Bend the Grain Once per day as a standard action, you can shape or warp wooden objects. This functions as either wood shape or warp wood. At 11th level, you can use this ability to push wood away from you, as repel wood. At 7th level, and again at 14th level, you can use this ability an additional time per day.
Blackened Your hands and forearms are shriveled and blackened, as if you had plunged your arms into a blazing fire, and your thin, papery skin is sensitive to the touch. You take a –4 penalty on weapon attack rolls, but you add burning hands to your list of spells known.
Combined Spells - 1st, 2nd and 3rd A mystic theurge can prepare and cast spells from one of his spellcasting classes using the available slots from any of his other spellcasting classes. Spells prepared or cast in this way take up a slot one level higher than they originally occupied. This ability cannot be used to cast a spell at a lower level if that spell exists on both spell lists.
Familiar Tattoo A tattooed sorcerer gains a familiar as an arcane bond, as a wizard equal to her sorcerer level. Her sorcerer levels stack with any wizard or witch levels she possesses when determining the powers of her familiar—this ability does not allow her to have both a familiar and a bonded item. Unlike most familiars, her familiar can transform itself into a tattoo that she carries in her flesh. Transforming into a tattoo or back to normal familiar form is a move action for her familiar. In tattoo form, the familiar looks like a stylized version of itself, but does not count as a creature separate from the tattooed sorcerer. In tattoo form it continues to grant its special familiar ability (Core Rulebook 82), but otherwise has no abilities and can take no actions except to transform from tattoo into creature. A familiar tattoo cannot be erased or dispelled. This ability replaces her 1st-level bloodline power.
Fey Bloodline Arcana Whenever you cast a spell of the compulsion subschool, increase the spell’s DC by +2.
Legalistic The shackles of Hell impose savage consequences should you violate a covenant, but also imbue you with remarkable guile. Whenever you break your word (either purposefully or unintentionally), you become sickened for 24 hours or until you meet your obligation, whichever comes first. However, once per day, you can make a vow to yourself that grants a +4 morale bonus on any one roll you make while trying to fulfill a promise made to another individual. At 5th level, you gain a +3 competence bonus on Diplomacy, Intimidate, and Sense Motive checks while talking to an individual one-on-one. At 10th level, you can make a new saving throw each minute to resist mind-affecting effects as your subconscious searches for loopholes. At 15th level, any creature that violates its freely given word to you takes a penalty to AC, to spell resistance, and on saving throws against your attacks and abilities equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum 1) for 24 hours.
Misfortune At 1st level, as an immediate action, you can force a creature within 30 feet to reroll any one d20 roll that it has just made before the results of the roll are revealed. The creature must take the result of the reroll, even if it’s worse than the original roll. Once a creature has suffered from your misfortune, it cannot be the target of this revelation again for 1 day.
Woodland Stride At 3rd level, you can move through any sort of undergrowth (such as natural thorns, briars, overgrown areas, and similar terrain) at your normal speed and without taking damage or suffering any other impairment. Thorns, briars, and overgrown areas that have been magically manipulated to impede motion, however, still affect you.

Prince of Wolves Your experiences with the Sczarni of the Prince's Wolves have given you insight into dealing with werewolves and other lycanthropes and you are unphased by their bestial natures. Your receive a +2 bonus on Diplomacy and Intimidate checks against lycanthropes. Additionally the Intimidate DC for a lycanthrope to demoralize you is 2 higher than normal.

When you have used this boon, cross it off the Chronicle sheet.

You may call upon him for assistance in the future when seeking information within the city of Magnimar. Estani can provide one of the following benefits: a +2 bonus on a Diplomacy check to gather information, a +2 bonus on a Knowledge (geography, history local or nobility) check regarding Magnimar or the city's inhabitants, a +2 bonus on Knowledge (arcana, local or nobility) check regarding Thassilon, or a +2 bonys on a Linguistics check to translate the Thassilonian language.

Diverse Training(1st-Level, 1 Star) Kreighton Shaine’s ability to speak at length about virtually any topic is merely an extension of his years of scholarship and his limitless capacity for extemporaneous theory-crafting. You have a talent for distinguishing his facts from his hypotheses, granting you a rudimentary understanding of countless skills. Once per scenario, you may attempt a skill check as if you were trained in that skill. Your bonus on the check is equal to three plus your number of GM stars and is modified by no other modifiers (including armor check penalty, ability modifiers, etc.).
Oft-Lectured(3rd-level, 2 Stars) The Master of Scrolls is known for his rambling, esoteric talks that favor the elf’s train-of-thought speech patterns.

Having banded together with a few like-minded individuals you have formed an informal coalition that embraces the true spirit of the Shadow Lodge as you have always understood it. You gain a 20% discount on all spellcasting services (round up the final price) you purchase in their entirety to heal a fellow Pathfinder or restore a Pathfinder to life. If you instead contribute gold to assist a fellow Pathfinder in purchasing such a spellcasting service, treat your contribution as though it were 20% greater.

Explore, Report, Cooperate You have an excellent sense of what makes an exemplary Pathfinder. As a free or immediate action you may consider whether a particular action you name - such as subduing but not killing an enemy, befriending an NPC, or recovering a particular item - would help realize the goals of the Pathfinder Society. The GM then informs you whether the action's impact would be positive (contributes to meeting a secondary success condition for the scenario), negative (oppose the secondary success condition) or negligible (neither contributes nor opposes the secondary success condition). If none of these three options accurately reflects the action's impact on the PC's fulfilment of the secondary success condition the GM may respond with a phrase of five words or less. Once you have used this boon, cross it off your Chronicle sheet.

Update this

Bero's early childhood was as fairly normal for someone brought up in a Varisian caravan. At the age of four, his mother died and his younger sister was born. His father carried out as best as he could and eventually the family recovered. At the age of seven the caravan came across a party of adventure's under attack by goblins who then turned on the caravan. During the fight, a goblin attacked bero, but was stopped by one of the adventures. The goblins turned on the elf, and although she fought bravely, she was soon overcome and one of the Goblins went in for the killing blow. It was at this point Bero cast his first cantrip, stopping the goblin and saving the elf.

Yolandlara took the close call as a sign to give up and join the caravan and eventually married Melshanto, Bero's father. Meanwhile Bero tried to learn all he could about magic and further his study. Inspired by tales of the past he used tattoos to try and focus and enhance his spell casting. However it was slow going trying to learn magic on his own, until he met Asmodia.

Asmodia was a traveller, who had left Cheliax to learn what she could about magic and was exploring the ruins in Varisia. She was intrigued by Bero's talents and decided to teach Bero how to further improve his own magical skills, and the teachings of Nethys. For reasons unknown to Bero Asmodia left as suddenly as she appears. Taking a leaf from Asmodia's book, he decided that exploring the past would help and set of to join the Pathfinders to do just that.

Since joining the Pathfinder's Society, Bero has often found him self on the same mission as Kal, a Paladin of Ragathiel who keeps and eye on Bero in more ways than one. Bero has been praying, and rather arrogantly expected, to receive the gift of divine magic from the uncaring yet all-Seeing Eye however he has instead awakened a more natural source of magic which he believes comes from a similar source as the sorcery awakened in his youth. Still the fact that the paladin brings with it the attention of the General of Vengeance, the burns that won't heal from when his powers awakened and the feeling in his stomach when he lies, he is starting to worry that the powers may have a much more troublesome source.
