenever you are adjacent to your close ally, you gain a +1 trait bonus on all saving throws. Once per adventure as an immediate action, you may grant your close ally a bonus equal to the result of 1d6 to a single d20 roll. You must have line of sight to your ally to use this ability. You may choose to grant this bonus after your ally has rolled, but must do so before the result of the roll is known.

Powerful Change (Su) At 3rd level, the brown-fur transmuter learns to harness the power of her magic to empower her transmutations. Whenever the brown-fur transmuter casts a transmutation spell using one of her arcanist spell slots, she can expend 1 point from her arcane reservoir as a free action to bolster the spell. If the spell grants a bonus to an ability score, the bonus then increases by 2. If it grants a bonus to more than one ability score, only one of the ability scores gains this bonus. The brown-fur transmuter cannot expend more than 1 point from her arcane reservoir in this way.

Dimensional Slide (Su) The arcanist can expend 1 point from her arcane reservoir to create a dimensional crack that she can step through to reach another location. This ability is used as part of a move action or withdraw action, allowing her to move up to 10 feet per arcanist level to any location she can see. This counts as 5 feet of movement. She can only use this ability once per round. She does not provoke attacks of opportunity when moving in this way, but any other movement she attempts as part of her move action provokes as normal.

Disruptive Bloodrage (Su) At 1st level, the DC to cast spells defensively increases by 2 for enemies within your threatened area. This increase stacks with that granted by the Disruptive feat.

Contact Specialist (Ex) (Improved Trip) At 1st level, a blood conduit selects a bonus feat from the following: Improved Bull Rush, Improved Grapple, Improved Reposition, Improved Trip, and Improved Unarmed Strike. He does not need to meet the prerequisites to take this feat. He also adds those feats to his list of bloodline feats. This ability replaces fast movement and alters bloodline feats.

Diverse Training (Ex) An eldritch knight adds his level to any levels of fighter he might have for the purpose of meeting the prerequisites for feats (if he has no fighter levels, treat his eldritch knight levels as levels of fighter). He also adds his level to any levels in an arcane spellcasting class for the purpose of meeting the prerequisites for feats.

====================================================================

Eugeni Silva's father, Viorec Silva, lost his brother in the initial attack by the Mercantile League on Sandpoint long ago. It left him bitter and full of rage. He led his young wife, Maria, away from Sandpoint and fell in with a clan of Sczarni. They wandered up and down the Lost Cost living the life of rogue Varisians. Eventually Maria became pregnant and in 4692 AR Eugeni was born. When Viorec saw that his son was covered in fur he wanted to abandon the baby. Maria begged him not to kill her son. Unwilling to potentially lose his wife, who he still loved at the time, Viorec consented to keep the baby. But only with the agreement that Eugeni would never leave their wagon.

The first two years of his life were probably the most pleasant of Eugeni's childhood. He spent each day with his mother in their house wagon, enjoying the love of her tender care. Eventually he became a rambunctious toddler, and keeping him pent up became impossible. One day he discovered how to open the door to the wagon, and toddled out into the middle of camp during dinner time. Viorec's family had already become well ostracized from the rest of the caravan since Eugeni was born, and upon sighting the furry beast they called a son, the rest of the group treated them even more like pitiable freaks. Viorec had turned more and more to hard drink as a balm for his pride since Eugeni was born. That night, in a drunken rage, Viorec beat Eugeni savagely for daring to leave the wagon. He threw the young boy in with the troupe's vicious guard dogs, saying that since he looked like a dog, he could live like one too.

When he was still young Maria snuck Eugeni from the camp, and that was the last time the arch-mage to be saw his biological mother. Viorec was enraged when he found out that Maria had given away ‘his son’, even though the only thing that Viorec had ever shown Eugeni was cruelty. He blamed Maria for Eugeni’s existence, and for ruining his life in general by being a ‘beast-blooded whore, when all he wanted was a wife’. As revenge for Maria daring to challenge his control, Viorec hatched a wicked plan.

The next time the sczarni clan made their way up to Riddleport to fence their most recently stolen goods and enjoy the proceeds of their crimes, Viorec made contact with a gang of werebats that his clan had dealt with in the past. The werebats were slavers, who took their prey from the villages up and down the Velashu River, and then sold the unfortunate chattel in Riddleport. Viorec sold Maria to the werebats, telling her she would get what she deserved with the beast men.

As a middle aged woman of above average attractiveness, the River Bats decided to put Maria in one of their Riddleport brothels to earn her keep. Years went by, Maria quietly suffering her fate. Eventually she became the favorite of the pimp, Alexksi. In 4711 AR, they had an intersex child, who Alexksi tried to kill by exposing the infant on the river bank. Unfortunately for Aleksi, Shalelu Andosana saw him leave the babe. Shalelu rescued the infant, and left it with one of her local contacts in the Rangers. After the Heroes of the Sihedron saved Varisia from certain doom more than once, Eugeni Silva took the time to expand the lower powered ranks of the Rangers into a general vigilante force for good in the region. Once the infant was secure with her other children, Shalelu and her group tracked Aleksi back to the brothel. They slaughtered the werebats, freeing the enslaved prostitutes. Maria Silva would never know freedom. Aleksi slit Maria’s throat with his final breath as Shalelu’s arrows pinned him to the wall.

Shalelu never realized that Maria was the forgotten mother of the great Eugeni. She never realized that the strange bloodmarked infant she’d just inadvertently adopted was half-sister to a Hero of the Sihedron. But that didn’t matter, with Croquelle in her pack, what was another little one? She named the infant Aurealia (au-Rel-ia) and decided to raise it as a girl. Shalelu moved Aurealia back to her home in Roderick’s Cove, where she was raised alongside Croquelle. Eventually, once her intelligence and curiosity about the arcane became apparent, she was sent to Sandpoint to apprentice at the Heroes of the Sihedron academy and to join Jaya and Kallie in trying to learn what she could from her unknown-to-either-of-them big brother Eugeni.
