As a standard action, you may command terrain and natural effects to act on your behalf. The effect produced depends on the environmental aspect targeted. Each effect must be centered or targeted within close range. Because geomancing manipulates natural elements, it is not subject to spell resistance, even if a geomancing ability targets a creature directly.

Geomancing effects come in two forms: instantaneous and concentration. Instantaneous effects have no duration, while concentration effects persist as long as the caster concentrates or they may spend a spell point as a free action to allow the effect to continue for 1 round per caster level without the need for concentration.

When a caster gains the Nature sphere, he chooses and gains one of the following Nature packages, with its included abilities. A caster may gain the Expanded Geomancing talent to gain additional packages.

Air

Breeze: Concentration, requires air. You create a light wind that remains swirling around a target. The breeze grants the target a circumstance bonus equal to 2 + 1 per 5 caster levels on saves against very hot conditions, severe heat, and saves against clouds, vapors, and gases (such as cloudkill, stinking cloud, and inhaled poisons).

Gust Of Wind: Concentration, requires air. You may create a line-shaped gust of wind emanating out from you out to the edge of your geomancing range, affecting all creatures and objects within that line. The severity level of the wind is 3 + 1 per 5 caster levels (see the Wind category of the Weather sphere for more information). If maintaining Gust Of Wind via concentration, you may spend a spell point as a free action to increase the severity level of its wind by 1 for that round. Walls and other barriers block this wind.

Author's Note: If Gust Of Wind is used in an area of existing wind severity level 3 or greater, the geomancing ability may have different effects depending upon what direction your line-shaped gust is blowing versus the existing weather.

Gust Of Wind blowing in same direction of Existing Wind: instead increase the wind severity in the line-shaped gust by 1 + 1 per 5 caster levels.
Gust Of Wind blowing in opposite direction of Existing Wind: instead decrease the wind severity in the line-shaped gust by 3 + 1 per 5 caster levels.
Gust Of Wind blowing in perpendicular directions of Existing Wind: Gust Of Wind overrides the existing wind severity and direction in that line-shaped gust, but otherwise remains unchanged.

Purify Air: Concentration, requires air, gas, or vaporous substance. You may convert polluted air or a non-breathable gas or vapor into a cloud of breathable air in a 5 feet + 5 feet per 5 caster levels radius area centered within range. This has no effect on supernatural or other magically created clouds (such as a vampire’s gaseous form or a cloudkill spell). Creatures who are entirely within the area of the cloud are able to breathe in sufficient air to sustain them.

Earth

Bury: Concentration, requires sand. You shift the sands, swallowing targets within a 10-foot radius + 5 feet per 5 caster levels area centered within range. This functions as Entangle from the (plant) package, but on a failure targets cannot move but do not become entangled. Each subsequent round they do not escape and this effect is still active, the Strength and Escape Artist DC increases by 1. After 10 rounds or if the target is knocked prone within this area and fails their save, they are considered buried and begin to suffocate until they escape.

Dust Storm: Concentration, requires sand or loose dirt. You kick up sand or dirt within a 10-foot radius + 5 feet per 5 caster levels area centered within range. All creatures fully within this area gain concealment (attacks against them have a 20% miss chance). If creatures within this area attack creatures outside this area, the targets also have concealment.

Tremor: Instantaneous, requires dirt or stone. You may spend a spell point to send a tremor through the ground, affecting a 10-foot radius + 5 feet per 5 caster levels area centered within range. Targets standing within this area must succeed at a Reflex save or fall prone.

Fire

Affect Fire: Concentration, requires fire. You may affect a normal, non-magical fire, increasing or decreasing its size by one category, plus one per 5 caster levels. This is only a temporary change; once the effect ends, the fire returns to its normal size. Reducing a fire smaller than Fine extinguishes it, in which case it does not return to normal size after the effect ends. The fire consumes fuel and deals damage as appropriate for its new size, according to Table: Maximum Fire Size. Creatures caught in the fire's area are allowed a Reflex save for half damage. The minimum caster level required to affect a fire is also given in the chart. If two casters are affecting the same fire in the same direction (increasing or decreasing) only the strongest change occurs. If two casters attempt to Affect Fire in opposite directions (one making it bigger, one making it smaller), the second caster must succeed at a magic skill check. On a success, their ability functions normally, overlapping the first caster’s effect. The fire counts as its altered size for determining if the second caster can affect it.

Note: If multiple fires overlap, or if a Large or larger creature is affected by multiple smaller fires within its area at once, these fires combine to determine the effective size of the fire when determining damage (2 Small fires make 1 Medium fire, 2 Medium fires make 1 Large fire, etc.).

If a creature has caught on fire, treat that fire as being Tiny-sized for the purpose of this effect. When you affect a fire on a creature, you also raise or lower the Reflex save DC to put the fire out by 1/2 your caster level (minimum 0).

Table: Maximum Fire Size

Minimum Caster Level	Fire Size	Example	Damage per Round	Space
1st	Fine	Tindertwig	1	1/2-ft. square
1st	Diminutive	Torch	1d3	1-ft. square
1st	Tiny	Small campfire	1d6	2.5-ft. square
3rd	Small	Large campfire	2d6	5-ft. square
5th	Medium	Forge	3d6	5-ft. square
8th	Large	Bonfire	4d6	10-ft. square
11th	Huge	Burning shack	5d6	15-ft. square
15th	Gargantuan	Burning tavern	6d6	20-ft. square
20th	Colossal	Burning inn	7d6	30-ft. square
25th	Colossal+	-	8d6	50-ft. square
30th	Colossal++	-	9d6	70-ft. square
35th	Colossal+++	-	10d6	100-ft. square

Create Fire: Concentration, no requirements. You may produce a Diminutive-sized magical fire that burns without fuel. This fire may be 1 size category larger per 5 caster levels, and may be used to ignite flammable materials to create self-sustaining, non-magical fire. If a target is within the area of the created fire, they suffer damage as normal for that fire’s size and catch fire. A successful Reflex save halves the damage and negates catching fire.

Manipulate Lava: Instantaneous or concentration, requires lava. You may manipulate lava. This is exactly the same as the Freeze and Vortex powers from the (water) package, except you must spend an additional spell point for each ability, and you must target lava. Frozen lava becomes obsidian, with a hardness of 5 and 3 hit points per caster level and does not deal damage per round to trapped creatures.

Metal

Magnetize: Instantaneous, requires metal. As a standard action, you may cause a creature or object within your geomancing range consisting mostly of metal whose size is not larger than your maximum Recover Ore size to fly towards a creature or object of your choice within your geomancing range.

This can only be used on unattended objects, attended objects from willing creatures, or willing creatures consisting mostly of metal. You may choose to throw the item harmlessly (in which case it can either be caught by the target or else lands in an adjacent square), or you may use this as a ranged attack action. This counts as a ranged attack, except you must use your casting ability modifier in place of Dexterity.

If successful, you deal either the object’s ‘ore damage’, or if it is a weapon, the weapon’s damage (arrows and bolts with metal tips count as daggers for this purpose, dealing 1d4 damage). Despite the name of this ability, the target object or creature need not be made of metal.

Recover Ore: Instantaneous, requires dirt or sand. As a standard action, you may create a piece of metal ore by pulling and combining particles of metal from the ground. You must spend a spell point to use this ability, and must have a large enough piece of earth (sand or dirt) to pull the ore from. This piece of ore can be brass, bronze, copper, or tin, and the size of the ore recovered depends both on your caster level and the square footage of earth you pull from.

The piece of ore you recover is formed on the ground in an unoccupied space within range and can be of any basic shape (a ball, a rod, a sheet, even a chair) but cannot be anything complex or with moving parts. You may also pull multiple pieces of ore placed in different adjacent squares, so long as their combined size does not exceed your maximum, and each piece of recovered ore must be of the same type (such as copper or tin). For these purposes, 2 Fine-sized pieces of ore equals 1 Diminutive-sized piece, etc.

While this effect is instantaneous and thus cannot be dispelled, ore breaks back into particles after 1 hour per caster level. If a piece of ore is used as a weapon, it counts as an improvised weapon, dealing either bludgeoning, piercing, or slashing damage, chosen at the time of Recovery. The damage such a weapon deals is listed as ‘ore damage’ in the chart below. As always, improvised weapons bestow a -4 penalty to attack rolls.

Table: Metal Types

Metal	Hit Points	Hardness
Brass	20/in. thickness	9
Bronze	20/in. thickness	9
Cold iron	30/in. thickness	10
Copper	20/in. thickness	9
Iron	30/in. thickness	10

*Sample items listed are sized for a Medium-sized creature; modify the object size accordingly for objects sized for smaller or larger creatures.

The Value of Recovered Ore: Ore recovered through the (metal) package from the Nature sphere is of poor quality and degrades quickly, making it impossible to simply create and sell. However, players who possess a metal-based Craft or Profession skill such as Craft (weapons) or Profession (blacksmith) can heat and purify this ore to make it workable. This allows such a character to attempt Craft or Profession checks to earn a wage even without the presence of a market or workshop to work in. Rather than earning money, the check instead creates an amount of raw materials equal to that day or week’s wage, which may be sold later or used as raw materials for any metal-based crafting.

Reforge: Instantaneous, requires metal. As a standard action, you may spend a spell point to cause an unattended object (or object that you are holding) consisting mostly of metal whose size is not larger than your maximum Recover Ore size to be reshaped into a different object of the same size. For example, you could reshape a longsword into a mace. You may not reshape metal objects into forms with complex moving parts.

If targeting a magical item, the effect is not instantaneous, but lasts for only 1 minute before the object reverts to its original form. If reshaping a magical item would make it no longer qualify for specific enhancements, those enhancements are suppressed for the effect’s duration. Reforge does not function on artifacts.

Plant

Entangle: Concentration, requires grass, weeds, vines, or underbrush. You cause plants to grow rapidly, wrapping themselves around everything in a 10-foot radius + 5 feet per 5 caster levels area centered within range. Creatures within this area must succeed at a Reflex save or gain the entangled condition and become unable to move. Creatures that succeed at their save can move as normal, but those that remain in the area must save again at the end of each turn you maintain the effect. Creatures that move into the area must save immediately.

Those that fail end their movement and gain the entangled condition. Entangled creatures can break free as a move action, if they succeed at a Strength or Escape Artist check against a DC equal to the effect’s Reflex save DC. This area is also considered difficult terrain for the duration of the effect. If the area contained plants with thorns, all creatures suffer 1 point of piercing damage each round they are within this area.

Harvest: Instantaneous, requires fruit trees, berry bushes, or food crops. You may spend a spell point to cause plants to sprout food spontaneously. You may affect up to 1 plant per caster level within range. Each plant produces enough food to provide 3 Medium-sized creatures or 1 horse with food for a day.

Pummel: Concentration, requires a tree. You cause a tree branch to come alive and attack a foe you designate. The tree cannot move, but it makes one slam attack each round against the designated target until you spend a move action to designate another target or until the target dies or moves out of range. Slam attacks from the pummel deal damage as if it were a primary attack, may be enhanced as a natural weapon as if the tree branch were a creature, and are not subject to spell resistance. You cannot designate a target you cannot perceive.

The branch has a Strength score equal to 10 + your caster level, and a to-hit modifier equal to your caster level + its Strength modifier + its size modifier. You may animate a Medium branch at 1st caster level, and your maximum size increases by 1 category per 5 caster levels. An entire tree can count as a branch, provided the tree is not larger than your maximum Pummel size.

In place of animating a branch of Large-size or larger, you may animate a pair of branches that are two sizes or smaller on the same tree. You can only do this once per branch that you otherwise could animate with pummel. For example, at CL 20, when targeting a Colossal tree, they can choose to animate: 1 Colossal-sized branch, or 2 Huge-sized branches, or 2 Large-sized branches, or 2 Medium-sized branches, etc. Branches are still objects, and as such always fail saving throws, can gain the broken condition (suffering a -2 penalty to attack and damage rolls), and are destroyed when reduced to 0 hit points.

Note: There are very few worlds, even among fantasy, where trees exist that are Colossal+ or larger. However, a caster of particularly high caster level may still subdivide larger branches into smaller branches using Table: Number of Branches Per Size Category of Tree as a guide. For example, a Colossal++ tree would have 1d4 (avg 3) Colossal-sized branches, 3d4 (avg 8) Huge-sized branches, and 9d4 (avg 23) Large-sized branches. Regardless of your caster level, or the size of the tree, you cannot animate a branch that is larger than Colossal-sized.

Note: Primary natural attacks usually get a 1.5x Strength multiplier for their damage. See the rules on natural attacks in the CRB for more information on this.

Table: Branch Size

Size	Example	Size Modifier	Slam damage	Reach	Armor Class	Hardness	Hit Points
Small	Tertiary Branch or Sprout	-1	1d4	5 ft.	8	5	2
Medium	Secondary Branch or Sapling	0	1d6	5 ft.	7	5	5
Large	Primary Branch or Young Tree	+1	1d8	10 ft.	6	5	15
Huge	Juvenile Tree	+2	2d6	15 ft.	5	5	50
Gargantuan	Typical Adult Tree	+4	3d6	20 ft.	4	5	150
Colossal	Massive Tree	+8	4d6	30 ft.	3	5	500

Number of Branches Per Size Category of Tree

Tree Size	Number of Medium Branches	Number of Large Branches	Number of Huge Branches
Huge	1d4 (avg 3)	-	-
Gargantuan	3d4 (avg 8)	1d4 (avg 3)	-
Colossal	9d4 (avg 23)	3d4 (avg 8)	1d4 (avg 3)

Water

Blood Sphere Note: If you possess both the Nature sphere (water) package and the Blood sphere, you may treat a volume of blood as an equal volume of water for your (water) geomancing abilities. You may treat a creature susceptible to bleed damage that is taking bleed damage or below half its maximum hit points as being wet for any ability that requires it. You may treat a creature susceptible to bleed damage of at least Large size (count two Medium creatures as a Large creature, two Small creatures as a Medium creature, etc.) that is suffering bleed damage or below half its maximum hit points as a sufficient volume to use the Fog ability.

Fog: Concentration, requires rain, mist, or at least 5 cubic feet of water. You call up a rolling fog, cutting off people’s vision within a 10-foot radius + 5 feet per 5 caster levels area centered within range. The fog obscures all sight, including darkvision, beyond 5 feet. A creature within 5 feet has concealment (attacks have a 20% miss chance). Creatures farther away have total concealment (50% miss chance and the attacker cannot use sight to locate the target). The ability does not function underwater. If using a body of water, the fog must be at least partially over the water itself.

If you spend a spell point to maintain this effect without concentration, a moderate wind (11+ mph) will disperse it within 4 rounds. In the presence of a strong wind (21+ mph), you cannot use this ability.

Freeze: Instantaneous, requires water. You may spend a spell point to flash freeze water, turning it into ice. You may freeze a 1 inch thick, 5-foot-by-5-foot square of water per caster level. Alternatively, you may cover a wet Medium-sized creature with 1 inch of ice per caster level. You may increase the size of the frozen area or size/number of the frozen creatures, but divide the ice’s thickness by the equivalent number of Medium-sized creatures.

Creatures smaller than Medium count as Medium-sized creatures for this effect, with the exception of multiple creatures occupying the same space. Add the sizes of multiple creatures occupying the same space together when determining their size for this purpose. For swarms, count each 5-foot square as being 2 Medium-sized creatures occupying the same space. You may affect both squares and creatures, but all affected targets and spaces must be contiguous and must have the same thickness of ice.

Creatures are allowed a Reflex save to avoid being frozen. On a failure, they are encased and cannot move, and suffer 1 point of cold damage per round per inch of ice. To escape, they must succeed at a Strength check or Escape Artist check as a full-round action to escape the ice (DC 15 +1 per inch of thickness) or another creature must break the ice around the trapped creature (3 hit points per inch). While encased, a target can only take mental or verbal actions, or attempt to escape. Being encased in ice blocks line of effect, but not line of sight (the creature may still be targeted, but effects that deal damage to the target must break through the ice first before dealing damage to the target). On a successful save, the target is still entangled for 1 round. Ice melts 1 inch of thickness per minute on the average day.

When freezing ice or wet ground, you may also create slick ice. A creature traversing slick ice must spend two squares of movement to first enter a space with ice, and cannot move more than half speed without a successful DC 15 Acrobatic check at the start of the movement, falling prone on a failure.

Running or charging requires a DC 20 Acrobatics check, falling prone on a failure, but increasing the runner’s move across the ice by 10 feet if successful by 5 or more, though the runner is considered flat-footed until the start of its next turn.).

Table: Creature Size

Creature Size	Equivalent number of Medium-sized creatures
Fine	1/16
Diminutive	1/8
Tiny	1/4
Small	1/2
Medium	1
Large	2
Huge	4
Gargantuan	8
Colossal	16

Vortex: Concentration, requires a large body of liquid. You may create a spinning vortex in a body of liquid that sucks creatures and objects to its center. This vortex is 5 feet wide at its base, is 10 feet high + 5 feet per 5 caster levels, and is half as wide at the top as it is high. Any creature entering this area must succeed at a Reflex save or suffer bludgeoning damage equal to 1d8 + 1/2 your caster level (minimum 0). If the creature is smaller than the vortex, they must succeed at a second Reflex save or be pulled into the middle of the vortex. Creatures in the middle of the vortex suffer bludgeoning damage once per round with no save, and must succeed at a Reflex save each round or be unable to move, and on a success may only move at half their swim speed. A vortex cannot contain more creatures than would exceed its volume.

You may move the vortex up to 30 feet per round as part of the action required to concentrate on it. If maintaining the effect through a method other than concentration, you may designate a simple pattern for it to move, which you may alter as a move action. Creatures in the middle of the vortex are carried along with it as it moves.

Nature Talent Types

Some talents are marked (air), (earth), (fire), (metal), (plant), or (water). You must possess the (air), (earth), (fire), (metal), (plant), or (water) package respectively to gain these talents. Talents marked (geomancing) give you new geomancing abilities.

Spirit

Some talents are marked (spirit). These talents give the caster ways they have learned to tune their spirit with nature.

Each (spirit) talent grants the caster a new ability they may use as a standard action unless otherwise specified. If a (spirit) talent grants multiple options, each one is considered a separate spirit ability. If an ability granted by a (spirit) talent affects a target directly, that effect is subject to spell resistance.

If a (spirit) talent uses your geomancing range or references a geomancing ability, you may instead use your caster level with (spirit) talents to determine the range or strength of its effects.

Nature Talents

Deep Nature

When you use a geomancing or spirit ability that requires concentration, the ability continues to maintain itself for 2 rounds after you stop concentrating. When you spend a spell point to make a geomancing or spirit ability endure without concentration, its duration increases by one step (1 round per caster level becomes 1 minute per caster level, while 1 minute per caster level becomes 10 minutes per caster level).

Elemental Strike [Strike] [3PP]

^{Source: Expanded Spheres: Baron's Lost Apocrypha}

As a standard action, you may make a single weapon attack in conjunction with using a geomancing effect which can target a creature or object. This casting cannot be reduced below a standard action, and does not provoke attacks of opportunity, unless as usual if making a ranged attack. If the target is struck by the attack, it is also affected by the geomancing. If using a scatter weapon, the geomancing only applies to a single target, chosen at the time of attack. If you possess the Grant Spirit talent, you may affect the target with a spirit effect which requires an attack roll or combat maneuver (such as destroy element) in place of a geomancing effect.

Environmental Presence [Mass] [3PP]

^{Source: Expanded Spheres: Baron's Lost Apocrypha}

When using a geomancing effect which targets a creature or object, you may spend an additional spell point to affect an additional 1 target per 2 caster levels (minimum 1) at the same time. Each target must be within range and must be affected by the same geomancing or spirit effect.

If you would gain an ability which would grant you the mass talent associated with the nature sphere, you must choose between gaining this talent or the second instance of the Grant Spirit talent (provided you already have the first instance of Grant Spirit and thus qualify for the second).

Expanded Geomancing

Choose and gain a Nature package you do not already possess. You may select this talent multiple times, gaining a new package each time.

Grant Spirit

When activating one of your spirit Nature abilities, you may touch a willing target and grant them the benefit of your (spirit) talent, rather than gaining it yourself. This can only be done with (spirit) talents that have a non-concentration duration, and requires a minimum of a standard action when granting an effect to another.

