Spell Cache (Su) - 1st Level
As the culmination of your early study of the fundamental forces of the galaxy, you have created a spell cache that allows you to store and access spells. Your spell cache could be a device such as a handheld computer or technological implant; an item such as a ring or staff; or a symbol such as a brand, tattoo, or other permanent modification to your body. While you don’t need your spell cache to cast your spells, once per day, you can activate your spell cache to cast any one spell you know and are capable of casting, even if you’ve expended all your spell slots for that spell’s level.

Level 2; Price 55
Capacity 20; Usage 1/hour
Hands 1; Bulk L
Description
Datapads are among the most common handheld computers and are ubiquitous in homes, manufacturing settings, and offices. Datapads require at least one hand to use. Nearly all datapads also incorporate a comm unit (which includes a microphone and speaker) along with several other functions, such as infosphere connectivity and data storage. Datapads can record simple audio and video (though not in high enough resolution to serve as proof of recorded events in most courts of law), store thousands of hours of recordings, play games, track time and set time-based alarms, act as word processors, and perform numerous other minor data processing and entertainment functions.
All datapads have light bulk, and most are tier 1 computers with the miniaturization upgrade. Tier 2 and higher datapads are generally used only by the wealthy elites or technological sophisticates due to the additional miniaturization technology involved, but they are more powerful than many stationary computers while still fitting comfortably in one hand. Datapads can have computer modules and countermeasures installed at the usual additional costs. For example, most datapads in military or industrial use have the hardened upgrade.
Saboteurs and spies frequently disguise eavesdropping devices or explosives as ordinary datapads, knowing that the datapads’ universal use means they won’t raise suspicion.

A personal comm unit also includes a calculator, a flashlight (increases the light level one step in a 15-foot cone), and several entertainment options (including games and access to any local infospheres). You can upgrade a personal comm unit to function as some other devices (such as full computers and scanners) by spending credits equal to 110% of the additional device’s price.

A medpatch allows you to attempt a Medicine check untrained with a +10 circumstance bonus, but only for the first aid, long-term stability, treat disease, and treat drugs or poison tasks.
Stix is not much of a fighter, so in combat he will try to avoid melee, preferring to use ranged attacks with his spells or small arms or thrown knife.

Background:
Gideon Stix was born on a starship and spent his formative early years far from the Elven homeworld of Castrovel. His parents were crew of an Elven starship chartered for exploring the vast beyond the Pact Worlds looking for potential worlds for exploitation
and trade as well as researching for information about the Gap and clues to who betrayed the elves during that forgotten time. His birth name was a typical multislyabic lyrical Elven set of names. When he became a forlorn elf early in his adult life, he choose the name Gideon Stix as a mark of his rejection of traditional Elven culture.
His mother did not intend to start a family on this starship voyage but once she realized she was pregnant, the ship was too far from the Pact Worlds to allow her to return to Castrovel to give birth in traditional fashion. Gideon spent many years on the startship and at the various places it explored, which taught him an early love of the natural universe. At ports, he interacted with the sentient races and enjoyed the diversity after the austere isolation of the Elven ship culture. His parents and the other elves on the ship tried to instill in him their own dislike of the non-elves of the vast, but it did not take. Gideon enjoyed meeting non-elves and learning about other cultures.
Eventually, the ship returned to Castrovel and he began to be taught the ways of the elves, but his early exposure to the rest of the vast left him yearning to know more than just the elven lineages and traditional literature and arts of his people. He began to resent the isolation that the other elves found so comforting. He also took a shine to technology and began his study of technomancy.
He gravitated strongly to the attitudes of the forlorn and when he came of age and could choose his course in life, he got on the next starship bound for Absalom Station and never looked back. He worked a variety of jobs and found it easy to ingratiate himself to Pact Worlders with disarming patter and a willingness to sample the pass times and vices of the station. He needed a steady income to support his love of travel and was just as loath to settle into a steady job and save up for his vacation time as he was to stay on Castrovel. So his life as a grifter began.
He found early on universities and trade schools good places to spend time as there were opportunities to earn scholarships and grants and living quarters were often spare but cheap. He used the time to learn useful skills, such as computer programming and engineering, while he practiced the subtle arts of lying, reading people's body language, and sleight of hand techniques, aided by magic that could fool people into parting with their credits. He developed various scams that he practiced away from campus, worked out places he could hide if his marks tried to locate him for their credits back, and developed connections with fixers, money laundering, loan sharks, and other criminals.
Once he had secured some funds, he invested his credits and began to live off the interest, gaining enough to travel and expand his options for grifting to other places in the Pact Worlds.
He got drawn into the Starfinders after the Drift Crisis began to limit his grifting options. He saw the Starfinders as a way he could travel on someone elses credstick and make some cash in the process. So he looked forward to his first mission while he continued to take advantage of the more obnoxious and easily fooled of the refugees flooding the station.
