-----Description:-----
The first thing people will notice about Ayreth is that she is small. Then is her long, freely flowing black hair with a green streak. If her hair isn't covering half her face, next is her unsettling eyes; one is sea-green, the other is usually hidden, but midnight blue in color. Her figure is decidedly feminine and clothed in a long, wispy flowing dress of multiple hues. On her left thumb, she wears a silver ring and appears unarmed.

--------------------------------------------------------
-----Logos:-----
• Make It So(Su): Three times per day as a standard action, a logos can declare whether an attack will hit or miss. The logos chooses a creature that can hear him. If that creature makes an attack before the end of his next turn, the logos can choose to have that attack either hit or miss. A creature cannot be targeted by this ability more than once per day.
• Pathos of the Inanimate(Su): People can disagree with an argument, but inanimate objects have no power to resist a logos’ words. A logos can manipulate unattended objects within 30' by speech alone, causing furniture to move, trees to crack, doors to open or close, and even guns to fire on their own. A logos can move tiny things up to 30' as a free action, objects as large as a person as a swift action, and those filling up to a 10' square area as a move action. This cannot affect objects that have been given a name, since doing so imbues them with a fragment of willpower.

As a curse, only effects such as the Break Enchantment talent or spells like remove curse can remove a curse before its duration ends, and treat the black magician’s class level as her caster level for the purpose of removing one of her curses. The black magician may always dismiss her own curses as a free action.

• Tradition Secrets(Black Magic):
---Fortune Hex(Su): The witch can grant a creature within 30' a bit of good luck for 1 round. The target can call upon this good luck once per round, allowing him to reroll any ability check, attack roll, saving throw, or skill check, taking the better result.

• Casting(Wisdom): A spirit mender may combine spheres and talents to create magical effects.
• Spell Pool(11): A spirit mender gains a small reservoir of energy she can call on to create truly wondrous effects, called a spell pool.

• Attendant Spirits(Su): Small, invisible, intangible spirits live in a cloud around the spirit mender. They continually attend to her, removing stains and adjusting her possessions and clothes: a spirit mender’s clothing floats around her, and is strangely unaffected by wind or changes in gravity. Any common stain or residue left upon the body or clothing of the spirit mender disappears in a round, though more powerful chemicals (such as the tar from a tanglefoot bag) are too strong for the spirits to remove alone. The spirits are averse to the presence of metal. Although they will abide its presence in smaller amounts, they will actively work to remove any large metal encumbrances from the spirit mender’s body. Whenever the spirit mender is restrained or placed in contact with anything her attendant spirits dislike, she receives a circumstance bonus equal to half her level to Escape Artist checks against it, as her spirits actively try to release her. The spirit mender will always receive this bonus against non-living, non-magical entanglements, artificial chemicals and against metal bonds or grapples by metal or metal-wearing creatures.
• Bound Spirits(Su)(9): The spirit mender attracts more powerful nature spirits who do her bidding. She may possess a number of spirits at once equal to 3 + her casting ability modifier. These spirits replenish whenever the spirit mender rests to regain spell points. These spirits may be turned visible or invisible as a free action. A spirit mender gains a number of abilities, each of which uses up a spirit’s energy. When using a bound spirits ability, the expended spirit returns to the unbounded wilderness of the fey realm until it is re-summoned at a future date. Spirit powers generally require a standard action. To use an ability, the target must be adjacent to the spirit mender, or else the spirit mender must first direct the spirit to move into the target’s square.
---Aid the Living(+2): Expend a spirit to bolster a humanoid, animal, magical beast, or plant, granting it a +1 sacred bonus to attack rolls and saving throws, which increases by 1 for every 5 levels the spirit mender possesses. The creature also gains 1 temporary hit point per level. These bonuses last 1 hour.
---Lovelorn Spirit: Expend a spirit to aid an ally who is at negative hit points, but not dead. The ally becomes stable and gains temporary hit points equal to twice the spirit mender’s class level for 1 minute.
---Open Arms(3): Expend a spirit while using a Life ability to allow it to affect an additional number of allies in close range equal to half her spirit mender level, rounded up.
---Communing Spirit: Expend one spirit to attempt a single Knowledge check with an insight bonus equal to her spirit mender level + her casting ability modifier. This may be used to reroll a Knowledge check the spirit mender had previously failed, but no more than once per question. Also, If the spirit mender is touching a naturally occurring landmark such as a great tree, river, or stone formation, she may summon its natural spirit and speak with it, learning about whomever else has interacted or come near it in the past few days, and about any important events that occurred in proximity to it.
• Effortless Stride(Su): The spirit mender’s attendant spirits help carry and lift the spirit mender, allowing her to move normally through difficult terrain, and causing her to move naturally silently. The spirit mender takes no Stealth penalties for moving.