You may take this talent twice. When taken twice, you may spend an additional spell point to affect up to 1 additional creature per 2 caster levels (minimum 1). Each target must be within range and must be affected by the same (spirit) talent and ability. Once created, each spirit is considered a separate sphere effect. Taking this talent twice is considered a mass talent.

Instill Spirit [instill]

As a standard action you may touch a small container of liquid and instill a spirit effect inside it, which functions as a potion or oil. Spirit effects with an instantaneous or concentration duration cannot be instilled, and if you do not have the ability to grant spirit effects to other creatures, the instilled liquid is only usable by you.

An instilled liquid remains potent until you rest to regain spell points. If you have equipment on hand (such as an alchemy lab), the cost of bottles and water is considered negligible. You may target food but not an already-magical item, such as a potion. All spell points must be spent and all variables of the sphere effect must be chosen at the time the instilled liquid is created. You cannot instill multiple effects in a single liquid, nor create multiple instilled liquids with a single action.

Ranged Geomancy [range]

The range of your geomancing abilities increases from close to medium range. You may select this talent up to 2 times. Each time it is selected, the range increases by 1 step (close to medium, medium to long).

Wild Instinct

While concentrating on any Nature sphere ability, you gain the benefits of uncanny dodge. You may take this talent twice, upon taking this talent a second time, you also gain the benefits of improved uncanny dodge using your caster level in place of class level to determine the minimum rogue level required to flank you.

Geomancing Talents

Air Mastery (air, geomancing)

When you use the Gust Of Wind ability, you may create a cone area of effect instead of a line. Additionally, you gain the following geomancing abilities:

Absorbing Inhalation: Concentration. You may, as a standard action, grant your lungs inhuman strength and capacity, allowing you to harmlessly and completely inhale one gas, fog, smoke, mist, or similar cloud-like effect during the duration of the talent. The cloud-like effect can have no larger of a radius than 10 feet + 5 feet per 5 caster levels. If the targeted cloud is a magical effect, you must succeed at a magic skill check to inhale it. Inhaling the cloud removes it from the area, leaving normal breathable air in its place. Gaseous creatures gain a Reflex save to avoid being inhaled. This talent can only affect an instantaneous-duration cloud (such as a breath weapon) if you ready an action to utilize the talent in response.

You may keep the cloud harmlessly contained within you for as long as the talent remains active, but you must hold your breath to do so (even if you do not normally have to breathe).

If the cloud has a duration, the time the cloud is contained within you counts toward that duration (gaseous creatures are immediately and harmlessly exhaled should their gaseous form expire in the nearest empty space). As a standard action, you may release the stored cloud as a breath weapon, filling a 60- foot cone (or the cloud’s original area, if smaller). Any creature in the breath’s area is subject to its normal effects, attempting saving throws and spell resistance checks as appropriate against the cloud’s original DC. The exhaled cloud resumes its duration, if any. Exhaling the stored cloud immediately ends the duration of this talent. If you do not exhale the cloud before this talent’s duration expires, you suffer the cloud’s effects, automatically fail any saving throw made to resist it, and exhaling any gaseous creatures inhaled into the nearest empty space.

Feather Fall: Concentration, requires air. You cause all falling creatures or objects within a 5 feet + 5 feet per 5 caster levels radius to fall slowly, changing the rate at which they fall to a mere 60 feet per round (equivalent to the end of a fall from a few feet). The targets take no damage upon landing while this talent is in effect. Once applied, this effect stays with the individually affected targets until the duration expires. You may use this ability as an immediate action by spending a spell point.

Aquatic Adept (water, geomancing, spirit) [Alienist HB]

You gain several abilities which improve your capacity to operate underwater.

Adjust Buoyancy (spirit): You may spend 1 spell point to change your buoyancy to swiftly rising, neutral, or swiftly sinking for 10 minutes per level (see the aquatic rules section of Pathfinder Campaign Setting: Aquatic Adventures for rules on buoyancy). Your buoyancy does not change based on what equipment you are carrying. As a standard action, you may change your buoyancy again (alongside the buoyancy of any other willing creatures affected by this spirit).

Aquatic Mire (geomancing): You may create fog effects underwater, in which case they function as they normally would in the air. Instead of wind, currents can disperse an underwater fog; any current with a speed of at least 10 feet disperses a fog in 1 round.

Create Current (geomancing): If you have the (air) package, you may use the gust of wind ability underwater, creating a current of equal speed and range to the gust of wind you could create (see the aquatic rules section of Pathfinder Campaign Setting: Aquatic Adventures for rules on currents).

Deep Adaptation (spirit): You adapt incredibly quickly to changes in pressure, taking no damage from pressure effects. In addition, you can move and attack underwater normally without the usual penalties involved with underwater combat, as if under the effects of freedom of movement (this does not grant you the other benefits of the spell). This benefit lasts for as long as you concentrate or 10 minutes per caster level if you spend 1 spell point.

Echoes of the Sea (spirit): You may spend 1 spell point to gain the ability to track creatures through the water as if across soft ground as long as they passed through the area less than 1 week ago (this lets you notice trails that are much older than normal underwater trails). You retain this benefit for 1 hour per caster level.

Breeze Mastery (air, geomancing) [EO3]

When using Breeze, you may spend a spell point to have it affect an area, granting its benefits to all creatures within a 15-foot radius + 5 feet per 5 caster levels. Additionally, when you use Breeze, you may add any of the following additional effects depending on what other packages you possess.

Air: Stable Winds: Requires air. You can create incredibly powerful winds, allowing you to walk upon the air with some difficulty as long as you concentrate. You can spend a spell point to allow yourself to walk on air as if walking on solid ground, with moving upward being similar to walking up a hill. The maximum upward or downward angle possible is 45 degrees, which is at a rate equal to half your normal land speed.

Wind of severity level 3 or higher can blow you away regardless of your size, with any checks required (such as a Strength or Fly check) using your casting ability modifier instead of the normal ability modifier used for the check. You begin to fall as normal if you stop concentrating on this effect.

Earth: Stabilizing Dustveil: Requires sand or loose dirt. You can create winds made up of fine particles of dust and sand, stabilizing the area around you. The circumstance bonus granted by Breeze also applies to your CMD against bull rush, reposition, trip, and overrun combat maneuvers made against you. Additionally, you treat the first square of difficult terrain you enter every round as if it were normal terrain.

Fire: Warm Breeze: Your breeze is heated to ward against the chill. Instead of the normal bonus to saves against very hot conditions or severe heat, Breeze instead grants this bonus to saves against very cold conditions and severe cold. Additionally, when used in this way, creatures affected by your Breeze treat the severity of all cold and precipitation weather effects as one step less severe, plus one per 10 caster levels you possess.

Metal: Ferrous Zephyr: Requires metal. You can create a breeze filled with fine filaments of metal. The circumstance bonus granted by Breeze also applies to your AC and to saving throws against electricity-based effects. Additionally, you ignore the penalties associated with the broken condition with any of your worn or wielded equipment (but is still considered broken regardless) as long as the Breeze is active.

Plant: Fragrant Flurry: Requires grass, vines, or weeds. Your breeze smells of pleasant meadows and flowers, and causes vines and flowers to grow where it touches. The circumstance bonus granted by Breeze also applies to saving throws against the nauseated and sickened conditions and any harmful effects that rely on smell. Additionally, the DC required to track creatures affected by Breeze increases by an amount equal to the circumstance bonus granted by Breeze.

Water: Cooling Breeze: Requires rain, mist, or at least 5 cubic feet of water. Creatures affected by your Breeze treat the severity of all aridity and heat weather effects as one step less severe, plus one per 10 caster levels you possess.

Create Nature (geomancing)

As an instantaneous effect, you may spend a spell point to create your geomancing element anywhere within range. While this is its own geomancing ability, it may also be combined with another geomancing ability as part of the same action, in which case the second geomancing ability comes into effect immediately, using the created element to meet the second ability’s prerequisites. You must pay any costs associated with both abilities to combine them in this manner.

Create Nature counts as a geomancing ability or effect belonging to the package being used.

Air: Create Air: You create a cloud of air. This creates one 5-foot cube per 2 caster levels (minimum 1 cube) of breathable air. The created cloud of air will immediately displace other gases, liquids, and vapors in the area, but will shortly thereafter behave as normal air. For example, if this talent is used underwater, the created air cloud will form a bubble that will begin to ascend to the surface.

Earth: Granulate: You create enough loose dirt or sand to cover a 5-foot radius + 5 feet per 5 caster levels area. You may reduce the spell point cost by 1 (minimum 0 spell points) if you choose to break apart rock and stone within this area (reducing their thickness by 1 inch, +1 inch per 5 caster levels), instead of creating the dirt or sand spontaneously.

Collapsing Structures
Generally speaking, single castings of Create Nature (earth) on stone structures will not be enough to compromise the structural integrity of a building. Should half of the structure's load bearing columns, keystones, or walls be reduced to half thickness or less, a weakened area is created. Those who notice the weakened area (with a successful DC 20 Craft (stonemasonry) or Knowledge (engineering) check) may exacerbate the situation by destroying half of the structure's load-bearing objects, triggering a cave-in or collapse. Rules for the cave-in and collapse hazard can be found in the Pathfinder Gamemastery Guide.

Fire: While the (fire) package already has the power to Create Fire, you may now combine Create Fire with another geomancing ability, as outlined above. This can include using Affect Fire and Create Fire at the same time to create truly powerful fires. Unlike the uses listed above, you do not need to spend a spell point to combine Create Fire and other geomancing abilities as part of the same action.

Metal: You may now use Recover Ore in conjunction with other geomancing abilities, as outlined above, though doing so increases the cost of Recover Ore to 2 spell points instead of 1.

Hemoglobin: You may create metal ore out of a living creature’s essence. Target a living corporeal creature within your geomancing range. To use hemoglobin, make a ranged touch attack against the target, inflicting 1d2 Constitution damage to the target (Fortitude save for half damage). The die size of the Constitution damage increases by 1 step for every 5 caster levels (1d3, 1d4, 1d6, etc.). Regardless of the creature’s size or bodily composition, you Recover Ore of Fine size upon successfully hitting the target. While the name of this ability suggests the target must bleed or have blood, it is not necessary; the only requirement is that the creature be corporeal and living. If the target is immune to ability damage, you still Recover Ore of Fine size.

Plant: Grow Plants: You spontaneously grow plants. This may create one tree (to a maximum size equal to that which you can control through the Pummel geomancing ability) or a field of plants within a 5-foot radius + 5 feet per 5 caster levels area. This may create basic plants (corn, underbrush, ivy) and may be combined with Harvest to create edible food, but cannot create plants with inherent qualities (i.e., you cannot create rare herbs, etc.).

Water: Create Water: You create a pool of water. You create one 5-foot cube per 2 caster levels (minimum 1 cube) of clean water. Using this ability in conjunction with Vortex can create a vortex that travels on land, so long as it is always touching the ground. Using this ability in conjunction with Freeze can allow you to create walls of ice by freezing vertical spaces as you would normally do horizontal spaces. These walls cover the same area and have the same hit points as usual, but may be arranged in a contiguous wall no more than 5 feet high per inch of thickness.

Earth Mastery (earth, geomancing)

Increase the maximum radius of your Bury and Tremor by an additional 5 feet per 5 caster levels. Additionally, you gain the following geomancing abilities:

Unearth: Concentration, requires dirt or stone. You may manipulate the earth surrounding a burrowing or buried creature or object, forcing them to be pushed or pulled 5 feet + 5 feet per 5 caster levels each round towards the surface (Fortitude negates). While affected, the target is unable to burrow or earth glide on its own, but is otherwise unimpeded. You may only target a creature or object whose location you have pinpointed (such as with a successful Perception check or with tremorsense). Unless the target has earth glide, the creature cannot be forcefully moved through stone (or lava if the target possesses fire resistance 20+ or fire immunity), but rather only sand or dirt. Each round, the target is allowed a new Fortitude save to end the effect.

Sandstone: Instantaneous. You may spend a spell point to transform dirt or sand into stone in an area within range. The size of the created rock or stone depends both on your caster level and the radius of dirt or sand you target. Alternatively, you may encase a dirt or sand covered target in 1 inch thick stone. Refer to Table: Sandstone to determine the maximum target size to be encased. For every size smaller the encased target is than the required radius of dirt or sand, either double the thickness of the stone or increase the number of encased targets. Creatures and objects are allowed a Reflex save to avoid being trapped in stone. On a failure, creatures or objects caught in the area are encased; to escape, they must succeed at an Escape Artist or Strength check (equal to your Bury geomancing DC) as a full-round action; alternatively, a creature may break free by dealing sufficient damage to the rock or stone.

Stone has a hardness of 15 and 2 hit points per inch. On a successful save, affected targets are still entangled and immobilized until they escape or 1 minute per caster level, whichever comes first.

Table: Sandstone

Minimum Caster Level	Required Radius of Dirt/Sand	Created Rock or Stone Size	Maximum Target Size	Encased Rock or Stone Weight (maximum)
1	1-ft. radius	Diminutive	Small	1 lb.
1	5-ft. radius	Tiny	Medium	8 lbs.
2	10-ft. radius	Small	Large	60 lbs.
4	15-ft. radius	Medium	Huge	500 lbs.
8	20-ft. radius	Large	Gargantuan	2 tons
16	25-ft. radius	Huge	Colossal	16 tons
32	30-ft. radius	Gargantuan	Colossal+	125 tons

Elevated Nature (geomancing)

Your geomancing abilities can now affect greater depths and heights; rocks fly, vines reach, and fire blazes in such a way as to affect creatures at much higher or lower elevations than normal.

When using Entangle or Tremor, you may affect flying creatures up to 10 feet per caster level over the effect. Affected creatures must succeed at a Fly check (DC 15 + caster level) or fall; Entangle pulls targets harmlessly to the ground and entangles them as normal, while Tremor causes targets to suffer falling damage.

When creating a Vortex, increase the height to 10 feet + 10 feet per caster level. The top of the vortex is 10 feet + 5 feet per 5 caster levels wide, though the base of the vortex is still 5 feet.

When using Affect Fire, you may cause the fire to manifest as a pillar, reaching 10 feet per caster level into the air.

When using Gust Of Wind you may create the gust as a column with a radius of 5 feet + 5 feet per 5 caster levels and a height of 10 feet per caster level, centered anywhere within your geomancing range.

When using Magnetize, double the range you can target.

Fire Mastery (fire, geomancing)

You gain a number of ways of expressing mastery over fire. You gain the following geomancing abilities:

Alter Light: Concentration. You may alter the light produced by a fire within your Affect Fire maximum. You may halve or double the radius of its light, as well as change its granted light from an emanation to a cone of double its light radius. You may also increase its granted light by 1 level (usually to bright light) or decrease its granted light by 1 level (to dim light).

Extinguish: Instantaneous. You may spend a spell point to extinguish any and all fires within your geomancing range that are within your Affect Fire maximum, as you desire.

Reflash: Instantaneous. If a non-magical fire within range would become extinguished (through magical or mundane means), you may, as an immediate action, cause the fire to relight in up to a 15-foot radius burst of flame dealing fire damage equal to the largest sized fire you can create. This can be used to reignite a character who has caught on fire and extinguished the flames. If so, a successful Reflex save halves the damage and negates catching fire.

Fog Mastery (water, geomancing)

When you create Fog, you may add one of the following additional effects depending on what other packages you possess.

Air: Wind Blades: Your fog attacks those inside it with blades of wind. Any creature or object moving through this fog must succeed at a Reflex save or suffer 1d6 + 1 per 2 caster levels points of slashing damage for every 5 feet of movement spent entering or moving through this fog.

Earth: Sandstorm: Requires loose dirt or sand instead of water. You create a sandstorm. In addition to the fog, this also functions as a Vortex, except it travels over land and extends into the air, and can even leave the ground and travel in the air. The obscuring effect only applies to the actual area of the vortex, and creatures that possess earthsight or tremorsense do not have their vision obscured by this effect.

Fire: Smokescreen: Requires fire instead of water. You may create a fog out of smoke instead of mist. Creatures that begin their turn within or enter the cloud must succeed at a Fortitude save or become blinded for 1 minute. In addition, creatures suffer –2 penalty on attack rolls and Perception checks for as long as they remain inside and for 1 round after exiting the smoke. Creatures that possess firesight do not have their vision obscured by clouds modified with this effect.

Metal: Acid Rain: You may spend an additional spell point to create acid rain. An acid fog deals 1d6 acid damage per 2 caster levels (minimum 1d6, no save) to creatures inside it. This fog deals damage when you first create it and each subsequent round at the beginning of your turn. Any creature who enters the cloud immediately suffers damage, but only once even if they leave and re-enter the cloud as part of their movement. Creatures that possess metalsight do not have their vision obscured by this effect.

Plant: Spore Cloud: Requires grass, weeds, or trees instead of water. You may create a cloud of spores. Creatures that begin their turn within or enter the cloud must succeed at a Fortitude save or become sickened for as long as they remain within the fog + 1d6 rounds after leaving. If a creature fails its Fortitude save against this effect while already sickened, it also becomes nauseated for 1 round. Creatures and objects that exit the cloud are covered in visible sticky spores that remain until removed as a full-round action; outlining their form and revealing their position, and making invisibility impossible without first cleaning off the spores. Creatures that possess greensight or plantsight do not have their vision obscured by this effect.

Water: Solid Fog: You may make your fog so thick that it becomes effectively solid. Creatures move at half their speed through the fog, cannot make 5-foot steps, and suffer a -1 penalty to all weapon attacks and damage rolls made within or that pass through this area -1 per 10 caster levels. Objects that fall within this area are slowed so that each 10 feet of fog reduces the falling damage by 1d6, +1d6 per 10 caster levels.

Hazardous Terrain (geomancing)

You know how to make many of your geomancing abilities particularly dangerous.

When using the Freeze or Tremor geomancing abilities, you may cause the affected area to grow spike-like formations which last 1 round per caster level. If using Freeze on creatures, this affects the spaces adjacent to where they are standing. Freeze can’t create both spikes and slippery ice in the same space.

Whenever a creature steps onto an affected square, make a touch attack roll against the target using your caster level as your attack bonus. If successful, the target suffers piercing damage equal to your caster level (minimum 1) and has its land speed reduced by half due to its wounded feet. This movement penalty lasts for 24 hours or until the creature is treated with a DC 15 Heal check or receives at least 1 point of fast healing/magical healing/regeneration. A charging or running creature must immediately stop if it enters the affected area. A creature may move at half speed through this area without risking damage to itself.

When using Entangle you may cause the effect to grow thorns, dealing piercing damage equal to 1d6 + your caster level per round to all creatures inside the effect. Those who succeed at their Reflex save against the Entangle take half damage.

When using Affect Fire or Create Fire, increase the space the fire occupies as if it were one size category larger than it actually is.

Finally, when using Magnetize you may target a 5-foot radius + 5 feet per 5 caster levels area instead of a single target. When used in this way, Magnetize becomes a concentration effect. Any target who enters or begins their turn within this area is attacked by the metal object, as if using the Magnetize ability. These attacks are not attack actions. A single creature can only be attacked once per round in this way, no matter how many times they pass through the affected area during their movement. While this effect is active, attempting to grab or impede the Magnetized object requires a successful grapple (CMD equals 10 + your caster level + your casting ability modifier + any size benefit or penalty from the object).

Manipulate Nature (geomancing)

You may manipulate the elements to take on different shapes. The types and forms you can create are determined by your Nature packages, as outlined below:

Air: Air Geyser: Instantaneous, requires air. You may, as a standard action, create a powerful blast of air capable of flinging a Medium-sized or smaller target within range upward into the air (Reflex negates). If the target fails its Reflex save, the force of air hurls the target upward a number of feet equal to 5 x your caster level (or 10 x your caster level if you spend an additional spell point). If a solid object (such as a ceiling) is encountered, the target strikes the object taking 1d6 damage per 10 feet that the target was not hurled upward. For example, if a creature would be hurled 20 feet into the air but hits a ceiling at 10 feet, the target would take 1d6 damage. After this blast of air ceases, the target falls down (unless it was flying), taking falling damage as normal. The maximum size of the target increases by 1 size category every 5 caster levels.

