Wielder Use

This wand can be used either by being on the person or in their hand. If the wand is in their hand they may activate it as a swift action instead of a standard. If it is not in their hand they may activate it as a standard. When cast it casts cure moderate wounds as CL 5 (2d8+5).

Communal Use

This spell may also be activated by anyone within 30 feet of the wielder. This takes their standard action, not the wielder's. The spell is then cast from the activator with a range of touch.

Mythic Use

When someone activates the wand be it the wielder or someone within 30ft they may spend Mythic Points to enhance the effects in two ways.

1 Mythic Point: The spell now heals 4d8+10 instead.

1 Mythic Point: The spell can now be activated as a swift action. If this power is activated by the wielder and the wand is held in his/her hand the casting becomes a free action.

They may activate any and all abilities as long as they spend the points needed.

Wand Charges

Unlike normal wands this wand does not have finite charges, instead it is regenerated through combat. For every enemy that is either killed or incapacitated within 100 feet of the wielder the wand gains a number of charges equal to the creature's CR. These charges are reset to 0 every 24 hours.

School: Conjuration, Evocation.

Operation Summary

1- If you holding this wand in your hand it is a swift not standard to activate.

2 - the wielder does not need to be holding it, anyone can use it as long as they are within 30 ft of the person with it.

3 - it feeds on battle more accurately, it is a wand of valour. As in the Valour in battle not soul sucking, that was just the assumption. It works on undead/constructs/oozes.

***Background***

Humble Beginnings

Nethan Ryon Akerman was born to a single mother, Karyn, and grew up on a farm in a rural community near Greengold in the Elven Kingdom of Kyonin. Farm life for a single mother and only child would normally be almost impossible, however everything seemed to be provided for them including a friendly neighbor, Darvan, who helped out around the farm. Nethan was introduced to farm work as soon as he was able and would help his mother and Darvan with various chores and projects around the farm. Eventually, the rural community built a school in the country so their kids could attend school without interrupting their chores or projects. The school teacher was a retired elven wizard named Talathel, and he took a liking to Nethan because of his brilliant mind. Unfortunately this made the other school children jealous of Nethan and since he was a nice skinny mother’s boy, he was bullied in school. This bullying set life changing moments in Nethan’s life.

The Orc and Goblin Rider Conflict

Darvan felt bad about 10 year old Nethan being bullied and knew a few things about wielding a sword and using armor which he passed down to Nethan when farm projects, chores, and school were completed. In addition to the martial training, Talathel saw the bullying as a distraction to Nethan’s intellectual growth and perhaps the ability to master the arcane arts. In order to quell the distraction, Talathel made Nethan his part-time apprentice. Originally, Talathel wanted to make Nethan a full time apprentice except he still had farm projects and chores around the farm along with martial training. In the next 7 years, Nethan excelled in magic and to Talathel’s great surprise, he learned how to combine martial, arcane, and meta arts into one fluid art which Nethan calls “The Enlightenment”. Nethan was now ready and just in time as an orc and goblin rider army begin raiding the countryside. Before a garrison from Greengold, and/or Iadara, and/or other cities, it was up to the rural community or militia to either repel or hold off the evil forces until the garrison(s) could arrive. The militia was not able to repel the Orc and Goblins but they sure did hold them off thanks to the contributions of Talathel and Nethan. Before the garrisons arrived, Nethan turned a goblin into ash using burning hands and then later saved his mom by placing himself between an Orc archer and her then launched a magic missile at the orc. Unfortunately the orc archer also released an arrow at the same time and they both hit each other, both collapsed to the ground.