This bonus to AC applies even against touch attacks or when you are flat-footed. You lose these bonuses when you are immobilized or helpless, when you wear any armor, or when you carry a medium or heavy load. These bonuses do not stack with the AC bonus class feature of the monk or similar abilities.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
-----Sphere: Fate(2)-----

• Tug Fate(+12/-12): Any creature within the area who rolls a 10 on an attack roll, initiative roll, skill check, ability check, or saving throwreceives either a +10 luck bonus or a -10 penalty to their roll(your choice).

This does not require an action, but may only be used once per round.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
-----Sphere: Life(1)-----

• Bend Space: Bending space requires a standard action, and you must be touching the target or location to be affected.
• Extradimensional Storage(50 lbs.): Gain a permanent extradimensional space that may hold up to 10 pounds per caster level of non-living material. You can create a portal to this extradimensional space within arm’s reach at will.

Living things and attended objects cannot be placed in your extradimensional storage. If you die, all contents of your extradimensional space appear in your square or the nearest unoccupied space.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
-----Sphere: Weather(5)-----
• Control Weather(Max Severity:3): As a standard action, you may control all weather within Medium range, adjusting either the wind, temperature, or precipitation levels. If you are in a confined area such as inside a building, your control only extends to the edge of that space. This change in weather lasts as long as you concentrate, but you may always spend a spell point as a free action to allow this change to continue for 1 minute per caster level without concentration. When using control weather to change the weather’s severity, the change happens 1 level change per category per round until the desired severity is reached. When the effect ends, the severity of the altered weather categories returns to normal by 1 step per round. If you are maintaining the effect through concentration, the effect moves with you. If it is being maintained through a spell point, it remains stationary.
Storm Lord(x1): When you are using control weather to create Precipitation of severity level 4 or above in an area of Wind severity level 4 or above, you can control where the lightning bolts strike. You may take this talent a total of twice. If taken twice, you may increase the frequency of lightning strikes to 1 per round.
Clear Skies(mantle): Creatures bearing your mantle treat weather as one step less severe, plus one step per 10 caster levels. This and other mantle talents still work according to the true severity level. You may take this talent a second time at 5th caster level and a third time at 15th caster level. Each additional time you take it, creatures bearing your mantle treat weather as an additional one step less severe.
Mist Form(mantle): When a creature bearing your mantle is in an area of Precipitation of severity level 3 or higher, weapon attacks against them have a 10% miss chance, +10% per category above light rain/fog. This miss chance stacks with the miss chance from concealment in fog.

This works regardless of distance or any weather between them, as long they are on the same plane. This allows them to speak and hear each other even if one of them is in an area of magical silence, though it does not allow them to speak verbal components.
Greater Weather: When you use control weather, you may spend an extra spell point to affect 2 weather categories instead of 1, or two extra spell points to affect 3 weather categories instead of 2. You do not need to change these categories in the same way, or make them the same severity level (i.e., you may make one category more severe, while making another less severe).
Lengthened Weather: When you spend a spell point to allow your control weather effect to persist without concentration, you may cause the effect to persist for 1 hour per caster level instead of 1 minute per caster level.