Earth: Forge Earth: Instantaneous, requires ground. You may spend a spell point to alter the ground within a 5-foot radius + 5 feet per 5 caster levels area centered within range. You may raise or lower the terrain up to 5 feet + 5 feet per 5 caster levels, and may create variants within the affected area such as summoning a small wall or creating gradients and stair effects. You cannot both raise and lower the terrain with the same use of this ability and cannot create variants in anything smaller than 5-foot squares (i.e., you cannot create 1-foot diameter holes or create a spike of earth). Targets within this area are not damaged by falling if you lower the terrain, and climbing up the edges of lowered terrain usually requires a DC 15 Climb check.

Fire: Move Fire: Concentration. You may move a fire within your Affect Fire size up to 10 feet per caster level per round in whatever manner and direction you desire. A fire moved in this way continues to burn, even without fuel (although it may be drowned or extinguished otherwise as normal), and dies as soon as the effect ends if not moved to a new fuel source. If you have spent a spell point to make this use of Affect Fire self-sustaining, directing the fire is still a move action. When moving fire to or through a space occupied by a creature, that creature suffers the fire’s damage and catches on fire (Reflex for half damage and to not catch on fire). A creature can only be affected once per round by a fire, no matter how many times the fire moves through their space.

If you can Affect Fire or Create Fire, you may Move Fire as part of those geomancing effects.

Metal: Pin-ball: When using the Magnetize geomancing ability as a weapon, if the attack hits you may spend a spell point as a free action to Magnetize another creature within range and make a ranged attack at that creature. These additional attacks are not attack actions. The number of granted attacks increases by +1 per 5 caster levels, but if you miss once the pin-ball ability ends without any further attacks. You may not make ranged attacks with the pin-ball ability two or more times in a row against the same target.

Plant: Shelter: Instantaneous, requires tree or branch. You may spend a spell point to reshape a tree to create a shelter. Use the Pummel geomancing ability to determine the hit points and size of a shelter based on the tree used (the radius of the shelter is the reach of the tree or branch used). Creatures and equipment under the shelter suffer no harm from being in a hot or cold environment, and can exist comfortably in conditions between –50 and 140 degrees Fahrenheit (-45.5 and 60 degrees Celsius) without having to attempt Fortitude saves. In addition, the shelter provides protection against other environmental hazards such as smoke, lack of air, and so forth, however the vessel does not protect against any environmental damage such as cold or fire damage. The shelter also provides cover (+4 AC, +2 Reflex saves) to and from those inside, and hostile creatures cannot enter the shelter without first destroying the shelter. However, if the tree or branch used to create the shelter is destroyed, the effects of the shelter immediately end.

Author's Note: The Shelter geomancing ability is intended to work similarly to the Secure Shelter spell. As such, incorporeal creatures should be able enter the shelter without forcing their way in. Similarly, the shelter should not inherently restrict creatures from teleporting into the structure provided that the teleporting creature meets all other requirements, such as line of sight, etc.

Water: Wave: Instantaneous, requires water. You may create a surge in water that pushes targets in its wake. This surge may be created anywhere within range and may face any direction, but once created it travels in a straight line for a distance of 30 feet + 5 feet per 2 caster levels. This area may extend out of the water and onto land to a maximum of 10 feet + 5 feet per 5 caster levels. The wave created is 5 feet wide. The width may be doubled by halving the length. This may be done multiple times, but the length cannot become smaller than 5 feet. A target cannot be pushed back further than the wave’s length.

All creatures within the affected area are pushed as if by a bull rush combat maneuver, except it does not provoke an attack of opportunity. Use your caster level + your casting ability modifier in place of your CMB. If the target is on land and is successfully pushed by this ability, they must also succeed at a Reflex save or fall prone. If combined with Create Water, it may be created anywhere and may travel up to 30 feet + 5 feet per 2 caster levels over land.

Metal Mastery (metal, geomancing)

Whenever you use Recover Ore, you gain the ability to Recover Ore of iron, lead, or steel. Upon reaching caster level 5th, you add cold iron and silver to the types of ore you may recover. At caster level 10th, you gain the ability to recover mithral ore.

When using Magnetize, you may also affect the metal object with Reforge with the same action, spending a spell point to transform the metal object into a more dangerous form. The object may take the form of a specific weapon of your choice, or simply into a dangerous form which deals bludgeoning, slashing, and piercing damage and deals double the ore damage normal for its size.

You also gain the following geomancing ability:

Fortify: Instantaneous. You may spend 2 spell points as a standard action to fortify an unattended object (even non-metal objects) within range. The target becomes fused with metal, permanently increasing or decreasing the hardness and AC of the object by 1, +1 per 5 caster levels. An object may only be under the effects of one fortify at a time, as each future casting dismisses and replaces the previous casting. This grants no further benefit or penalties due to the metals used.

Nature Lord (geomancing)

Treat your caster level as 5 higher when determining the maximum area radius and height you can affect with your geomancing abilities that affect an area (such as Bury, Dust Storm, Entangle, Fog, Gust Of Wind, Purify Air, Tremor, or Vortex).

When using a geomancing ability dependent on size (such as Affect Fire, Create Fire, Magnetize, Pummel, or Recover Ore), increase the maximum size object you can create or target by 1 size category.

When using Freeze, you may affect twice as many equivalent Medium-sized creatures without affecting the thickness of the ice.

Author's Note: You can apply this effect to each applicable effect. For example, if using the Create Nature talent to both Create Fire and Affect Fire, both abilities will receive the size increases from the Nature Lord talent

Plant Mastery (plant, geomancing)

Your mastery of plantlife becomes even more pronounced. Increase the maximum radius of your Entangle by an additional 5 feet per 5 caster levels.

When using Pummel, you may spend an additional spell point. If you do, you may affect an additional number of branches equal to 1 + 1 per 5 caster levels.

When using Harvest, you may produce 2 magical berries per caster level, along with the usual food. Any creature who consumes one of these berries is healed 1 hit point. These berries lose their magical potency after 24 hours.

Pummel Mastery (plant, geomancing)

You may direct your animated branches to attack as a free action instead of a move action. In addition, you may cause a branch to perform any of the following actions instead of making an attack.

Aggravating Vegetation: You may instruct the vegetation to focus on antagonizing its target instead of making a regular attack. The branch or tree makes an attack roll as an antagonize check against the target’s Psychology DC (10 + Hit Dice + Wisdom modifier; or 10 + Sense Motive bonus, if it is higher). Unlike a normal antagonize check, you do not suffer a –4 penalty on antagonize attempts made against opponents of a different creature type or that are of animal intelligence (Intelligence 1 or 2). Creatures who have been previously antagonized gain a +4 bonus to their Psychology DC. Mindless creatures are immune to the effects of antagonize.

Antagonize is a mind-affecting effect. If you successfully beat the target’s Psychology DC, the creature, instead of taking damage, gains the antagonized condition against the attacking vegetation. The antagonized condition remains for 1 round. The duration of this condition increases by 1 round for every 5 by which you beat your opponent’s Psychology DC.

Antagonized Condition: The antagonized condition appears in Ultimate Charisma, published and copyrighted by Everyman's Game, LLC.

An antagonized creature can only target its antagonist (the one who caused the antagonized condition) with hostile actions. A hostile action is any attack or effect that causes direct harm to an opponent in the form of damage, negative conditions, or any other effect that penalizes or hinders a creature. Furthermore, an antagonized creature does not threaten any opponents except its antagonist: it cannot make attacks of opportunity or be used to determine flanking bonuses against other opponents. A creature is no longer antagonized if its antagonist is helpless, unconscious, or cannot participate in combat. If an antagonizes creature uses an ability that targets multiple creatures, the antagonist must be chosen among these targets. If an antagonized creature uses an ability that targets an area, its antagonist must be within the ability's targeted area.

On each round after the first, an antagonized creature may attempt a Sense Motive skill check as a swift action to realize the folly of its actions. This skill check is opposed by the antagonist's original antagonize skill check. If the creature succeeds on its Sense Motive skill check, the antagonized condition ends, but the creature suffers a -2 penalty on attack rolls and a -2 penalty to the saving throw DC of its abilities and any spells it casts for 1 minute. These penalties do not apply against the antagonist.

Sap Conglutination: Instead of a regular attack, you may instruct the vegetation to excrete a rubbery resin and attempt to coat the target with it. Targets hit by the attack become coated with this sap and gain the fatigued condition until they remove it as a full-round action. If a fatigued creature becomes coated with sap a second time, they gain the exhausted condition until the sap is removed as a full-round action.

Purify Nature (geomancing) [Warden]

You may purify the nature around you, making brackish water drinkable, poisonous plants edible, and hazardous air breathable.

Air: Improved Purify Air: You may spend a spell point to cast Purify Air as an instantaneous effect, causing the affected area to be purified of any toxins indefinitely (not accounting for the natural spreading of such gases). Additionally, whenever you concentrate on Purify Air, you may choose to center the sphere effect’s radius on yourself. If the air you are attempting to purify is magical in nature (including fog and clouds), you must attempt a magic skill check against the magic skill defense of the caster (the MSD of a supernatural effect is 11 + the CR of the effect's source). On a success, all negative effects such as concealment or damage are removed from the purified air.

Earth: Cultivate Soil: If you possess the (earth) package, as an instantaneous effect, you may spend a spell point to cause the soil within a 20-foot radius, plus 10 feet per 4 caster levels you possess to churn and enrich itself, allowing the soil to be used to grow plantlife. If the earth you are attempting to purify is cursed or poisoned, you must attempt a magic skill check against the magic skill defense of the effect, or the DC of the poison (if any). On a success, the curse or poison is dispelled and removed from the affected area.

Fire: Purifying Heat: If you possess the (fire) package, as an instantaneous effect, you may spend a spell point to attempt to purify any toxins within a creature’s bloodstream using extreme heat. You may attempt a magic skill check against the DC of each poison the target is suffering from. On a success, the poison is neutralized.

Metal: Pure Metals: If you possess the (metal) package, whenever you would use Recover Ore to gain materials to earn a wage using an appropriate Craft or Profession skill, you earn double your check result in gold pieces worth of raw materials, instead of half your check result. Additionally, you may use Reforge to completely remove all rust and damage on a non-magical metal object, removing the broken condition from the object and causing it to regain 1d4 hit points, +1 additional hit point per 4 caster levels you possess. If you possess Reforge Mastery, this increases to 1d6 + 1/2 your caster level hit points.

Plant: Purify Food: If you possess the (plant) package, as an instantaneous effect, you may spend a spell point to purify all food within a 10-foot radius, plus 5 feet per 4 caster levels you possess, making spoiled, rotten, or otherwise contaminated food edible. If the food you are attempting to purify is poisoned or diseased, you must attempt a magic skill check against the DC of the poison or disease. On a success, the poison or disease is removed from the food.

Water: Purify Water: If you possess the (water) package, as an instantaneous effect, you may spend a spell point to purify all water within a 10-foot radius, plus 5 feet per 4 caster levels you possess of brackish, stagnant, or otherwise contaminated water. If the water you are attempting to purify is poisoned or diseased, you must attempt a magic skill check against the DC of the poison or disease. On a success, the poison or disease is removed from the water.

Reforge Mastery (metal, geomancing)

As a concentration effect, you may use a limited form of Reforge that can even affect attended objects. When targeting an attended object, you may apply one of the following effects.

Reforged Edge: You may target a weapon and affect its critical hit threat range, increasing or decreasing it by 1, +1 per 10 caster levels. This bonus or detriment is applied after abilities and feats such as Improved Critical or the keen weapon special ability, and cannot be doubled. If this would decrease a weapon’s critical hit threat range below 1, the weapon instead has its critical hit multiplier decreased by 1 for every point it is reduced below 1 (minimum x1 crit multiplier).

Author's Note: This sphere effect can increase the critical threat range of a weapon to be higher than normally possible (such as 12–20 with a sufficiently high caster level). By GM discretion, a GM can adjust this talent to not increase the critical threat range of an altered weapon higher than 15–20.

Reforged Reach: You may target a weapon and increase the weapon’s reach by up to 5 feet + 5 feet per 10 caster levels.

Chill Metal: If you possess the (water) package, you may target a piece of metal or mostly-metal equipment and decrease its temperature. Any creature who begins their round touching the chilled metal takes 1d6 cold damage per 2 caster levels. If the chilled metal is something they are holding such as a sword or coin, they may attempt a Reflex save to drop the item to take only minimum damage, otherwise, the creature may attempt a Fortitude save for half damage. Worn equipment such as armor cannot be dropped in this fashion. If the object is used as a weapon, it deals an additional 1d6 cold damage. If this ability is used on a metal object with moving parts (such as a door’s hinges), those pieces become non-functional as they freeze together, requiring a Strength check to beat your MSD to break loose and restore functionality.

Heat Metal: If you possess the (fire) package, you may heat metal. This functions the same as chill metal, except dealing fire damage instead of cold damage, and moving parts cease functionality due to being slightly welded rather than frozen.

Repress Element (geomancing) [Apoc]

^{Source: Spheres Apocrypha: Battlefield Manipulation Talents}

As a concentration effect, you may temporarily obliterate an element within a 5-foot radius + 5 feet per 5 caster levels area within range. Creatures of a subtype corresponding to a repressed element are nauseated for the duration of the repression unless they succeed at a Fortitude save (this saving throw is made as soon as they enter the area of repression).

Any effect with a descriptor corresponding to the repressed element does not manifest within the area unless the caster succeeds at a magical skill check. Additional effects apply depending on the element repressed.

Air: Vacuum Generation: The area becomes a vacuum, preventing creatures from breathing or sound (including sonic effects) from moving through the area. Characters cannot cast with verbal components in the vacuum. Starting at caster level 5th, all creatures in the area of the created vacuum take 1d6 bludgeoning damage, plus an additional 1d6 damage for every 5 caster levels thereafter. Creatures who remain within this area must save at the end of your subsequent turns or suffer damage again. If a creature enters this area after its creation, it also suffers this damage. A creature may only be affected by the damage from vacuum once per round, regardless of how many times they enter or exit the area that turn. Creatures that need air to breathe suffer from suffocation in a vacuum as normal. At caster level 10th, all creatures that suffer damage from the vacuum must succeed at a Fortitude save or become fatigued.
Earth: Disintegrate Earth: Stone and crystalline entities begin to phase out of existence, weakening their defenses. All stone or crystalline objects in the area have their hardness reduced by half your caster level and creatures made of stone or crystal have any DR and natural armor bonuses they possess reduced by half your caster level (minimum 0). Weapons made of stone or crystal deal damage as if they were one size smaller plus an additional size smaller per 5 caster levels (minimum of 1 damage) and AC bonuses granted by armor and shields made of crystal or stone is reduced by half your caster level (minimum 0). A creature is allowed a Fortitude save to negate the effects of this ability on themself and any equipment they are carrying (although they must save again if they leave and re-enter the area).
Fire: Heat Drain: Combustions are negated in the area. For the duration of the effect, all non-magical fires in the area are extinguished (although they can re-ignite when the effect ends). Any fire damage taken by creatures in the area is halved. All light in the area is decreased by one step plus an additional step for every 5 caster levels you possess. At caster level 10th, electricity damage and damage from explosives is reduced in the same manner as fire damage.
Metal: Disintegrate Metal: As Disintegrate Earth, save that the effects apply to creatures and equipment made of metal rather than stone or crystal.
Plant: Disintegrate Flora: As Disintegrate Earth, save that the effects apply to creatures and equipment made of wood, vines, or other plant-based materials rather than stone or crystal.
Water: Evaporation: The area becomes immensely dry, causing all unattended liquid in the area to evaporate (although it may return to liquid state when the effect ends). Living creatures in the area take a -2 penalty on Fortitude saves. This penalty increases by 1 per 5 caster levels. At caster level 10th, even attended liquids like potions dry up temporarily in the area, although owners are allowed a Fortitude save to negate this effect for as long as they remain in the area (although they must save again if they leave and re-enter the area).

Riding Fog (water, geomancing) [Alienist HB]

You may create clouds of fog attached to yourself or to other creatures. A fog cloud attached to a creature is called a riding fog. This functions as a regular fog and can be dispersed by wind, except that it moves with the creature it is attached to, becomes inactive if that creature is knocked unconscious and is dispelled if they are killed. The fog continues to function if it goes beyond the range of its creator.

The recipient must be within range of your geomancing. An unwilling creature can have a riding fog attached to them as a touch attack; A creature is allowed a Will save to prevent having the fog attached to them and may attempt another saving throw each round to end the fog. The Break Enchantment talent from the Life sphere or a similar effect can dispel the riding fog before its natural duration expires. An enemy with a riding fog attached to them still receives any saving throws the fog allows to avoid being affected. A successful save causes the fog to immediately dissipate.

Spell resistance can prevent a riding fog from being attached to a creature. Failing to bypass the intended target’s spell resistance in attempting to attach the fog dispels the fog.

Temperature (fire, geomancing)

Your control over fire extends to a level of mastery over temperature. You gain the following geomancing abilities.

Trail Blaze: Instantaneous. You may spend a spell point to create a wave of ash, hot air and smoke in 120-foot line which reveals a safe path to traverse, allowing creatures to ignore difficult terrain within the affected area for a number of rounds equal to 1/2 your caster level (minimum 1). Creatures who are caught in the area of effect when first cast must attempt a Fortitude save or become exhausted, creatures that succeed at their saves become fatigued instead.

Boil Water: Concentration, you must possess the (water) package. you may, as a standard action, cause a 5-foot cube of water per 2 caster levels (minimum one 5-foot cube) within range to heat up and boil, dealing 1d6 per 2 caster levels (minimum 1d6, no save) fire damage to any creature within. Each round at the beginning of your turn, any creature still within the boiling water suffers damage again. If a creature enters the boiling water, they immediately suffer damage, but only once during their movement, no matter how many times that movement takes them in and out of the boiling water.

Melt Earth: Concentration, you must possess the (earth) package. You may spend 2 spell points as a standard action to melt the surface of a 5-foot square of sand, dirt, or stone, plus another contiguous 5-foot square per 5 caster levels, transmuting the top inch per caster level into lava. This is not enough lava to create vortexes. Creatures who enter this square or begin their turn in this square suffer 1d6 fire damage per caster level (Reflex half, targets who are in the square when the lava is created may instead attempt a Reflex save to move out of the space and avoid all damage).

Even after a creature leaves the lava, creatures who failed a saving throw against this lava suffer half damage each round for 1d3 rounds (no save). A creature may spend a full-round action to remove the lava and end this effect for future rounds. If a creature is within this square when the effect ends, the earth instantly cools around the creature, immobilizing it (Reflex negates).

An immobilized creature cannot move until it succeeds at Strength or Escape Artist check against the caster’s Nature DC, both of which require a full-round action. Alternatively, another creature may attempt a Strength check as a standard action to break the earth, or any creature may deal 5 damage per caster level to the earth to break it.

Thrown Pummel (plant, geomancing)

When using the Pummel geomancing ability, the tree branches may throw vegetation as a ranged attack instead of only making melee slam attacks. The attack is treated as a thrown weapon with a range increment equal to twice the tree branch’s reach. The attack roll and damage otherwise remain unchanged.

Water Mastery (water, geomancing)

Your mastery of water is delicate and intricate. You may manipulate snow as if it were liquid water.

In addition, you gain the following geomancing abilities:

Air Bubble: Concentration, requires both water and air, meaning it usually must be used at the water’s surface. You may fold water in such a way that it traps air inside of it. This can take one of two forms: You may create either an individual air bubble around a creature’s head, or create a large bubble measuring up to 5 feet + 5 feet per 5 caster levels in radius. You may move this bubble as if it were a Vortex. An individual air bubble allows a creature to breathe underwater for 1 hour normally, but otherwise does not impede swimming. A larger air bubble traps significantly more air, and allows those inside to remain dry and walk on the ground at the bottom of the body of water as if it were ground. A large air bubble contains enough air for a Medium creature to breathe normally for 6 hours per 5 feet in the bubble’s radius.

