Trickster Phantom: The phantom gains the sneak attack rogue class feature as a rogue of a level equal to the phantom’s Hit Dice. It can use the sneak attack ability a number of times per day equal to its Dexterity modifier (minimum 1). At 12th level, whenever the phantom is in darkness or dim light, it can move at full speed without taking a penalty on Stealth checks.

Eye of Avarice: The phantom adds half its number of Hit Dice (minimum 1) as a bonus on its Appraise checks. While it is confined to the spiritualist’s consciousness, when the spiritualist attempts to identify the properties of a magic item using detect magic, the phantom grants the spiritualist this bonus on Spellcraft check.

Ruthless Combatant (Su): A phantom with this focus threatens a critical hit with its slam attacks on a result of 19–20. At 11th level, its critical multiplier with slam attacks increases to ×3.

To match up the abilities each phantom gains from the Priest of the Fallen archetype, I am creating what their levels/abilities would have been in life so that they match up with the abilities they gain as being a phantom for a priest of the fallen spiritualist. In addition to matching up their in-life abilities to the same/similar abilites they regained (and are capable of regaining) as phantoms, it will help me get some ideas for personality quirks of each phantom. Not everything will necessary be filled out, such as all the spells Shimmerella had in her spell repertoires in life. For example, a hierophant phantom has the potential to use bane and bless as spell-like abilities, each 15 times a day, plus prayer and searing life, each once per day. I used that as a reference to get the minimum oracle level that would be able have enough spell slots to be able to cast the spells that many times.

Another example, is Irohmentingham had levels in (hospitaler) paladin in addtion to his (prankster) bard levels. He gained levels in paladin after he attained tier 3 mythic and took the Beyond Morality path ability so being chaotic good beforehand did not prevent him from gaining the paladin's lay on hands and mercies (which he will eventually gain as a Kindness phantom). Which is why Irohmentingham will sometimes try to lay healing hands on a wounded ally (as that is what he did in life - oh, the joy he will have when he regains the lay on hands ability).

Shimmerella and her leprechaun friend, Buckets decided to accompany a human friend of theirs who had a myth-speaking. They went with their friend to the Mana Wastes. When they encountered a mana surge, Shimmerella and Buckets got sucked into the vortex. Their human friend jumped in to save them, resulting in the three of them being imbued with mythic power.