The Revelation and Ascension

Lying in bed, Nethan woke up to find his mother, Darvan, and someone who he recognized from The Book of Magic except he was unmasked before him The stranger was a half uninjured and a half severely burnt man, radiating pure magic, wearing a gray robe, had white hair, and sky blue eyes. Nethan recognized this to be Nethys and he quickly sat up bed for it is a rare occurrence for a deity to visit a mortal, especially the god of magic before being eased back down by both Nethys and Karyn. Nethys began to speak, “Welcome back my son, you have accomplished a lot that you are not aware of! Since you are my son, you are more resilient than mortals once you learn how to take the pain. I apologize for not being a part of your life like normal mortal parents but I made sure you were well taken care. And Talathel no longer requires your apprenticeship for he was I and I was him. I am proud of you and your accomplishments thus far, however your destiny is incomplete and I require more from you which I will or one of my allies will give to you at a later date. I know you have a lot of questions for me but I can not answer them now.” ... Nethys turns to Karyn and Darvan, ” Sweet Karyn, you have been great to both Nethan and I, and I am sorry I could not be your husband. Since Nethan is old enough to fulfill his destiny, excluding the farm, all of our arrangements are nullified. I hope you can now find a life with Darvan as your husband and you two will be happy together before moving on to the next world.” ... Nethys takes Karyn’s hand for possibly the very last time kisses it and looks into her eyes, ”You will always have a place in my heart but we probably will not meet again. Goodbye sweet Karyn.” … In a blink of an eye and without a sound, Nethys was gone. On Nethan's dresser, lies a beautifully carved half black and white circlet with a black and white scarf wrapped around it. Nethan gets out of bed and places the circlet on his head and instantly knew what it was. Later, he would use the scarf as part of his adventuring outfit.

The Beginning and The End - Trials of the 1st Tier

The first tier trial was the beginning of Nethan’s ascension but the end of easily accomplished tier trials. The criteria for the first tier were;
1. A magical being or the son of a deity – Nethan is the son of Nethys and Karyn Akerman.
2. Nethan’s opposition schools could not include Abjuration, Evocation, Necromancy, and Transmutation for three of the schools correspond with Nethys’ holidays and necromancy represents the destructive side of Nethys.
3. Weave magic into something else which Nethan successfully accomplished by weaving arcane arts into meta arts.
4. The fourth accomplishment was the utter destruction of a living being and/or inanimate barrier. Nethan successfully accomplished this during The Orc and Goblin conflict by turning a goblin into ash with a burning hands spell. This accomplishment symbolizes Nethys desire to destroy Golarion.
5. The final accomplishment of the 1st Tier criteria came in the form of saving a person’s life while using magic. This symbolizes Nethys’s other desire to keep Golarion from being destroyed.

***Physical Description***

A combination of being in Tar Baphon's Demirealm, the Mythic Trials, and his steady mythical growth have steadily changed Nethan. Nethan's muscles have changed from bulky strength muscles to thinner cat like muscles. In addition, his clothing has changed to a Scarlett and Gold Robe. Instead of Black for destruction, Scarlett is the color of destruction and Gold is the color of magic and creation. Nethan no longer carries any type of weapon but carries a Conduit in his hand that currently has a high quality thick leather lanyard and it is attached to both the Conduit and Nethan. Lastly, Nethan's backpack and quiver are now join together on his back but he is no longer wearing the circlet and his crossbow seems to be missing.

***Personality***

Nethan, which he prefers to be called, is a tall, well-built, talkative, and studious man. Unlike his father, he is quite sane and more friendly. He attempts to be successful in his endeavors without intimidation. He only counter-intimidates those who first attempt to intimidate him.

Arcanomorph: A psychic mage blurs the line between powers and spells at 8th level. He can expend his psionic focus to remove a spell component requirement or focus requirement from a spell he casts. Material components costing more than 1 gp cannot be removed in this way. Additionally. he can choose to add both vocal and somatic components to a power he is manifesting to lower its power cost by 1 power point (to a minimum of 1). This ability cannot be used on 0 level powers. M6 - Can be taken after 6th level is obtained, see M6 rules.
Spell Synthesis (Su) At 10th level, a bokor may combine a spell with a sphere ability, using both with the same action. The combined effect uses the longest casting time of the two, and the bokor can make any decisions concerning the spells/talent independently of each other. Any target affected by both of the spells takes a –2 penalty on saves made against both the spell and sphere ability. The bokor also receives a +2 bonus on caster level checks made to overcome spell resistance with these two effects. A bokor may use this ability once per day. M6 - Can be taken after 6th level is obtained, see M6 rules.