Slow Suffocation: A medium character can breathe easily for 6 hours in a sealed chamber measuring 10 feet on a side. After that time, the character takes 1d6 points of nonlethal damage every 15 minutes. Each additional medium character or significant fire source (a torch, for example) proportionally reduces the time the air will last. Once rendered unconscious through the accumulation of nonlethal damage, the character begins to take lethal damage at the same rate. Small characters consume half as much air as medium characters.

Push Swimmer: Instantaneous. You may move creatures and objects within a 5-foot radius + 5 feet per 5 caster levels area that are surrounded or submerged in water up to 5 feet per 2 caster levels in any direction that ends with them still in water (Reflex negates if unwilling). A target slammed into a solid object suffers 1d6 falling damage per 10 feet of movement.

Spirit Talents

Aquatic Adept (water, geomancing, spirit) [Alienist HB]

You gain several abilities which improve your capacity to operate underwater.

Destroy Element (spirit)

As a standard action you may spend a spell point to remove and deconstruct your elements. This requires a melee or ranged touch attack against a target within your geomancing range. You may use the following abilities depending on what packages you possess.

Air: Suffocation: You pull the breath from a living creature’s lungs. The target is allowed a Fortitude save to resist, and on a failure is staggered and is left unable to speak, use breath weapons, cast spells with verbal components, or perform any other action requiring breath for 1d4 rounds, +1 per 2 caster levels. If a target is unable to breathe for long enough, they may begin to suffocate, as detailed in the Gamemastery Guide.

Earth: Shatter: You may target an unattended, non-magical object, regardless of composition, of up to 10 lbs. per caster level and shatter it to pieces. This can be used to target objects attached to other objects (for example, a door or window), but cannot target a section of a larger object (for example, a portion of a stone wall). You may instead target a creature comprised mostly of stone or crystal; stone creatures suffer 1d6 damage per 2 caster levels while crystalline creatures suffer 1d6 damage per caster level (Fortitude half).

Fire: Ash Strike: You may generate a cone of ash that reaches from you to the edge of your geomancing range. This does not require a touch attack. This ash reveals invisible characters until they can wash off the ash or remove it as a full-round action (which provokes attacks of opportunity), and reveals the square invisible creatures are in if they walk on the ground, as they leave footprints in the ash. Targets struck by the ash strike must succeed at a Fortitude save or be blinded for 1d4 rounds, or until they wash off or remove the ash as mentioned above.

Metal: Oxidation: You destroy a metal object or creature. If the target’s size is one or more sizes larger than the size of ore that you can recover, the creature or object takes 1d8 damage per 2 caster levels (Fortitude half), otherwise the target takes 1d8 per caster level (Fortitude half). This damage overcomes any hardness the creature or object may have. If targeting an attended object, you must pass the touch attack roll and the target is allowed a Reflex save to negate damage. If an object receives sufficient damage to destroy it, it instead becomes non-functional for 1 minute per 2 caster levels, before returning to the broken condition with 1 hit point.

Plant: Decompose: You cause a living target’s flesh to rot, possibly even growing mold and mushrooms. The target suffers 1d4 + 1 per 5 caster levels points of Constitution damage (Fortitude half). If a target fails their saving throw against this ability, all fast healing/magical healing/regeneration they gain is halved for 1 round per caster level (minimum 1).

Water: Dehydration: You suck the moisture from a living creature, causing it to suffer 1d6 nonlethal damage per caster level and become sickened for 1 round (Fortitude half). Oozes, plants, and creatures with the aquatic or water subtypes suffer lethal damage instead.

Dragonlung (spirit)

You gain a breath weapon as a supernatural ability when you gain this talent. This breath weapon is either a 60-foot line or a 30-foot cone, chosen the first time this talent is gained. This talent may be taken twice to gain both options. This breath weapon deals 1d8 damage per 2 caster levels (minimum 1d8), and allows a Reflex save for half damage. Using this breath weapon is a standard action, but you must wait at least 1d4 rounds between uses.

Whenever you use this breath weapon, you may choose a damage type from among those available to you based on your packages, as outlined below:

Air: sonic damage
Earth: bludgeoning/slashing/piercing damage
Fire: fire damage
Metal: electricity damage
Plant: acid damage
Water: cold damage

Friend To Wildlife (spirit) [utility]

Choose either animals or vermin. You may take this talent twice to gain both options.

You may spend a spell point as a standard action to cause the chosen creature type to treat you as a friend for 1 minute per caster level. Indifferent creatures (such as domesticated animals or domesticated honeybees) become friendly to you, while unfriendly creatures (such as wild animals) become indifferent to you. This means that wild creatures will not attack unless provoked, and you may make requests of these creatures, provided you may communicate with them (if you cannot communicate with a creature, only basic commands such as ‘go’, ‘come’, ‘fight’, or ‘stay’ may be communicated). This has no effect on animals or vermin who are hostile to you (such as those already in combat), and a creature with a master (such as an animal companion) will still attack if commanded to by its master.

Once during the duration of this ability, you may call the nearest animal or vermin (depending on the type chosen when this talent is taken) of a particular type you designate to seek you out. The creature’s CR cannot exceed your caster level, though if you choose vermin you may summon a swarm with a CR no more than 1/2 your caster level. The creature moves toward you under its own power, so the time it takes to arrive depends on how close a creature of the desired type is when you cast the spell. If there is no animal or vermin of that type capable of reaching you within this effect’s duration, you are aware of this fact.

Master Of Elements (spirit)

You count as possessing three additional Nature packages of your choice when determining what (spirit) talents you can gain and use. You may take this talent twice, which allows you to count as possessing every package. If you later gain all Nature packages except one per time you’ve gained this talent, you immediately retrain this talent into Expanded Geomancing.

Abilities from (spirit) talents that scale off of geomancing abilities (such as an ability that deals damage or determines size by referencing a particular ability) function normally according to the statistics that ability would have if you possessed it. For retraining purposes, possessing any Nature package counts as having Master Of Elements.

Nature’s Carapace (spirit)

You may spend a spell point as a move action to wrap an element around yourself for 1 minute per caster level. This allows you to grant yourself one of the benefits outlined below, dependent on the packages you possess:

Air: Buffeting Winds: You gain a 10% miss chance vs. ranged attacks, +10% per 5 caster levels. This does not affect ranged weapons that are unusually massive, such as boulders or siege weapons.

Earth: Stoneskin: You gain DR/adamantine equal to 1/2 your caster level. Once this has absorbed damage equal to 10 per caster level, it immediately ends even if its duration has not expired.

Fire: Flame Mantle: You place fire around yourself as a mantle. This does not deal fire damage to yourself, but all adjacent creatures take fire damage equal to the largest fire you can create at the end of each of your turns, and must succeed at a Reflex save or catch fire.

Metal: Iron Body: You wrap yourself in thick iron. You count as a creature comprised mostly of metal and gain a +6 armor bonus and a -3 armor check penalty, both of which increase by 1 per 4 caster levels, and you are considered to be wearing heavy armor, such as when calculating movement speed. You are considered armed when making unarmed attacks, and gain a +2 bonus to Strength and a -2 penalty to Dexterity, both of which increase by 2 for every 8 caster levels you possess.

Plant: Barkskin: You gain a +1 enhancement bonus to natural armor, +1 per 5 caster levels. In addition, in natural environments you gain a circumstance bonus to Stealth equal to 1/2 your caster level (minimum 1). You lose this circumstance bonus to Stealth in any round that you move more than 5 feet.

Water: Seamantle: You wrap water around yourself, gaining a circumstance bonus to Escape Artist checks and combat maneuver checks made to escape a grapple, as well as to your CMD to avoid being grappled, equal to your caster level. Additionally, the distortion from the water grants you a 10% chance to negate critical hits and precision damage, +10% per 5 caster levels.

Nature’s Movement (spirit)

You may spend a standard action to gain one of the following benefits for 1 round. You may spend a spell point to gain one of the following benefits for 1 minute per caster level. You may move up to your speed with the granted move type as part of activating this sphere effect, so long as the action used was at least a move action. The movements you can choose are determined by the packages you possess.

Air: Air Ball: You gain a rideable sphere of compressed air, which can support 200 + 20 lbs. per caster level. This ball can float up to 5 feet + 5 feet per 5 caster levels above the ground, and has a movement speed equal to your base land speed. This ball is only usable by you, but others may ride along if the ball can support the weight of all riders. The ball is treated as a mount, but requires no Ride or Fly checks to use and cannot be affected by uses of those skills such as cover or spur mount, nor can be targeted by opponents.

Earth: Burrow: You can tunnel through sand, loose soil, or gravel, at a burrow speed equal to half your land speed (minimum 10 feet) or at a burrow speed equal to a quarter of your land speed through stone (minimum 5 feet). While burrowing with this talent you cannot charge or run. This ability does not grant you the ability to breathe underground, so when passing through loose material, you must hold your breath and take only short trips or else you may suffocate.

Fire: Ride the Flames: You may use heat waves to push yourself, gaining a fly speed equal to your base land speed, with a maneuverability of clumsy. This fly speed only functions on your turn. If you are not on a surface that can support you on the end of your turn, you glide safely to the ground, at a speed of 60 feet per round, taking no falling damage. You cannot use this fly speed to hover.

Metal: Ironshod: You become difficult to impede with traps, hazards, and difficult terrain. You reduce any damage you take from traps, hazards, and difficult terrain (including caltrops and spike stones) by your caster level, and you can still 5-foot step through difficult terrain. When moving through difficult terrain, you may completely ignore 5 feet of difficult terrain + 5 feet per 5 caster levels when calculating your movement for a round.

Plant: Brachiate: You gain a climb speed equal to half your land speed (minimum 10 feet), granting you all the usual benefits of a Climb speed, including a racial +8 bonus to Climb checks. In addition, you can move through the upper canopies of jungles and forests with the same ease you move along the ground. You can use your base land speed to move through any heavily forested area without touching the ground by leaping and swinging from tree to tree. You can also use this among the rafters of a building, or even stalactites on a cavern ceiling.

Water: Water Walk: You gain the ability to walk on water. Water and all other liquid becomes solid to you, allowing you to move over it as if it were normal ground. Especially turbulent water (such as during a storm) may count as difficult terrain. You may always choose to sink into the water and swim if you so desire, in which case you are considered to have a Swim speed equal to your land speed, granting you all the usual benefits of a Swim speed, including a racial +8 bonus to Swim checks. This does not, however, grant you the ability to breathe underwater.

Nature’s Weapon (spirit)

You may perform one of the following special attacks or gain one of the following benefits. In addition to the effects that already possess a duration, if you possess the ability to grant (spirit) talent abilities to another you may spend a spell point as a standard action to grant a target the ability to use one of these attacks for 1 round per caster level. The options available are dependent on your Nature packages, as outlined below:

Air: Cacophony: As a standard action you may create a torrent of wind that deals sonic damage equal to 1d4 + 1 per caster level to all creatures and unattended objects within a cone that reaches from you to the edge of your geomancing range. Any creature damaged by the effect must succeed at a Fortitude save or be deafened for 1d4 rounds.

Earth: Stone Fist: As a free action you may encase one or both of your fists with stone for 1 round. While so encased, you cannot hold anything in that hand and suffer a -2 armor check penalty. You also are considered armed when making unarmed strikes with that hand, gain a +1 shield bonus to AC, and your unarmed strikes with that hand deal 1d6 damage Medium (1d4 Small) and ignore hardness less than 8. This damage increases by 1 die size (1d8, 1d10, 2d6, 2d8, etc.) every 4 caster levels you possess, and the shield bonus increases by 1 for every 6 caster levels you possess. This does not stack with monk levels or other effects that increase the damage of unarmed strikes.

Fire: Fire Wielder: As a free action you may create a fire in one or both of your hands. You are considered armed with this fire, and can treat it as a light weapon when making attacks. Attacks with this flame are touch attacks, and deal fire damage equal to the largest fire you can create with Create Fire. This fire cannot be augmented like a normal fire, and attacks with this fire are not augmented by your Strength modifier or effects that increase physical damage such as Power Attack, as flame is immaterial. You cannot be disarmed of this fire, but you may throw it as a ranged weapon attack with no range penalty to a maximum of your geomancing range.

Metal: Blade Whip: As a standard action you may reshape a mostly metal weapon (such as a sword or battleaxe) you are wielding into a cable and perform a trip, disarm or sunder combat maneuver against a target within your geomancing range. This is considered a ranged attack, and you cannot be targeted in return on a failure. You gain a bonus to the check equal to 1/2 your caster level (minimum 1). After the combat maneuver check has been resolved, your weapon returns to its original form.

Plant: Bramble Strike: You may spend a spell point as a standard action to cause brambles to burst from any mostly wooden weapon (such as a club, quarterstaff, or spear) you are wielding, or pieces of mostly-wooden ammunition such as an arrow or bolt coming from a ranged weapon you are using, for 1 round per caster level. Once per round when you strike a creature with one of your qualifying weapons, you may cause them to attempt a Reflex save. On a failure, the target becomes entangled for 1 round. For every 10 caster levels you possess, you may use this ability an additional time per round. Escaping this entanglement follows the same rules as escaping from the Entangle geomancing ability. If a creature fails their saving throw while already entangled from this effect, the condition’s duration increases by 1 round.

Water: Icicles: You may spontaneously create an icicle in your hand as a free action. These icicles count as masterwork daggers and melt if they leave your hand for more than 1 round. These icicles gain a +1 enhancement bonus per 4 caster levels you possess (maximum +5) and deal an amount of extra cold damage equal to 1/2 your caster level.

Nature Sight (spirit)

You may gain a supernatural sense depending on what Nature packages you possess for as long as you concentrate, or you may spend a spell point to gain the sense for 1 minute per caster level. This sense has a range equal to your geomancing range. Each sense must be gained as a separate effect.

Air: Cloudsight (Su): You gain mistsight, except allowing you to only see through clouds of fog, mist, and smoke as if they were transparent. In addition, you do not suffer miss chance from concealment or total concealment against creatures that are flying or have the air subtype provided they are within range of your cloudsight.

Earth: Earthsight (Su): You gain tremorsense, only allowing you to detect anything in contact with the same body of ground as you. In addition, you do not suffer miss chance from concealment or total concealment against creatures that are underground or have the earth subtype provided they are within range of your earthsight.

Fire: Firesight (Su): You can see through flames, lava, and smoke as if they were transparent. In addition, you do not suffer miss chance from concealment or total concealment against creatures that are on fire or have the fire subtype provided they are within range of your firesight.

Metal: Metalsight (Su): You gain the scent ability, except only allowing you to detect metal objects (including creatures wearing or carrying metal objects). In addition, you do not suffer miss chance from concealment or total concealment against ferrous creatures or creatures that have the clockwork or robot subtypes provided they are within range of your metalsight.

Plant: Plantsight (Su): You gain greensight, except only allowing you to see through leaves, living wood, greenery, undergrowth, and vines as if they were transparent (you still cannot see through dead wood). In addition, you do not suffer miss chance from concealment or total concealment against creatures that are entangled in plantlife or of the plant creature type provided they are within range of your greensight.

Water: Watersense (Su): You gain tremorsense, except only allowing you to detect anything in contact with the same body of water as you. In addition, you do not suffer miss chance from concealment or total concealment against creatures that are underwater or have the water subtype provided they are within range of your watersense.

Rejuvenation (spirit)

As a standard action, you may heal yourself an amount equal to 1/2 your caster level (minimum 1) per round for as long as you concentrate. This healing only functions if you have 1/2 your maximum hit points or less. You may spend a spell point to grant yourself fast healing equal to 1/2 your caster level (minimum 1) for 1 minute per caster level, but this fast healing also only confers healing so long as you have 1/2 your maximum hit points or less.

Resist Elements (spirit)

As a swift or move action, you may grant yourself one of the following benefits for 1 round, depending on what packages you possess. You may spend a spell point to gain one of these benefits for 1 minute per caster level, or to gain it for one round as an immediate action.

Whenever you activate this ability, you may spend an additional spell point to absorb damage instead of resisting it. Whenever damage is negated by one of these benefits, you are healed an amount equal to the negated damage.

Air: Sonic resistance equal to 10 + your caster level.

Earth: DR 1/adamantine, +1 per 5 caster levels. This stacks with other forms of damage resistance.

Fire: Fire resistance equal to 10 + your caster level.

Metal: Electricity resistance equal to 10 + your caster level.

Plant: Acid resistance equal to 10 + your caster level.

Water: Cold resistance equal to 10 + your caster level.

Ride The Elements (spirit)

You may spend a spell point as a move action to increase or decrease your movement speeds by 10 feet + 10 feet per 5 caster levels (applying to all movement modes) for 1 minute per caster level. When attempting an Acrobatics check to jump while this ability is active, the height and length of your jump is doubled, to a maximum of your move speed.

Speak With The Elements (spirit) [utility]

You may spend a spell point to commune with the elements for 1 minute per caster level.

Air: Speak With Clouds: You gain the Auran language, and may speak with clouds of fog or mist. This is not truly accomplished with speech, but rather by interacting with the cloud you may learn what else has touched it, passed through it, is hidden within it, etc. You can tell depth, weight, size, and number of passers-by, but not more detailed information.

Earth: Speak With Stone: You gain the Terran language, and may speak with natural or worked stone. This is not truly accomplished through speech, but rather by touching a stone you may learn what else has touched it, passed by it, what is hidden underneath it, etc. You can tell depth, weight, size, and number of passers-by, but not more detailed information.

Fire: Speak With Fire: You gain the Ignan language, and may speak with fire or smoke. This is not truly accomplished through speech, but rather by gazing into the flames and smoke you may learn what else has touched it, passed by it, what is responsible for creating it, etc. You can tell weight, size, and number of passers-by, but not more detailed information.

Metal: Speak With Metal: You gain the Aklo language, and may speak with natural ore or worked metal. This is not truly accomplished through speech, but rather by touching a piece of metal you may learn what else has touched it, worn it, passed by it, what is hidden inside it, details of its forging, etc. You can tell depth, weight, size, and number of passers-by, but not more detailed information.

Plant: Speak With Plants: You gain the Sylvan language, and may speak with normal plants and plant creatures. You can communicate with normal plants and plant creatures and can ask questions and receive answers from them. A normal plant’s sense of its surroundings is limited, so it will not be able to give (or recognize) detailed descriptions of creatures or answer questions about events outside its immediate vicinity.

Water: Speak With Water: You gain the Aquan language, and may speak with pools or bodies of water. This is not truly accomplished through speech, but rather by dipping a limb into the water you may learn what else has touched it, passed by it, what is hidden inside it, etc. You can tell depth, weight, size, and number of passers-by, but not more detailed information. You can speak with both fresh or salt bodies of water, and if attempting to converse with particularly large bodies of water, such as oceans, you can only acquire information from a portion of the body of water, to a maximum distance of 1000 feet + 100 feet per caster level.

Speak With Wildlife (spirit) [utility]

Choose either animals or vermin. You may spend a spell point to gain the ability to speak with your chosen creature type for 1 minute per caster level. You can ask questions of and receive answers from them, but this does not make them any more friendly than normal. Mindless vermin cannot understand or answer with more than basic information, wary and cunning animals are likely to be terse and evasive, and stupid creatures make inane comments. If a creature is friendly toward you, it may do some favor or service for you. You may take this talent twice, gaining both options.

Wreath Of Elements (spirit)

As an immediate action, (or a free action usable even when it is not your turn by spending a spell point) you may reach out with one of your elements. This grants you the following abilities, depending on which packages you possess. You may only use Wreath Of Elements once per round.

Air: Make a check adding your caster level and casting ability modifier vs. the bull rush CMD of a target within your reach. On a success, the target is pushed 5 feet directly away from you.

Earth: You gain temporary hit points equal to your caster level against one attack.

Fire: You attack a target within your reach with fire, dealing fire damage equal to your caster level (Reflex half).

Metal: You reach out with a magnetic field, gaining a deflection bonus to AC and CMD equal to 2 +1 per 5 caster levels against one attack.

Plant: Make a check using your caster level + your casting ability modifier vs. the grapple CMD of a target within your reach. On a success, the target is entangled for 1 round.

Water: Make a check using your caster level + your casting ability modifier vs. the trip CMD of a target within your reach. On a success, the target is knocked prone.

Advanced Nature Talents

Advanced talents are part of an optional rule and are only available with GM permission.

Cyclone (air, geomancing)

Prerequisites: Nature sphere ((air) package, Manipulate Nature (geomancing)), caster level 15th.

As a concentration effect, you may spend 2 spell points to create a powerful cyclone of raging wind that moves through the air, along the ground, or over water at a speed of 60 feet per round. This cyclone is 10 feet wide at the base, 30 feet wide at the top, and 30 feet tall. You can concentrate on controlling the cyclone’s every movement or spend an additional spell point to allow it to exist for 1 round per caster level without concentration, in which case you must specify a simple program (directing the cyclone’s movement or changing its programmed movement is a standard action). The cyclone always moves during your turn. If the cyclone exceeds the effect’s range, it moves in a random, uncontrolled fashion for 1d3 rounds and then dissipates. (You cannot regain control of the cyclone, even if it comes back within range.)

Any Large or smaller creature that comes in contact with the spell effect must succeed on a Reflex save or take 3d6 points of damage. A Medium or smaller creature that fails its first save must succeed on a second one or be picked up bodily by the cyclone and held suspended in its powerful winds, taking 1d8 points of damage each round on your turn with no save allowed.

You may direct the cyclone to eject any carried creatures whenever you wish, depositing the hapless souls wherever the cyclone happens to be when they are released.

Earthquake (earth, geomancing)

Prerequisites: Nature sphere ((earth) package, Manipulate Nature (geomancing)), caster level 15th.

As an instantaneous effect, you may spend 3 spell points to create an earthquake, affecting an 80-foot radius area. The powerful shockwave created by this ability knocks creatures down, collapses structures, opens cracks in the ground, and more. The effect lasts for 1 round, during which time creatures on the ground cannot move or attack. A caster on the ground must succeed at a Concentration check (DC 20 + 1/2 the caster level) or lose any spell or sphere effect they try to cast. The earthquake affects all terrain, vegetation, structures, and creatures in the area. The specific effect of an earthquake depends on the nature of the terrain where it is created.

Cave, Cavern, or Tunnel: The roof collapses, dealing 8d6 points of damage to any creature caught under the cave-in (Reflex DC 15 half) and pinning that creature beneath the rubble (see below). An earthquake cast on the roof of a very large cavern could also endanger those outside the actual area who are below the falling debris and rubble.

Cliffs: The earthquake causes cliffs to crumble, creating a landslide that travels horizontally as far as it falls vertically. Any creature in the path takes 8d6 points of bludgeoning damage (Reflex DC 15 half) and is pinned beneath the rubble (see below).

Open Ground: Each creature standing in the area must succeed at a DC 15 Reflex save or fall down. Fissures open in the earth and every creature on the ground has a 25% chance to fall into one (Reflex DC 20 to avoid a fissure). The fissures are 40 feet deep. At the end of the earthquake, all fissures grind shut. Treat all trapped creatures as if they were in the bury zone of an avalanche, trapped without air (see Suffocation rules in Pathfinder Gamemastery Guide for more details).

Structure: Any structure standing on open ground takes 100 points of damage, enough to collapse a typical wooden or masonry building, but not a structure built of stone or reinforced masonry. Hardness does not reduce this damage, nor is it halved as damage dealt to objects normally is. Any creature caught inside a collapsing structure takes 8d6 points of bludgeoning damage (Reflex DC 15 half) and is pinned beneath the rubble (see below).

River, Lake, or Marsh: Fissures open under the water, draining away the water from that area and forming muddy ground. Soggy marsh or swampland becomes quicksand for the duration of this effect, sucking down creatures and structures. Each creature in the area must succeed at a DC 15 Reflex save or sink down in the mud and quicksand. After the earthquake ends, the rest of the body of water rushes in to replace the drained water, possibly drowning those caught in the mud.

Pinned Beneath Rubble: Any creature pinned beneath rubble takes 1d6 points of nonlethal damage per minute while pinned. If a pinned character falls unconscious, he or she must attempt a DC 15 Constitution check each minute thereafter until freed or dead, suffering 1d6 points of lethal damage for each failed save.

Eternal Steel (metal and plant, geomancing)

Prerequisites: Nature sphere ((metal) package, (plant) package, Living Steel (advanced)), caster level 8th.

As a standard action, you may spend 3 spell points to permanently grant one metal creature or metal object regeneration 1 (acid). The amount of regeneration increases by +1 per 10 caster levels. Damage caused by magical rust or oxidation count as acid damage for the purpose of suppressing this regeneration. Targets that lack a Constitution score (such as most metal constructs) still gain the regeneration from Eternal Steel, but instead of falling unconscious when their hit points are reduced to 0, they become helpless (or broken in the case of objects) until they recover enough hit points to put their hit point total back up above 0; If such targets have their regeneration suppressed while at 0 or less total hit points, they are destroyed.

Freezing Geyser (fire, water, geomancing)

Prerequisites: Nature sphere ((fire) and (water) package, Create Nature (geomancing), Temperature (fire, geomancing)), caster level 15th.

This creates a burst of boiling water that snap-freezes once it has covered its targets. As a concentration effect, you may spend 2 spell points to create an eruption coming from a 10- foot square of solid ground within range. This deals 1d6 fire damage per caster level per round to all creatures within the 10-foot square and up to 30 feet above it. A successful Reflex save halves the damage, but creatures with evasion still suffer 3d6 fire damage on a successful save.

Starting in the second round of the geyser’s eruption, the rapidly cooling water begins raining down on all targets within 30 feet of the geyser, lasting for the length of the effect +1d3 rounds. Any creature caught in this freezing downpour takes 10d6 points of cold damage each round and is entangled by the layer of frost and ice forming on it. Even creatures affected by the main geyser who failed their Reflex save but left the area of cold rain find themselves entangled as the water on them freezes.

A successful Reflex save halves the damage and prevents the entangled condition, but still deals 2d6 cold damage to creatures with evasion who successfully save. While a creature outside the affected area finds their entangled condition leaves after 1 round as the ice melts, creatures who remain within the affected area are affected each round, with each additional failed save causing its speed to be reduced by 10 feet. If the creature’s speed reaches 0 feet, it is completely encased in ice, as the (water) package geomancing ability, with ice thickness determined as usual for the caster. At this point the creature continues taking damage from the freezing water—automatically failing any saving throws—plus an additional 3d6 points of cold damage each round until freed from the ice.

If an entangled creature steps into the burning geyser, they suffer fire damage as normal and are no longer entangled, as the boiling water melts the ice.

Living Steel (metal and plant, geomancing)

Prerequisites: Nature sphere ((metal) package, (plant) package), caster level 5th.

As an instantaneous effect, you may as a standard action spend 2 spell points to permanently grant the effects of living steel to a metal creature or object whose size is no larger than the ore that you may recover. Living steel repairs damage to itself at a rate of 2 hit points per day, or 1 hit point per day if it has the broken condition. In addition whenever the wielder of a metal weapon rolls a natural 1 on an attack roll against a creature wearing living steel armor or wielding a living steel shield, the item must succeed at a DC 20 Fortitude save or gain the broken condition. If the weapon already has the broken condition, it is instead destroyed. Living steel cannot damage adamantine weapons in this way.

Materials Of Legend (metal, geomancing)

Prerequisites: Nature sphere ((metal) package, Metal Mastery (metal, geomancing)), caster level 10th.

You may spend 2 additional spell points when using your Recover Ore ability, if you do you may treat the ore in the ground so that when it surfaces, you recover your choice of Elysian bronze, fire-forged steel, or frost-forged steel.

Natural Ally (spirit)

Prerequisites: Nature sphere (Friend To Wildlife (spirit)), caster level 1st.

As an instantaneous effect, you may, as a standard action, spend 3 spell points to call a specific fey, magical beast, plant or vermin of a type you designate (provided the creature’s CR is equal to or less than 1/2 your caster level) which then appears in a place within range at the start of your next turn, and remains for up to 1 hour per caster level. Unlike Friend To Wildlife, this advanced talent does not require that there are creatures of those types in the area. The creature will aid the caster to the best of its ability, but unless the caster speaks the creature’s language, only basic communication is possible (attacking an enemy, defending the caster, etc.) The creature must also be treated fairly and will not give aid that is obviously suicidal. If treated poorly, they may turn on and attack the caster. A caster may not use Natural Ally more than once per day.

Peace And Love (spirit) [Jester's HB]

Prerequisites: Nature sphere, Mind sphere.

You learn to manipulate the most elusive natural element, the heart. You project a 30-foot aura which penalizes hostile actions. All enemies within this aura take a -1 penalty on any attack rolls they make. You may suppress or resume this ability as a free action. This ability ceases to function if you are stunned, paralyzed, unconscious, dead, or otherwise incapacitated. This is a mind-affecting compulsion effect. At caster level 10, and every 10 thereafter, the radius of this aura increases by 30 feet.

If you spend a spell point as a free action, you may empower this aura to punish those with wicked hearts for 1 round per caster level. While the aura is empowered, whenever a creature taking a penalty from this aura deals damage to you or an ally inside this effect’s radius, that creature must make a Will saving throw or take 1d6 nonlethal damage per 4 caster levels (minimum 1d6). A creature can only take damage from this effect once per round; a creature that is immune to nonlethal damage takes lethal damage instead.

Persistent Fog Cloud (water, spirit)

Prerequisites: Nature sphere ((water) package, Deep Nature), caster level 10th.

You may spend 2 additional spell points when using the (water) geomancing Fog ability to change the duration of the fog from concentration to permanent. The fog in this form becomes an insubstantial object without hit points. You may concentrate on the fog to have it move up to 1/2 your speed in any direction. If targeted or otherwise in the area of an ability from the Weather sphere, the caster using the Weather sphere must attempt a magic skill check against your magic skill defense. If the Weather sphere user is successful, the fog is immediately dispelled. It is otherwise not subject to the effects of weather not created by magic.

Phoenix Resurgence (fire, spirit)

Prerequisites: Nature sphere ((fire) package, Resist Elements (spirit), Wreath Of Elements (spirit)), caster level 1st.

In response to gaining the disabled or dying condition, as an instantaneous effect, you may as an immediate action spend 3 spell points to explode into a ball of flame dealing 1d6 fire damage per caster level to all creatures within 10 feet + 5 feet per 5 caster levels. At the beginning of your next round, you return to life with 0 hit points and a number of temporary hit points equal to your caster level, which remain for 1 hour. You may only use this effect once per hour.

Rapid Growth (plant, geomancing)

Prerequisites: Nature sphere ((plant) package, Create Nature (geomancing)), caster level 15th.

You may spend 3 spell points to create a massive growth of plantlife. This affects up to a 1/2 mile radius area in one of the following ways:

Change Terrain: You may change the terrain in this area to forest or jungle. This does not cause animals native to the forest or jungle to appear, nor does it guarantee that the terrain type will stay that way indefinitely (some areas such as deserts or high mountains cannot support forests or jungles, and a forest or jungle created in these locations may die out over time) but in all other ways, the terrain changes to the selected type.

Improve Forest: If used in an area that already contains a forest or jungle, you may cause the area to grow rapidly. Typical trees become massive trees, all areas become covered in undergrowth, and areas already covered in undergrowth gain heavy undergrowth.

A creature standing in the same square as a typical tree gains partial cover, which grants a +2 bonus to Armor Class and a +1 bonus on Reflex saves. The presence of a tree does not otherwise affect a creature’s fighting space, because it is assumed that the creature is using the tree to its advantage when it can. The trunk of a typical tree has AC 4, hardness 5, and 150 hit points. A DC 15 Climb check is sufficient to climb a tree.

Massive trees take up an entire square and provide cover to anyone behind them. They have AC 3, hardness 5, and 600 hit points. Like their smaller counterparts, it takes a DC 15 Climb check to climb them. Space covered with light undergrowth costs 2 squares of movement to move into and provides concealment. Undergrowth increases the DC of Acrobatics and Stealth checks by 2 because the leaves and branches get in the way. Heavy undergrowth costs 4 squares of movement to move into and provides concealment with a 30% miss chance (instead of the usual 20%). It increases the DC of Acrobatics checks by 5. Heavy undergrowth is easy to hide in, granting a +5 circumstance bonus on Stealth checks. Running and charging are impossible. Squares with undergrowth are often clustered together. Undergrowth and trees are not mutually exclusive; it is common for a 5-foot square to have both a tree and undergrowth.

Increase Yield: If used in an area of developed farmland, you double the crop production in that area for the rest of the harvest season. This has no effect if used in winter or other times when crops are not being tended.

Tsunami (water, geomancing)

Prerequisites: Nature sphere ((water) package, Manipulate Nature (geomancing)), caster level 15th.

As a concentration effect, you spend 2 spell points to create a wave of water 10 feet deep, 10 feet wide per caster level, and 2 feet tall per caster level. This wave moves in a straight line at 60 feet per round over water (30 feet per round over land), and if not combined with Create Water, must originate from a large body of water. It travels perpendicular to its width, and may be maintained for no more than 5 rounds.

Creatures struck by the tsunami take 8d6 points of bludgeoning damage (a Fortitude save halves this damage) and are subject to a special CMB check. The wave’s CMB is equal to your caster level + your casting ability modifier + 8 (for the wave’s size). If this CMB check defeats a creature’s CMD, the creature is knocked prone and carried along by the wave. A creature carried along by a tsunami can attempt to escape the wave on its turn as a standard action by making a CMB or Swim check opposed by the wave’s CMB check. If a creature fails to escape, it takes another 6d6 points of bludgeoning damage (Fortitude save for half) and continues being carried along by the wave.

Objects struck by a tsunami are swept up if they are Huge or smaller and are carried along by the wave, deposited in a pile at the end of the wave’s journey. Gargantuan or larger objects, as well as structures or objects firmly attached to the ground, take 8d6 points of bludgeoning damage when a tsunami passes through its space—if this is enough to destroy the object or structure, the remains are carried along by the wave. Hardness does not reduce this damage, nor is it halved as damage dealt to objects normally is. Freedom of movement or the Freedom word prevents a creature from being carried along by a tsunami but does not prevent damage caused by it hitting a creature.

A solid barrier that is taller than the tsunami that is not destroyed by the wave stops that portion of the wave from continuing onward, leaving a gap in the wave as the rest of it continues forward.

Volcano (fire, geomancing)

Prerequisites: Nature sphere ((fire) package, Manipulate Nature (geomancing)), caster level 15th.

As a concentration effect, you may spend 2 spell points to call lava up from deep within the earth. This lava bursts from a 10 feet wide hole in the ground centered within range and creates a spout 10 feet high per 2 caster levels. Any creature in this area or who enters this area takes 10d6 points of fire damage and is hurled into the air and then tossed to the ground, suffering falling damage based upon the height of the volcanic spray (e.g., if the volcano is 80 feet tall, the creature takes 8d6 falling damage) and lands prone in a random square adjacent to the spout. A successful Reflex saving throw halves the fire damage and the creature is not tossed into the air, instead moving to the closest square adjacent to the geyser (Large-sized or larger creatures are moved enough so that they are not on top of the geyser but still adjacent to it). This movement does not provoke attacks of opportunity and does not count toward the creature’s normal movement.

In addition, the volcano sprays lava, smoke, and poison gas in a hemispherical emanation around itself. The radius of this emanation is equal to one half the volcano’s height (e.g., an 80 foot spout has a 40-foot radius emanation). All creatures within this area, including yourself, have concealment and suffer 2d6 points of fire damage each round as lava cascades on them.

They also suffer 1d6 Constitution damage per round as they inhale poisonous gas (Fortitude DC 15 negates, the DC increases by 1 per previous save), as Vog severity level 7 from the Weather sphere. Even after a creature leaves the lava-filled area, they suffer 1d6 points of damage for 1d3 rounds as the lava already on them cools.

A volcano must be created on the ground and cannot be created in other places, such as on the 2nd floor of a building. You can choose to make a smaller volcano than your level permits if an obstruction prevents it from reaching its full height, or if you simply want to create a spread of lava that’s smaller than your maximum.

Whispering Elements (geomancing) [utility]

Prerequisites: Nature sphere, caster level 1st.

As an instantaneous effect, you may as a standard action spend a spell point to send a message or sound through an element corresponding to a package you possess (air, earth, water, etc.) to a designated spot anywhere in the world. The message travels to the destination, provided that the location is familiar to you and that it can find a way to the location through its chosen medium. The message can travel as slowly as 1 mile per hour or as quickly as 1 mile per 10 minutes, though if it cannot reach its destination within 1 hour per caster level, the effect ends without delivering the message. If choosing plant or fire the message can travel without a medium, provided the end location possesses either plantlife or a fire for the message to be delivered through.

The message is gentle and unnoticed until it reaches the location, where it then delivers its whisper-quiet message or other sound to all creatures within 10 feet + 5 feet per 5 caster levels of the destination. Note that the message is delivered regardless of whether anyone is present to hear it.

At time of casting, you can prepare the effect to bear a message of no more than 20 + your caster level words, cause the talent to deliver other sounds for 1 round per 2 caster levels, or merely have the message seem to be a faint manifestation of the chosen element.

The message cannot speak verbal components, use command words, or activate magical effects.

Wildfire (fire)

Prerequisites: Nature sphere ((fire) package, Ranged Geomancy [range] x2), caster level 5th.

When using affect fire, you may spend 3 spell points to send forth a burst of heat that targets everything within a radius of 1000 feet + 100 feet per caster level. Creatures and objects caught within the radius of effect are dealt fire damage equal to the largest fire you can create and catch fire (if they are flammable, such as trees or cloth). A successful Reflex save halves the damage and negates catching fire.

Zoetic Geomancy

Prerequisites: Nature sphere (Deep Nature), caster level 10th.

As an instantaneous effect you may spend 10 minutes and 3 spell points to target a portion of material within close range from one of your packages to create a correlating elemental. For these purposes, the Weather sphere counts as a Nature package. The (plant) package, rather than producing an elemental, instead creates a treant.

The creature created is friendly toward you, and while you have no special empathy or connection with it, the creature serves you in specific tasks or endeavors if you communicate your desires to it. However, as it is a living, intelligent being, it will expect good treatment in return. If you use Zoetic Geomancy again, any previously created creatures remain friendly to you, but they no longer undertake tasks for you unless it is in their best interests.

Table: Zoetic Geomancy

Geomancing Package Required	Target	Creature
Air	15-ft. cube of air	Huge geomancy born air elemental
Earth	15-ft. cube of dirt, sand, or stone	Huge geomancy born earth elemental
Fire	15-ft. cube of fire or lava	Huge geomancy born fire elemental
Metal	Huge object of metal	Huge geomancy born cold iron elemental
Plant	Huge vegetation	Wyrgrove treant
Water	15-ft. cube of water	Huge geomancy born water elemental
Weather	15-ft. cube of air	Huge geomancy born air elemental

Nature Sphere Feats

Alloy Creation (Dual Sphere)

Prerequisites: Creation sphere, Nature sphere ((metal) package).

Benefit: When using your Creation sphere abilities, you may create and alter objects made from metals you can summon with your Recover Ore Nature sphere ability, even if you do not possess the Expanded Materials Creation talent.

When using metal geomancing talents or abilities limited by your Recover Ore size, you may target and affect metal one size larger than you could normally affect with your Recover Ore ability. This does not increase the actual size of the ore you can recover.

Alloy Enhancement (Dual Sphere)

Prerequisites: Enhancement sphere, Nature sphere ((metal) package).

Benefit: Whenever you use a (metal) geomancing ability which creates or affects metal (such as Recover Ore) you may choose to enhance the metal via the Enhancement sphere as part of the same action. This costs 1 additional spell point, in addition to any spell points required by the enhancement in question.

Alloy Telekinesis (Dual Sphere)

Prerequisites: Telekinesis sphere, Nature sphere ((metal) package).

Benefit: Whenever you use the (metal) geomancing Recover Ore ability, you may use telekinesis to Bludgeon another target creature or object with the metal ore recovered in this way, all as part of the same action. If you increase the casting time by 1 step (usually from a standard to full-round action), you may utilize your caster level instead of your base attack bonus for the first attack roll, and add your casting ability modifier to damage.

Coastal Infusion

Prerequisites: Nature sphere ((earth) package and (water) package).

Benefit: When using either the (earth) package or the (water) package within close range of both land and a substantial body of water (such as a lake, river, ocean, or sea), you gain a +2 bonus to your caster level for those geomancing abilities.

Fan The Flame (Dual Sphere)

Prerequisites: Destruction sphere (Fire Blast (blast type, fire)), Nature sphere ((fire) package), caster level 3rd.

Benefit: When a creature is set on fire by your fire blast, the fire does not deal 1d6 damage the following round, but rather deals damage equal to the largest fire you may affect. This fire reverts to normal after the first round, dealing 1d6 fire damage on subsequent rounds until extinguished, but you may choose to concentrate each round, or spend a spell point once as a free action, to cause the fire to stay at its increased size until extinguished. If your fire blast would cause multiple creatures to catch fire, each target must have the effect of Fan The Flames applied and maintained individually, either by concentration or spending spell points.

Fertilize Nature

Prerequisites: Nature sphere ((earth) package, (plant) package).

Benefit: Geomancing abilities from the (earth) and (plant) packages last 2 additional rounds after you end concentration.

Formulae Geomancing

Prerequisites: Nature sphere (three or more packages).

Benefit: You may read and use an alchemist’s formulae book, creating extracts for use during the day as an alchemist does. You must have a caster level with the entire Nature sphere equal to 3x the level of the extract, and use your Nature caster level as your caster level for the extracts. You must spend 1 spell point per level of the created extract, and only you can drink the extract to gain its effects.

Hemothermia (Dual Sphere) [BaP]

Prerequisites: Blood sphere (any (blood art)), Nature sphere.

Benefit: You gain the following two (blood arts), which allow you to alter the temperature of the target’s blood. If you possess the (blood art)’s associated Nature sphere package, you may add additional effects when using that (blood art).

Smoldering Hemoglobin (blood art): You may briefly superheat the target’s blood. On a failed Fortitude save, the target suffers blood loss, takes fire damage equal to your caster level, and catches fire. The target’s insides begin to burn, taking 1d6 fire damage the following round plus 1d6 per round until extinguished. Each round the target may attempt another Fortitude save to extinguish the flames. This is a free action that may be taken once per round. Drinking any non-flammable liquid (such as a potion or water) grants the target a +4 bonus to that round’s saving throw. This fire is not extinguished if the target submerges itself; it is internal. If you possess the Nature sphere (fire) package, you may spend an additional spell point to cause the burning damage the target suffers each round to be equal to the largest fire you can create with create fire, if it would be larger.
Freeze Veins (blood art): You rapidly freeze the target’s blood, making it harder for them to move. On a failed Fortitude save, the target suffers blood loss, takes cold damage equal to your caster level, and is staggered for a number of rounds equal to your casting ability modifier. While staggered by this effect, the target becomes unnaturally brittle. Whenever they fall prone, suffer falling damage, or take bludgeoning damage, they take an additional amount of cold damage equal to 1/2 your casting ability modifier. Each round the target may attempt another Fortitude save to warm themselves up. If you possess the Nature sphere (water) package, you may spend an additional spell point to cause the target to be unable to take a 5-foot step while staggered by this effect.

Imbue With Nature (Dual Sphere)

Prerequisites: Destruction sphere, Nature sphere (any (geomancing) talent).

Benefit: When using a (blast type) talent from a blast type category corresponding to a geomancing talent you possess, you may increase the casting time by one step or spend an additional spell point to draw material from the environment to enhance your destructive blast, allowing it to bypass spell resistance.

Geomancing Talent	Blast Type Categories
(Air) package	Air, electric, sonic
(Earth) package	Crystal, stone
(Fire) package	Fire, light
(Metal) package	Acid, electric
(Plant) package	Acid, force
(Water) package	Cold, crystal

Luminous Flame (Dual Sphere)

Prerequisites: Light sphere, Nature sphere ((fire) package).

Benefit: Whenever you use the Create Fire or Affect Fire geomancing ability, you may also cause the fire to glow. You may maintain concentration of this (fire) geomancing ability and the bright light of the glow with a single action.

Mage Of Ice And Rime [BaP]

Prerequisites: Nature sphere ((water) package, Water Mastery).

Benefit: You gain resistance to cold equal to 1/2 your MSB (rounded down, this stacks with any other cold resistance you have). If you are immune to cold damage, you may spend a spell point whenever your immunity prevents you from taking cold damage. If you do, you heal a number of hit points equal to the damage you would have taken from the effect if you were not immune, to a maximum of 5 hit points healed per Hit Dice you possess.

In addition, you gain the following benefits to the corresponding Nature sphere talents. Sphere effects you create using this feat gain the cold descriptor:

Nature’s Carapace: Instead of the Nature’s Carapace (water) package effect, you may cloak yourself with a coat of frost. You gain a number of temporary hit points equal to 1/2 your caster level plus your casting ability modifier. You always lose these temporary hit points first, even before other temporary hit points. If an attack deals less damage than the current temporary hit points from this sphere effect, it still reduces those temporary hit points but otherwise counts as a miss for the purposes of abilities that trigger on a hit or a miss. Temporary hit points from this sphere effect regenerate at a rate of 1 per round. You may spend a move action when near a source of water (such as rain, mist, or at least 5 cubic feet of water) within your geomancing range to restore all the temporary hit points from this sphere effect.
Nature’s Movement: While under the effects of the Nature’s Movement (water) package effect, you suffer no penalty to speed or on Acrobatics, Climb, or Stealth checks in snowy or icy terrain or snowy weather conditions.
Nature’s Weapon: When using the Nature’s Weapon (water) package effect, you may create any weapon you are proficient with instead of creating a dagger. Weapons which use ammunition (e.g. bows, firearms, or slings) are created with basic ammunition ready to be fired by the weapon, and basic ammunition may be summoned and automatically loaded into the weapon as a free action. This ability cannot be used to summon siege weapons or technological items, subject to GM permission.
Nature Sight: While under the effects of the Nature Sight (water) package effect, you may treat snow and ice as though it were a body of water, allowing you to detect anything in contact with the same body of snow or ice as you, and may see normally in natural or magical rain, sleet, hail, fog, snowstorms, blizzards, and other similar weather conditions.
Wreath Of Elements: Instead of the Wreath Of Elements (water) package effect, you assault a creature with a frozen gale. A target within your reach takes a penalty on their next attack roll, Perception check, or concentration check equal to -2 plus an additional -1 per 5 caster levels (Fortitude negates).

March Of The Treants (Dual Sphere)

Prerequisites: Enhancement sphere, Nature sphere ((plant) package).

Benefit: Whenever you cast Pummel, you may choose to spend an additional spell point to enhance the target, allowing the tree to uproot itself (or break free from the tree if targeting a branch) and gain a ground movement speed of 10 + 10 feet per 5 caster levels for the duration of Pummel (or enhance if you spend an additional spell point). On the last round of the target’s duration, the tree or branch will plant itself (as best it could upon the space it is located), becoming once again immobile.

Material Infusion (Dual Sphere)

Prerequisites: Destruction sphere, Nature sphere ((metal) package).

Benefit: When using a destructive blast that deals bludgeoning, piercing, or slashing damage, you may choose to have the blast count as cold iron or silver. At 15th caster level you may also choose adamantine. If other relevant materials exist in your campaign, the GM may determine at what level this talent applies to them.

Nature’s Enhancement (Dual Sphere)

Prerequisites: Enhancement sphere, Nature sphere (any (spirit) talent).

Benefit: Whenever you enhance a creature, you may also imbue the target with a non-instantaneous spirit ability. The target must be a valid choice for both the enhancement and spirit ability; you may only target yourself if you cannot target others. In addition, you may maintain concentration on the enhancement and the spirit ability with a single action.

Primal Admixture (Admixture) [3PP]

^{Source: Expanded Spheres: Baron's Lost Apocrypha}

Prerequisites: Destruction sphere (Admixture), Nature sphere.

Benefit: When using Admixture, you may spend an additional spell point to affect one target damaged by the destructive blast with a geomancing or spirit effect which targets a creature or applies to a creature in place of a second blast type. If you possess Environmental Presence or Grant Spirit twice, you may apply the effect to any targets damaged, up to your maximum targets from these talents. Alternatively, you may spend an additional spell point to center a geomancy effect which targets an area on the target’s square or another affected square.

Primal Blast (Dual Sphere)

Prerequisites: Destruction sphere (any (blast type) talent), Nature sphere (any package).

Benefit: When using a (blast type) talent from a blast type category corresponding to a geomancing talent you possess, you may add your casting ability modifier to any attack rolls and damage rolls of the destructive blast. If you do so, you do not modify attack rolls and damage rolls with your destructive blasts with your Strength modifier, Dexterity modifier, or any other ability score (if you have an ability that allows you to modify attack rolls and/or damage rolls with that ability score). On any individual attacks of which a destructive blast is being applied to a natural or weapon attack (such as with the Energy Strike talent or similar ability), Primal Blast instead modifies the attack and damage rolls of the natural or weapon attack (replacing any other ability modifier bonuses with your casting ability modifier as normal).

Geomancing Package	Blast Type Category
(Air) package	Air, electric, sonic
(Earth) package	Crystal, stone
(Fire) package	Fire, light
(Metal) package	Acid, electric
(Plant) package	Acid, force
(Water) package	Cold, crystal

Author's Note: When using the Primal Blast feat, you do not substitute an ability score's bonus damage (e.g. Strength, Dexterity) for your casting ability modifier, you instead do not gain your normal ability score as bonus damage and separately add your casting modifier. Effectively, the attack does not add the ability score and adds your casting modifier as a separate damage bonus. This differs from an unchained rogue's finesse training feature, which replaces Strength with Dexterity and then calculates normally. For example, when using the Destruction sphere Energy Strike talent with a 2 handed weapon, you would only receive your casting ability modifier as bonus damage and not 1.5x your casting ability modifier.

Smolder Resin

Prerequisites: Nature sphere ((fire) package and (plant) package).

Benefit: Your Pummel geomancing ability deals additional fire damage equal to your casting ability modifier with each hit that successfully deals damage.

Spirit Form (Dual Sphere)

Prerequisites: Alteration sphere, Nature sphere (any (spirit) talent).

Benefit: When you use shapeshift on a creature, you may also imbue the target with a non-instantaneous spirit ability. You must spend spell points as normal if required by the spirit ability, and when you apply a (spirit) talent to a target in this way, it counts against the number of traits you may grant with your shapeshift.

Steam Geomancing

Prerequisites: Nature sphere ((fire) package and (water) package).

Benefit: When using any Nature sphere ability that deals cold or fire damage, you may change the damage to half cold damage and half fire damage.

Supernatural Elements (Dual Sphere) [DbH]

The diverse powers of nature are yours to distort.

Prerequisites: Destruction sphere, Nature sphere.

Benefit: Whenever you create a geomancing or spirit effect, you may change its damage type to a damage type corresponding to a (blast type) talent you possess. Changing the damage type to one other than acid, bludgeoning, cold, electricity, fire, piercing, or slashing costs +1 spell point. If you possess the Admixture talent, you may pay the additional costs of Admixture as normal to apply multiple damage types to the geomancing effect or alter only half of the damage of the effect (with the other half retaining the original damage type of the geomancing effect). This does not allow you to apply effects besides damage from any effect used in the blast type or admixture (for example, you may not apply the saving throw penalties from Numbing Blast or an alter time ability from Time-Thief’s Admixture to a pummel attack).

Effects created with this feat operate as they normally would in spite of their altered damage type. For example, fire that deals acid or cold damage could still be smothered or doused with water to put it out.

Sylvan Necromancy (Dual Sphere)

Plant and animal matter are equally suitable focuses for your magic.

Prerequisites: Death sphere (Expanded Necromancy), Nature sphere.

Benefit: You can use your (plant) geomancing abilities on corpses instead of plants. In addition, you can reanimate dead plant life as zombies (or skeletons, if they are made of wood) with the grab special ability. These animated plants are treated as animated objects when determining their statistics, although they do not gain construction points. If you possess Hazardous Terrain, undead plant life and plant creatures you create add damage on a successful grapple attempt as if it were an entangle effect.

Terrain Focus (Drawback)

Prerequisites: Nature sphere, Terrain Casting drawback.

Benefit: You have learned to draw upon the nutrients in some terrain more easily than others, which powers your primal magics. Choose one of the following terrains: Cold, Desert, Forest, Jungle, Mountain, Plains, Planes (pick one, other than the Material Plane), Swamp, Underground, Urban, or Water. Gain a +2 insight bonus to caster level with the Nature sphere while using magic within the chosen terrain.

Special: You can gain this feat multiple times. Its effects do not stack. Each time you take the feat, it applies to a new terrain. You cannot gain this feat if you possess the Terrain Defiler feat.

Terrain Strider

Prerequisite: Nature sphere.

Benefit: You are much less affected by terrain that has been enchanted or magically manipulated to impede you, based upon what packages you possess. Gain a +4 circumstance bonus to saving throws against any Nature sphere talents or abilities from a package you possess.

Water Manipulator (Dual Sphere)

Prerequisites: Fallen Fey sphere (Water Creature (fey-blessing)), Nature sphere ((water) package).

Benefit: You gain the benefits of Water Creature as a (spirit) talent; you may use them at any time without needing to activate a fey-blessing first. The range of these abilities becomes equal to your geomancing range, and you may use the higher of your Nature (water) and Fallen Fey caster levels.

Wildspeaker [BaP]

Prerequisites: Nature sphere (Speak With Wildlife (spirit)).

Benefit: You gain the benefits of your Speak With Wildlife talent as a constant sphere-like effect, and may suppress or resume this ability as a standard action.

If you possess the Divination sphere, you gain the following (divine):

Entreat The Animals (divine): You may spend a spell point to divine for knowledge from nearby animals, asking one question with a call that can be heard up to a mile away as though speaking to them using Speak With Wildlife. Over the next minute, animals will reply and give you a general consensus answer to your question based on their knowledge. For example, you could ask if there is nearby drinkable water, directions to a nearby place, the location of hostile predators, and so on, and local animals will answer to their best ability. If there are no animals in range, this ability has no effect and you do not receive a response.

If you possess the Illusion sphere, you gain the following (glamer):

Alpha Presence (glamer): You may create a glamer that makes animals perceive the target as superior. The target gains an enhancement bonus on Handle Animal checks equal to 1/2 your caster level and the starting attitude of animals the target interacts with improves by one step.

If you possess the Mind sphere and Expanded Charm (or have the ability to use Mind sphere talents on animals), you gain the following (charm):

Nature’s Messenger (charm): You can employ animals to deliver messages. As a greater charm, you may spend a spell point to charm a target animal to deliver a message or object. You communicate to the animal a message and a certain location you know well, an obvious landmark, or a specific creature you identify. The animal gains the ability to speak any one language you know, gains a heightened intelligence to overcome simple obstacles, and can engage in simple conversation in order to deliver the message for the duration of this effect. The animal travels to the designated location to the best of its ability, and upon reaching its destination, conveys your message to nearby creatures or to the specified creature before leaving. You can also send the animal with an object or container that it is physically able to carry, delivering the contents upon arrival. This effect lasts for 1 day per caster level or until the message is delivered. If the animal cannot reach the destination within this time, the effect ends. An unwilling animal receives a Will save with a +2 bonus on their saving throw.

World In Miniature

Prerequisites: Nature sphere, Warp sphere (Extradimensional Room (space) or Extradimensional Storage (space)).

Benefit: The extradimensional spaces you create are not empty void, but instead a tiny world formed from your magic. This world generates naturally and consistent across all extradimensional rooms you create as well as your extradimensional storage. The elements of this world take up no space in an extradimensional storage. By increasing the action of geomancing by one step, you can simultaneously open a portal to your world to access the elements within. The world’s exact composition depend on the geomancing packages you possess:

Air: Your world possesses a breathable atmosphere and miniature storms. Each round, it produces enough air to sustain a Medium-sized creature or to create a single instantaneous use of air geomancing in an airless environment.

Earth: Your world is formed of soft soil and sand. You may use this soil and sand to generate things like dust storms if you possess that capacity, or you may open a portal beneath a target to form a solid earthen surface underneath them, to a maximum size of a 10-foot square.

Fire: Your world is rich in fuel and produces a constant flame. A Tiny-sized fire burns within it at all times. If it is extinguished, it reignites one round later if conditions permit.

Metal: Your world is shot through with veins of metal. You can use recover ore to extract a Tiny-sized piece of metal ore from your world each day.

Plant: Your world grows plantlife that produces enough food to sustain a Medium-sized creature for a day. These plants can be used for the entangle and harvest abilities any number of times per day, but they are not large enough to count as a tree.

Water: Your world contains rivers and oceans. It produces enough clean water to sustain a Medium-sized creature for a day. You may generate fog from this water any number of times per day, though it is not large enough to produce effects such as a vortex.

Spheres of Power

You can command the very terrain to do your bidding.

Geomancing [Core]

Geomancing effects come in two forms: instantaneous and concentration. Instantaneous effects have no duration, while concentration effects persist as long as the caster concentrates. The caster may always spend a spell point as a free action to allow the effect to continue for 1 round per caster level without the need for concentration.

When a caster gains the nature sphere, he chooses and gains one of the following geomancing packages, with its included abilities. A caster may gain the Expanded Geomancing talent to gain additional packages.

Air [Apoc]

The Geomancer's Handbook
$4.99

Sphere talents and abilities from the air geomancing package have difficulty being performed inside areas with windy conditions. If an air package effect is created inside a weather effect with a wind severity level greater than 2, you must pass a magic skill check against the creator of the weather effect (you automatically succeed in weather conditions you yourself create).

If the weather effect is naturally occurring (or otherwise lacks a magic skill defense), use the following values for the weather’s magic skill defense: MSD 12 for Strong, MSD 18 for Severe, MSD 25 for Windstorm, MSD 32 for Hurricane, and MSD 39 for Tornado. Succeeding the magic skill check doesn’t dispel the weather effect, but allows the air package to occur in spite of it.

Breeze

(concentration, requires air)

You create a light wind that remains swirling around its target. The breeze grants the target a circumstance bonus equal to 2 +1 per 5 caster levels on saves against very hot conditions, severe heat, and saves against clouds, vapors, and gases (such as cloudkill, stinking cloud, and inhaled poisons).

Gust of Wind

(instantaneous, requires air)

You may create a line-shaped gust of wind emanating out from you, affecting all creatures within range. The severity level of the wind is 3 + 1 per 5 caster levels (see the Wind category of the Weather sphere for more information).

Purify Air

(concentration, requires air, gas, or vaporous substance)

You may convert polluted air, or a non-breathable gas or vapor into a cloud of breathable air in a radius of 5 ft. + 5 ft. per 5 caster levels radius area centered within range. Creatures who are entirely within the area of the cloud are able to breathe in sufficient air to sustain them.

Earth [Core]

Bury

(Concentration, requires sand)

You shift the sands, swallowing targets within a 5 ft + 5 ft per 5 caster levels radius area centered within range. This functions as entangle from the plantlife package, but on a failure targets cannot move but do not become entangled. Each subsequent round they do not escape, the Strength and Escape Artist DC increases by 1. If a target is knocked prone within this area and fails their save, they begin to suffocate until they escape.

Tremor

(Instantaneous, requires dirt or stone)

You may spend a spell point to send a tremor through the ground, affecting a 5 ft + 5 ft per 5 caster levels radius area centered within range. This makes a trip combat maneuver check against every target within the area, using your caster level plus your casting ability modifier as your CMB. This does not provoke an attack of opportunity (except as usual for using sphere effects) and you cannot be tripped in return for failing this check.

Dust Storm

(Concentration, requires sand or loose dirt)

You kick up sand or dirt within a 10 ft + 5 ft per 5 caster levels radius area centered within range. All creatures fully within this area gain concealment (attacks against them have a 20% miss chance). If creatures within this area attack creatures outside this area, the targets also have concealment.

Fire [Core]

Manipulate Lava

(Instantaneous or concentration, requires lava)

You may manipulate lava. This is exactly the same as the vortex and freeze powers from the water package, except you must spend an additional spell point for each ability, and you must target lava. Frozen lava becomes obsidian, with a hardness of 5 and 3 hit points per caster level and does not deal damage per round to trapped creatures.

Create Fire

(Concentration, no requirements)

You may produce a Diminutive-sized magical fire that burns without fuel. This fire may be 1 size category larger per 5 caster levels, and may be used to ignite flammable materials to create self-sustaining, non-magical fire. If a target is within the area of the created fire, they suffer damage as normal for that fire’s size and catch fire. A successful Reflex save halves the damage and negates catching fire.

Affect Fire

(Concentration, requires fire)

You may affect a normal, non-magical fire, increasing or decreasing its size by one category, plus one per 5 caster levels. This is only a temporary change; once the effect ends, the fire returns to its normal size. The fire consumes fuel and deals damage as appropriate for its new size, according to Table: Maximum Fire Size. The minimum caster level required to affect a fire is also given in the chart. If two casters are affecting the same fire in the same direction (increasing or decreasing) only the strongest change occurs. If two casters attempt to affect fire in opposite directions (one making it bigger, one making it smaller), the second caster must succeed at a magic skill check.

Table: Maximum Fire Size

Minimum CL	Fire Size	Example	Damage per Round	Space
1st	Fine	Tindertwig	1	1/2 ft square
1st	Diminutive	Torch	1d3	1 ft square
1st	Tiny	Small Campfire	1d6	2.5 ft square
3rd	Small	Large Campfire	2d6	5 ft square
5th	Medium	Forge	3d6	5 ft square
8th	Large	Bonfire	4d6	10 ft square
11th	Huge	Burning Shack	5d6	15 ft square
15th	Gargantuan	Burning Tavern	6d6	20 ft square
20th	Colossal	Burning Inn	7d6	30 ft square
25th	Colossal+	-	8d6	50 ft square
30th	Colossal++	-	9d6	70 ft square
35th	Colossal+++	-	10d6	100 ft square

^{Examples: 2 adjacent Colossal-sized creatures or objects generally fit within a Colossal+ fire; 4 adjacent Colossal-sized creatures or objects generally fit within a Colossal++ fire; 8 adjacent Colossal-sized creatures or objects generally fit within a Colossal+++ fire.}

On a success, their ability functions normally, overlapping the first caster’s effect. The fire counts as its altered size for determining if the second caster can affect it. If a creature is on fire, treat that fire as being Tiny sized (1d6 damage) for the purpose of this effect. When you affect a fire on a creature, you also raise or lower the Reflex save DC to put the fire out by 1/2 your caster level (minimum: 0).

Metal

Recover Ore

(requires dirt or sand, instantaneous)

As a standard action, you may create a piece of metal ore by pulling and combining particles of metal from the ground. You must spend a spell point to use this ability, and must have a large enough piece of earth (sand or dirt) to pull the ore from. This piece of ore can be brass, bronze, copper, or tin, and the size of the ore recovered depends both on your caster level and the square footage of earth you pull from.

The piece of ore you recover is formed on the ground in an unoccupied space within Close range and can be of any basic shape (a ball, a rod, a sheet, even a chair) but cannot be anything complex or with moving parts. You may also pull multiple pieces of ore placed in different adjacent squares, so long as their combined size does not exceed your maximum, and each piece of recovered ore must be of the same type (such as copper or tin). For these purposes, 2 Fine-sized pieces of ore equals 1 Diminutive-sized piece, etc.

While this effect is instantaneous and thus cannot be dispelled, ore breaks back into particles after 1 hour per caster level. If a piece of ore is used as a weapon, it counts as an improvised weapon, dealing either bludgeoning, piercing, or slashing damage, chosen at the time of recovery. The damage such a weapon deals is listed as ‘ore damage’ in the chart below. As always, improvised weapons bestow a -4 penalty to attack rolls.

Metal Geomancing

Minimum Caster Level	Required Earth to Pull From	Ore Size Recovered	Ore Damage	Ore Weight (maximum)
1	1 ft cube	Fine	1	.8 lbs
1	5 ft cube	Diminutive	1d2	1 lbs
1	10 ft cube	Tiny	1d3	8 lbs
2	25 ft cube	Small	1d4	60 lbs
4	50 ft cube	Medium	1d6	500 lbs
8	75 ft cube	Large	1d8	4,000 lbs
16	125 ft cube	Huge	2d6	16 tons
32	350 ft cube	Gargantuan	3d6	125 tons
64	500 ft cube	Colossal	4d6	2,500 tons

Magnetize

(requires metal, instantaneous)

As a standard action, you may cause an unattended object consisting mostly of metal (whose size is not larger than your maximum recover ore size) to fly towards a creature or object of your choice within Close range. You may choose to throw the item harmlessly (in which case it can either be caught by the target or else lands in an adjacent square), or you may use this as an attack. This counts as a ranged attack, except you must use your casting ability modifier in place of Dexterity. If successful, you deal either the object’s ‘ore damage’, or if it is a weapon, the weapon’s damage (arrows and bolts with metal tips count as daggers for this purpose, dealing 1d4 damage). Despite the name of this ability, the target object or creature needn’t be made of metal.

Metal Talent Info

Minimum Caster Level	Object Size	Sample Item
1	Fine	Bullet, Lockpick or Nail
1	Diminutive	Bolt, Dagger, or Shuriken
1	Tiny	Candelabra or Mace
2	Small	Greatsword or Heavy Shield
4	Medium	Bed, Cage or Table
8	Large	Statue
16	Huge	Wagon
32	Gargantuan	Catapult
64	Colossal	Ship

Hardness and Hit Points of the various types of Metals

Metal	Hardness	Hit Points
Brass	9	20/in. Thickness
Bronze	9	20/in. Thickness
Cold Iron	10	30/in. Thickness
Copper	9	20/in. Thickness
Iron	10	30/in. Thickness
Lead	10	30/in. Thickness
Mithril	15	30/in. Thickness
Silver	8	10/in. Thickness
Steel	10	30/in. Thickness
Tin	9	20/in. Thickness

The Value of Recovered Ore: Ore recovered through the metal package from the Nature Sphere is of poor quality and degrades quickly, making it impossible to simply create and sell. However, players who possess a metal-based Craft of Profession skill such as Craft (weapons) or Profession (blacksmith) can heat and purify this ore to make it workable. This allows such a character to make Craft or Profession checks to earn a wage even without the presence of a market or workshop to work in. Rather than earning money, the check instead creates an amount of raw materials equal to that day or week's wage, which may be sold later or used as raw materials for any metal-based crafting.

Plantlife [Core]

Entangle

(Concentration, requires grass, weeds, vines, or underbrush)

You cause plants to grow rapidly, wrapping themselves around everything in a 5 ft + 5 ft per 5 caster levels radius area centered within range. Creatures within this area must pass a Reflex save or gain the entangled condition and become unable to move. Creatures that make their save can move as normal, but those that remain in the area must save again at the end of each turn you maintain the effect. Creatures that move into the area must save immediately. Those that fail end their movement and gain the entangled condition. Entangled creatures can attempt to break free as a move action, making a Strength or Escape Artist check against a DC equal to the effect’s Reflex save DC. This area is also considered difficult terrain for the duration of the effect. If the area contained plants with thorns, all creatures suffer 1 point of piercing damage each round they are within this area.

Growth

(Instantaneous, requires fruit trees, berry bushes, or food crops)

You may spend a spell point to cause plants to sprout food spontaneously. You may affect up to 1 plant per caster level within range. Each plant produces enough food to provide 3 medium-sized creatures or 1 horse with food for a day.

Pummel

(concentration, requires a tree)

You cause a tree branch to come alive and attack a foe you designate. The tree cannot move, but it makes one slam attack each round against the designated target until you spend a move action to designate another target or until the target dies or moves out of range. A tree branch cannot flank nor aid in flanking. You cannot designate a target you cannot perceive.

The tree has a Strength score equal to 10 + your caster level, and a to-hit modifier equal to your caster level + its Strength modifier + its size modifier. You may animate a Medium branch at 1st caster level, a Large branch beginning at 5th caster level, a Huge branch beginning at 10th caster level, a Gargantuan branch beginning at 15th caster level, and a Colossal branch at 20th caster level. An entire tree can count as a branch, provided the tree isn’t larger than your maximum pummel size.

Medium: 1d6 damage, 5 ft reach.
Large: +1 size bonus, 1d8 damage, 10 ft reach.
Huge: +2 size bonus, 2d6 damage, 15 ft reach.
Gargantuan: +4 size bonus, 3d6 damage, 20 ft reach.
Colossal: +8 size bonus, 4d6 damage, 30 ft reach.

Water [Core]

Blood Sphere note: If you possess both the Nature sphere water geomancing package and the Blood sphere, you may treat a volume of blood as an equal volume of water for your water geomancing abilities. You may treat a creature susceptible to bleed damage that is taking bleed damage or below half its maximum hit points as being wet for any ability that requires it. You may treat a creature susceptible to bleed damage of at least Large size (count two Medium creatures as a Large creature, two Small creatures as a Medium creature, etc.) that is suffering bleed damage or below half its maximum hit points as a sufficient volume to use the fog ability.

Vortex

(Concentration, requires a large body of liquid)

You may create a spinning vortex in a body of liquid that sucks creatures and objects to its center. This vortex is 5 ft wide at its base, is 10 ft high + 5 ft per 5 caster levels, and is half as wide at the top as it is high. Any creature entering this area must pass a Reflex save or suffer bludgeoning damage equal to 1d8 + 1/2 your caster level (minimum: 0). If the creature is smaller than the vortex, they must pass a second Reflex save or be pulled into the middle of the vortex. Creatures in the middle of the vortex suffer bludgeoning damage once per round with no save, and must pass a Reflex save each round or be unable to move, and on a success may only move at half their swim speed. A vortex cannot contain more creatures than would exceed its volume.

You may move the vortex up to 30 ft per round as part of the concentration check required to maintain it. If maintaining the effect through a spell point, you may designate a simple pattern for it to move, which you may alter as a move action. Creatures in the middle of the vortex are carried along with it as it moves.

Fog

(Concentration, requires rain, mist, or at least 5 cubic feet of water)

You call up a rolling fog, cutting off people’s vision within a 10 ft + 5 ft per 5 caster levels radius area centered within range. The fog obscures all sight, including darkvision, beyond 5 feet. A creature within 5 feet has concealment (attacks have a 20% miss chance). Creatures farther away have total concealment (50% miss chance and the attacker can’t use sight to locate the target). The ability does not function underwater. If using a body of water, the fog must be at least partially over the water itself.

Freeze

(Instantaneous, requires water)

You may spend a spell point to flash freeze water, turning it into ice. You may freeze a 1 inch thick, 5 ft by 5 ft square of water per caster level. Alternately, you may cover a wet medium-sized creature with 1 inch of ice per caster level. You may increase the size of the frozen area or size/number of the frozen creatures, but every extra medium-sized creature or extra 5 ft square divides the ice’s thickness in half.

Creatures smaller than medium count as medium-sized creatures for this effect, with the exception of multiple creatures occupying the same space. Add the sizes of multiple creatures occupying the same space together when determining their size for this purpose. For swarms, count each 5 ft square as being 2 medium-sized creatures occupying the same space. You may affect both squares and creatures, but all affected targets and spaces must be contiguous and must have the same thickness of ice.

Table: Creature Size

Creature Size	Equivalent number of medium-sized creatures
Fine	1/16
Diminutive	1/8
Tiny	1/4
Small	1/2
Medium	1
Large	2
Huge	4
Gargantuan	8
Colossal	16

Creatures are allowed a Reflex save to avoid being frozen. On a failure, they are encased and cannot move or act and suffer 1 point of cold damage per round per inch of ice. To escape, they must pass a Strength check or Escape Artist check as a full-round action to escape the ice (DC 15 + 1 per inch of thickness) or another creature must break the ice around the trapped creature (3 hp per inch). On a successful save, target is still entangled for 1 round. Ice melts 1 inch of thickness per minute on the average day.

Spirit [Core]

Some talents are marked (spirit). These talents give the caster ways they have learned to tune their spirit with nature. Each (spirit) talent grants the caster a new ability they may use as a standard action. These abilities only affect the caster.

Some talents are marked (air)¹, (plant), (water), (fire), (earth), or (metal)¹. You must possess the air, plant, water, fire, earth, or metal geomancing package respectively to gain a talent with its designation. Talents marked (geomancing) give you new geomancing abilities.

¹ SoP Wiki Note: These are not Core packages, and were instead added in supplementary products..

Nature Talents

Deep Nature [Apoc]

When you spend a spell point to make a geomancing ability last for 1 round per caster level without concentration, it lasts for 1 minute per caster level instead. When you spend a spell point to make a (spirit) talent last for 1 minute per caster level without concentration, it lasts for 10 minutes per caster level instead.

Expanded Geomancing [Core]

Choose and gain a geomancing package you do not already possess. You may select this talent multiple times, gaining a new package each time.

Grant Spirit

When activating one of your (spirit) Nature abilities, you may touch a willing target and grant them the benefit of your (spirit) talent, rather than gaining it yourself.

Greater Range [Core]

The range of your geomancing abilities increases from Close to Medium range. You may select this talent up to 2 times. Each time it is selected, the range increases by 1 step (Close to Medium, Medium to Long).

Lingering Nature

When you use the nature sphere ability that requires concentration, the ability continues to maintain itself for 2 rounds after you stop concentrating.

Nature Barrier

As an instantaneous effect, you may, as a standard action, spend 2 spell points to create a 5-ft tall barrier in a number of unoccupied 5-ft squares equal to your caster level. The walls must be placed on a flat surface and is a number of inches thick equal to 1/2 your caster level (minimum: Thin Sheet at 1/10th of an inch). You may choose to have the barrier to have a transparent (allows line of sight) or opaque (blocks line of sight) appearance, both of which block line of effect. Regardless of your geomancing or the appearance of the barrier, all the walls have a hardness of 0 and 10 hit points per inch thickness. The walls, while instantaneous proceed to lose hit points at the rate of 1 per hour. In addition, while the walls appear to be made out elements associated to their geomancing packages, they are only the manifested nature spirits of those elements and cannot be used for meeting geomancing prerequisites.

Nature’s Barrier

	Transparent Example	Opaque Example
Air	Mist	Cloud
Earth	Glass	Stone
Fire	Flames	Lava
Metal	Bars or Grate	Metal
Plantlife	Leaves	Wood
Water	Water	Ice

Shelter (geomancing)

As a concentration effect, you may spend a spell point to create a canopy made of natural life energy that can shelter an area equal to 1 5 ft cube per caster level, providing shelter to 1 medium creature per cube. Those under the canopy suffers no harm from being in a hot or cold environments. Those inside the shelter can exist comfortably in conditions between –50 and 140 degrees Fahrenheit without having to make Fortitude saves. The creature’s equipment is likewise protected. In addition, the shelter provides protection against other environmental hazards such as smoke, lack of air, and so forth; However, the vessel does not protect against any environmental damage such as cold or fire damage. The shelter also provides cover to those inside, blocking line of sight and effect against flying creatures. Hostile creatures cannot enter the canopy, but a successful attack against the canopy causes it to disappear unless the caster succeeds on an MSB check against a DC equal to the amount of damage dealt. Even when maintained by concentration, the canopy is stationary and does not move with the caster.

Spiritlord [Apoc]

When concentrating on a (spirit) talent, gain concealment (20% miss chance). Alternatively you may spend an additional spellpoint when concentrating on a (spirit) talent to gain total concealment instead (50% miss chance).

Air Talents

Absorbing Inhalation (air, spirit)

As a concentration effect, you may as a standard action grant your lungs inhuman strength and capacity, allowing you to harmlessly and completely inhale one gas, fog, smoke, mist, or similar cloud-like effect during the duration of the talent. The cloud-like effect can have no larger of a radius than 10 ft. + 5 ft. per 5 caster levels. If the targeted cloud is a magical effect, you must succeed at a magic skill check to inhale it. Inhaling the cloud removes it from the area, leaving normal breathable air in its place. Gaseous creatures gain a Reflex save to avoid being inhaled. This talent can only affect an instantaneous-duration cloud (such as a breath weapon) if you ready an action to utilize the talent in response.

You may keep the cloud harmlessly contained within you for as long as the talent remains active, but you must hold your breath do do so (even if you do not normally have to breathe).

If the cloud has a duration, the time the cloud is contained within you counts toward that duration (gaseous creatures are immediately and harmlessly exhaled should their gaseous form expire). As a standard action, you may release the stored cloud as a breath weapon, filling a 60-ft. cone (or the cloud’s original area, if smaller). Any creature in the breath’s area is subject to its normal effects, making saving throws and spell resistance checks as appropriate against the cloud’s original DC. The exhaled cloud resumes its duration, if any. Exhaling the stored cloud immediately ends the duration of this talent. If you do not exhale the cloud before this talent’s duration expires, you suffer the cloud’s effects, automatically fail any saving throw made to resist it, and exhaling any gaseous creatures inhaled.

Air Ball (air, spirit) (requires air) [Apoc]

As a concentration effect, you may as a standard action create a rideable sphere of compressed air, which supports your weight. While riding the sphere, you ignore difficult terrain that is less than 1 foot high, you do not trigger effects based on weight (such as a pressure plate), and any creature trying to track you through areas you crossed with this spell takes a -10 penalty on its Perception or Survival check to do so. While riding the air ball, you cannot pass over liquid greater than 1 foot deep. In addition, because of the instability of the sphere, your speed is reduced by 10 ft. (to a minimum of 5 ft.) and you take a -4 penalty on Acrobatics, Climb, and Ride checks.

Air Geyser (air, geomancing) (requires air) [Apoc]

As an instantaneous effect, you may as a standard action create a powerful blast of air capable of flinging a Medium-sized or smaller target within range upward into the air (Reflex negates). If the target fails its Reflex save, the force of air hurls the target upward a number of feet equal to 5 x your caster level. If a solid object (such as a ceiling) is encountered, the target strikes the object in the same manner as it would during a normal fall. After this blast of air ceases, the target falls down (unless it was flying), taking falling damage as normal. The maximum size of the target increases by 1 size category every 5 caster levels.

Air Leap (air) [Apoc]

As long as you are surrounded by air or some other gaseous substance, you are always considered to have a running start when jumping. You add your caster level as a bonus on all Acrobatics checks to jump, you jump twice as far or high as the results of your check indicate, and you can once per round as a free action spend 1 spell point when jumping to double the distance you jump again (to a total of four times as far).

Air Support (air, spirit) (requires air) [Apoc]

You may as a standard action spend a spell point to increase or decrease your movement speed by 10 ft. + 10 ft. per 5 caster levels (applying to all movement modes) for 1 minute per caster level.

Airlord (air) [Apoc]

You no longer need to make magic skill checks to use a Nature sphere talent or ability from the air geomancing package in areas with weather conditions of wind severity levels of 3 or higher.

Buffeting Winds (air, geomancing) (requires air) [Apoc]

As an instantaneous effect, spend a spell point as an immediate action to respond to the attack with calculated bursts of wind. If responding to a melee attack, gain a deflection bonus to AC against the attack equal to 1 + 1 per 5 caster levels. If responding to a ranged attack, gain a 10% miss chance against the attack, increasing by 10% per 5 caster levels. In addition, during the round in which this talent is used, you gain moderate fortification (50% chance to negate a critical hit or sneak attack). You must be aware of the attack to use Buffeting Winds.

Create Air (air, geomancing) [Apoc]

As an instantaneous effect, you may spend a spell point to create a cloud of air anywhere within range. This creates one 5-ft. cube per 2 caster levels (minimum: 1 cube) of breathable air. While this is its own geomancing ability, you may combine this effect with another air package geomancing ability as part of the same standard action, in which case the second geomancing ability comes into effect immediately. You must pay any costs associated with both abilities to combine them in this manner. The created cloud of air will immediately displace other gases, liquids, and vapors in the area, but will shortly thereafter behave as normal air. For example, if this talent is used underwater, the created air cloud will form a bubble that will begin to ascend to the surface.

Feather Fall (air, spirit) (requires air) [Apoc]

As a concentration effect, you may spend a spell point as an immediate action to cause you and your equipment to fall slowly, changing the rate at which you fall to a mere 60 ft. per round (equivalent to the end of a fall from a few feet), and you take no damage upon landing while the talent is in effect. When the duration expires, a normal rate of falling resumes.

Steal Breath (air, geomancing) [Apoc]

As a concentration effect, you may as a standard action spend a spell point to pull the breath from a living creature’s lungs within range, leaving it unable to speak, use breath weapons, cast spells with verbal components, or anything else requiring breathing (Fortitude negates). Each round, the target has the remainder of the duration for which it can hold their breath reduced by double the normal amount (a target taking only move, swift, or free actions loses 2 rounds of breath each round, while a target taking standard or full-round actions loses 4 rounds of breath each round). If, during the duration, the target moves out of range or line of effect from you, the effect immediately ends. For the purpose of this talent, a barrier from the Protection sphere breaks line of effect. This talent has no effect on creatures that do not need to breathe air.

Wind Blades (air, geomancing) [Apoc]

(requires air) As a concentration effect, you may as a standard action create an cloud of harsh winds affecting a 10 ft. + 5 ft. per 5 caster levels radius area within range. Any creature or object moving in the area must make a Fortitude save or take 1d6 points of slashing damage for the first 5 ft. of movement, plus an additional 1d6 points of slashing damage for every additional 10 ft. of movement. Movement that doesn’t pass through the air cloud (such as burrowing, swimming, or teleportation) doesn’t cause this damage. If cast in an area with wind severity level above 2, increase the damage die by 1 size accordingly (d8 for strong, d10 severe, 2d6 windstorm, 2d8 hurricane, 3d6 tornado).

Earth Talents

Earthlord (earth) [Apoc]

When determining the radius area of your earth geomancing abilities, increase the radius by 5 ft. per (earth) talent you possess.

Flying Debris (earth)

When you use the tremor ability, creatures who are flying up to 10 ft per caster level over the affected area must make a Fly check whose DC is equal to your combat maneuver check or fall to the ground. This fall does not cause falling damage, but does cause them to be affected by the tremor when they land.

Forge Earth (earth, geomancing) [Core]

As an instantaneous effect, you may spend a spell point to alter the ground within a 5 ft + 5 ft per 5 caster levels radius area within range. You may raise or lower the terrain up to 5 ft + 5 ft per 5 caster levels, and may create variants within the affected area such as summoning a small wall or creating gradients and stair effects. You cannot both raise and lower the terrain with the same use of this ability and cannot create variants in anything smaller than 5 ft squares (i.e., you cannot create 1 ft diameter holes or create a spike of earth). Targets within this area are not damaged by falling if you lower the terrain, and climbing up the edges of lowered terrain usually requires a DC 15 Climb check.

Foundation (earth, spirit) (requires dirt, sand, or stone) [Apoc]

While concentrating on any Earth geomancing ability, you gain a deflection bonus to AC and CMD equal to 2 +1 per 5 caster levels. Alternatively, you may as a standard action spend a spell point to gain these benefits for 1 minute per caster level. However, you temporarily lose these benefits on any round that you end your turn not standing on dirt, sand, or stone.

Granulation (earth, geomancing) [Apoc]

As an instantaneous effect, you may spend a spell point to spontaneously create loose dirt or sand in an area within range. You may reduce the spell point cost by 1 (minimum 0) if you choose to break apart rock and stone already present (reducing their thickness by 1 inch, +1 inch per 5 caster levels), instead of creating the dirt or sand spontaneously. The created sand or dirt is enough to cover a 5 ft. + 5 ft. per 5 caster levels radius area. While this is its own geomancing ability, you may combine this effect with another earth package geomancing ability as part of the same standard action, in which case the second geomancing ability comes into effect immediately. You must pay any costs associated with both abilities to combine them in this manner.

Collapsing Structures with Granulation: Generally speaking, single castings of Granulation on stone structures will not not be enough to compromise the structural integrity of a building. Should half of the structure’s load bearing columns, keystones, or walls be reduced to half thickness or less, a weakened area is created. Those who notice the weakened area (with a successful DC 20 Craft (stonemasonry) or Knowledge (engineering) check), may exacerbate the situation by destroying half of the structure’s load-bearing objects, triggering a cave-in or collapse. Rules for the cave-in and collapse hazard have been provided in the appendix for your convenience.

Melt Earth (earth, fire, geomancing)

As a concentration effect, you may spend 2 spell points and target a 5-ft space within range filled with sand, dirt or stone, transmuting the top portion into lava. Creatures who touch or otherwise enter the square with lava created with melt earth take 1d6 fire damage per caster level (Reflex half). Even after a creature leaves the lava, the creature continues to take the fire damage (Fortitude save for half damage) for 1d3 rounds. If this effect ends while a creature is inside the space affected by this ability, the earth instantly cools around the creature, immobilizing it (Reflex negates). An immobilized creature cannot move until it makes a successful Strength or Escape Artist check against the caster’s Nature DC, both of which require a full-round action. Alternately, another creature may attempt a Strength check as a standard action to break the earth, or any creature may deal 5 damage per caster level to the earth to break it.

Sandstone (earth, geomancing) (requires dirt or sand) [Apoc]

As an instantaneous effect, you may spend a spell point to transform dirt or sand into stone in an area within range. The size of the created rock or stone depends both on your caster level and the radius of dirt or sand you target. Alternatively, you may encase a dirt or sand covered target in 1 inch thick stone. Refer to Table: Sandstone to determine the maximum target size to be encased. For every size smaller the encased target is than the required radius of dirt or sand, either double the thickness of the stone or increase the number of encased targets. Creatures and objects are allowed a Reflex save to avoid being trapped in stone. On a failure, creatures or objects caught in the area are encased; To escape, they must pass an Escape Artist or Strength check (equal to your bury geomancing DC) as a full-round action; alternatively, a creature may break free by dealing sufficient damage to the rock or stone. Stone has a hardness of 15 and 2 hit points per inch. On a successful save, affected targets are still entangled and immobilized until they escape or 1 minute per caster level, whichever comes first.

Table: Sandstone

Minimum Caster Level	Required Radius of Dirt/Sand	Created Rock or Stone Size	Maximum Target Size	Encased Rock or Stone Weight (maximum)
1	1-ft. radius	Diminutive	Small	1 lbs
1	5-ft. radius	Tiny	Medium	8 lbs
2	10-ft. radius	Small	Large	60 lbs
4	15-ft. radius	Medium	Huge	500
8	20-ft. radius	Large	Gargantuan	2 tons
16	25-ft. radius	Huge	Colossal	16 tons
32	30-ft. radius	Gargantuan	Colossal+	125 tons

Speak with Stone (earth, spirit) [Core]

You may spend a spell point to speak with stones for 1 minute per caster level. This is not truly accomplished through speech, but rather by touching a stone you may learn what else has touched it, passed by it, what is hidden underneath it, etc. You can tell depth, weight, size, and number of passers by, but not more detailed information (the names or conversations of passers by, for instance). You can speak with both natural or worked stone.

Spikestones (earth)

When using tremor, you may have the shaken earth create stalagmite-like formations which last 1 round. Whenever a creature steps onto an affected square, make a touch attack roll against the target using your caster level as your attack bonus. If successful, the target suffers damage equal to 1/2 your caster level (minimum 1) which overcomes DR/magic. Any target damaged by the spikes has its speed reduced by half because its foot is wounded. This movement penalty lasts for 24 hours, until the creature is successfully treated with a DC 15 Heal check, or until it receives at least 1 point of magical healing. A charging or running creature must immediately stop if it enters a square with a spike. Any creature moving at half speed can pick their way through the spikes without trouble.

Stoneskin (earth, spirit)

You may spend a spell point as a standard action to gain DR/adamantine equal to 1/2 your caster level for 1 minute per caster level. Once this has absorbed damage equal to 10 per caster level, it immediately ends even if its duration has not expired.

Unearth (earth, geomancing) [Apoc]

As a concentration effect, you may manipulate the earth surrounding a creature or object forcing them to be pushed or pulled 5 ft. + 5 ft. per 5 caster levels each round toward the surface (Fort save negates). While affected, the target is unable to burrow or Earth Glide, but is otherwise unimpeded. You may only target a creature or object whose location you have pinpointed (such as with a successful Perception check or with tremorsense). Unless the target has Earth Glide, the creature cannot be forcefully moved through stone (or lava if the target possesses fire resistance 20+ or fire immunity), but rather only sand or dirt. Each round, the target is allowed a new Fortitude save to end the effect.

Whirlwind (earth, geomancing) [Core]

You may create a vortex out of sand or loose dirt. This is the same as a vortex made in water, except it travels over land. A whirlwind must remain in contact with the ground at all times, and may not fly.

Fire Talents

Boil Water (fire, water, geomancing)

As a concentration effect, you may, as a standard action, cause a 5 ft cube of water per 2 caster levels (minimum one 5-ft cube) within range to heat up and boil, dealing 1d6 per 2 caster levels (minimum 1d6, no save) Fire damage to any creature within. Each round at the beginning of your turn, any creature still within the boiling water suffers damage again. If a creature enters the boiling water, they immediately suffer damage, but only once during their movement, no matter how many times that movement takes them in and out of the boiling water.

Dragonlung (fire) [Apoc]

Gain a breath weapon. This breath weapon is either a 60-ft line or a 30-ft. cone as chosen at the time it is gained. The breath weapon deals 1d8 fire damage per 2 caster levels, and allows a Reflex save for half damage. The caster uses this breath weapon as a standard action, but must wait at least 1d4 rounds between uses.

Feed on Fire (fire, spirit) [Core]

You may spend a spell point to gain the ability to absorb energy from fire for 1 minute per caster level. You gain fire resistance equal to your caster level. Whenever you take damage from fire (whether or not it is enough to penetrate your fire resistance), you are healed an amount equal to 1/2 the fire damage dealt, to a maximum amount equal to 1/2 the fire resistance granted by this ability (minimum: 1). Damage dealt in excess of this amount is handled normally.

Fire Wielder (fire) [Core]

When using the create fire geomancing ability, you may encompass the fire around yourself. This accomplishes one of the two following feats:

1. You concentrate the fire around your hands. Rather than affecting an area, this allows you to be treated as armed when making unarmed strikes. In addition, you deal an extra amount of fire damage equal to your maximum create fire size with each unarmed strike. This does not cause targets to catch fire, nor grant you the ability to make extra attacks if you are maintaining the effect through concentration.

2. You place the fire around yourself as a mantle. This does not deal fire damage to yourself, but all adjacent creatures are damaged by your fire and suffer a chance of catching fire, as if they were within the area where the fire was created.

Firelord (fire) [Apoc]

When using create fire, you may count your caster level as 5 higher for the purposes of determining the size category of magical fire you can create.

Heat Metal (fire, metal, geomancing)

Requires metal. As a concentration effect, you may as a standard action heat up a piece of metal within your Nature range no larger than the size of ore that you may recover. Any creature who begins their round touching the heated metal takes 1d6 fire damage per 2 caster levels. If the heated metal is something they are holding such as a sword or coin, they may make a Reflex save to drop the item to take minimum damage, otherwise a creature is only allowed a Fortitude save for half damage (i.e. equipped metal armor that is targeted by this ability, only allows the creature wearing it a fortitude save). If the object is used as a weapon, it deals an additional 1d6 fire damage. If cast upon an unattended metal object with moving parts (such as a door with hinges), those pieces become non-functional, being partially welded together, requiring a strength check to beat your MSD to break loose and restore functionality.

Heat Metal may be used to dispel Chill Metal.

Melt Earth (earth, fire, geomancing)

Move Fire (fire, geomancing) [Core]

As a concentration effect, you may take a fire equal to or smaller than the maximum you may target with affect fire and move it up to 30 ft per round in any direction. A fire moved in this way continues to burn, even without fuel (although it may be drowned or extinguished otherwise as normal), and dies as soon as the effect ends if not moved to a new fuel source. If you have spent a spell point to make this ability self-sustaining, you must still focus as a move action to move the fire. When moving fire to a space occupied by a creature, that creature suffers the fire’s damage (Reflex half) and must pass a Reflex save or catch on fire.

Reflash (fire) [Apoc]

If a non-magical fire within range would become extinguished (through magical or mundane means), you may spend a spell point as an immediate action cause the fire to relight in a 15 ft. radius burst of flame dealing fire damage equal to the largest sized fire you can create. This can be used to re-ignite a character who has caught on fire and extinguished the flames. A successful Reflex save halves the damage and negates catching fire.

Ride the Flames (fire, spirit) [Apoc]

You may use heat waves to push yourself upward, granting a fly speed of 15 ft. + 5 ft. per 5 caster levels, with a maneuverability of clumsy for as long as you concentrate, or for 1 minute per caster level if you spend a spell point. This fly speed only functions on your turn (requiring you to spend separate actions for movement). If you are not on a surface that can support you on the end of your turn, you glide safely to the ground, at a speed of 60 ft. per round, taking no falling damage. Anyone using ride the flames cannot use its fly speed to hover.

Smokescreen (fire)

Whenever you use the fire geomancing affect fire ability to decrease the size of a fire, you may have it bellow forth smoke as an emanation effect. The smoke radiates outward from the fire 5 ft per caster level. Those inside the smoke have concealment from those inside and outside the smoke, those outside the smoke gain concealment, but only against those inside the smoke. If you spend an additional spell point, the smoke grants total concealment instead. The smoke, unlike the affect fire ability, lasts 2 rounds per size category the fire is decreased. A fire may be increased and decreased again to recreate the effect.

Smokewalk (fire, spirit) [Apoc]

You may spend a spell point to gain the ability to walk on fire or smoke for 1 minute per caster level. Fire and its byproducts (such as smoke) become solid to you, allowing you to move over it as if it were normal ground. You may always choose to sink into the fire or smoke if you so desire, in which case you gain concealment (20% miss chance). While under the effects of Smokewalk, you gain fire resistance equal to your caster level, and the ability to see through smoke and breath in smoke harmlessly.

Trail Blaze (fire, geomancing) [Apoc]

As an instantaneous effect, you may spend a spell point as a standard action create a wave of ash, hot air and smoke in 120-ft. line which reveals a safe path to traverse, allowing creatures to ignore difficult terrain within the affected area for a number of rounds equal to 1/2 your caster level (minimum 1). Creatures who are caught in the area of effect when first cast must make a Fortitude save or become exhausted, creatures that make their saves become fatigued instead.

Wreath of Flames (fire, spirit) [Apoc]

When an enemy within your reach targets you with an attack or a combat maneuver, you may as an immediate action cause flames to erupt from your body toward the triggering enemy, causing fire damage equal to your caster level, Reflex save for half.

Metal Talents

Acid Rain (metal, water)

Whenever you utilize the water geomancing fog ability, you may spend an additional spell point to cause creatures that begin within or enter the area of the fog effect to take 1d6 acid damage per 2 caster levels (minimum 1d6, no save). They suffer this damage when you first create the fog and each subsequent round they remain in the fog, taking damage at the beginning of your turn. Any creature who enters the fog immediately suffers damage, but only once even if they leave and re-enter the fog as part of their movement.

Altered Edge (metal, geomancing)

As a concentration effect, you may target a metal weapon within Close range as a standard action. The weapon either has its critical hit threat range increased or decreased by 1, increasing by 1 per 10 caster levels. This bonus or detriment is applied after abilities and feats such as Improved Critical or the keen weapon property, and cannot be doubled. If this would decrease a weapon’s critical hit threat range below 1, the weapon instead has its critical hit multiplier decreased by 1 for every point it is reduced below 1. (Minimum x1 crit multiplier.)

Arsenal (metal)

When using recover ore, you may spend an additional spell point to have the metal pulled form as a more finely shaped and hardier object. Weapons or tools you shape using the recover ore ability are no longer considered improvised weapons or tools and function in all ways like the object formed; you still may not form objects with complex moving parts.

Blade Barrier (metal, geomancing)

Requires metal. As a concentration effect, you may attach a piece of metal to a target creature, object, or 5 ft square. Any creature who enters the designated space or passes through a square adjacent to the target is attacked by the metal object, as if using the magnetize ability. A creature can only be attacked in this way once per turn during their movement, no matter how many times they pass through the affected squares. If a creature ends its turn within this affected space, or if the target moves to a new square, or creatures who begin their turn in an affected space are immediately attacked by this ability. The target is never attacked by the piece of metal attached to them.

Blade Whip (metal, geomancing)

Requires metal. As an instantaneous effect, you may as a standard action spend a spell point to reshape your metal weapon into a cable and perform a trip, disarm or sunder combat maneuver against a target within close range. You gain a bonus to the check equal to 1/2 your caster level (minimum 1). After the combat maneuver check has been resolved, your weapon returns to its original form.

Chill Metal (metal, water, geomancing)

Requires metal. As a concentration effect, you may as a standard action chill a piece of metal no larger than the size of ore that you may recover within close range. Any creature who begins their round touching the chilled metal takes 1d6 cold damage per 2 caster levels. If the chilled metal is something they are holding such as a sword or coin, they may make a Reflex save to drop the item to take minimum damage, otherwise a creature is only allowed a Fortitude save for half damage (i.e. equipped metal armor that is targeted by this ability, only allows the creature wearing it a fortitude save). If the object is used as a weapon, it deals an additional 1d6 cold damage. If cast upon an unattended metal object with moving parts (such as a door with hinges), those pieces become non-functional, being frozen over, requiring a strength check to beat your MSD to break loose and restore functionality.

Chill Metal may be used to dispel Heat Metal.

Expanded Ore (metal)

Whenever you use the recover ore geomancing ability, you gain the ability to recover ore of Iron, Lead or Steel. Upon reaching Caster Level 5, you add Cold Iron and Silver to the types of ore you may recover. At Caster Level 10, you gain the ability to recover Mithril ore.

Forged Reach (metal, geomancing)

Requires metal. As a concentration effect, you may as a standard action increase the reach of a metal weapon within range by up to 5 ft, +5 ft per 10 caster levels.

Heat Metal (fire, metal, geomancing)

Heat Metal may be used to dispel Chill Metal.

Hemoglobin (metal)

You no longer require large quantities of earth to use recover ore, instead, you may spend an additional spell point to target a living corporeal creature within your geomancing range. To use hemoglobin, make a ranged touch attack against the target, inflicting 1d2 Constitution damage to the target (Fortitude save for half damage). The dice size of the Constitution damage increases by 1 for every 5 caster levels. Regardless of the creature’s size or bodily composition, you recover ore of Fine size upon successfully hitting the target. While the name of this ability suggests the target must bleed or have blood, it is not necessary, the only requirement is that the creature be corporeal and living. Because the constitution damage occurs after the recovery of ore, if the target is immune to ability damage, you still recover ore of Fine size.

Manipulate Object (metal, geomancing)

Requires metal. As an instantaneous effect, you may, as a standard action, spend 2 spell points and target an unattended object (even non-metal objects) within close range. The target becomes fused with metal, permanently increasing or decreasing the hardness and AC of the object by 1, +1 per 5 caster levels. An object may only be under the effects of one manipulate object at a time, as each future casting dismisses and replaces the previous casting. This grants no further benefit or penalties due to the metals used.

Metallord (metal) [Apoc]

When you use the recover ore ability, you may create ore 1 size category larger than you otherwise could due to the maximum earth required or any CL restriction.

Oxidation Ray (metal, geomancing)

As an instantaneous effect, you may, as a standard action, spend a spell point to make a ranged touch attack against a metal object or metal creature. If the target’s size is one or more sizes larger than the size of ore that you can recover, the creature or object takes 1d8 damage per 2 caster levels (Fortitude for half damage), otherwise the target takes 1d8 per caster level (Fortitude for half damage). This damage overcomes any hardness the creature or object may have. If an object receives sufficient damage to destroy it, it instead becomes non-functional for 1 minute per 2 caster levels, before returning to the broken condition with half their maximum hit points.

Pin-Ball (metal)

You may spend an additional spell point when you use the magnetize geomancing ability as a weapon, if the attack hits, you may as a free action magnetize another creature within range and make an additional ranged attack at that creature. You may make a maximum number of additional attacks in this manner equal to your caster level, but if you miss once the pin-ball ability ends without any further attacks. You may not make ranged attacks with the pin-ball ability two or more times in a row against the same target.

Shrapnel (metal)

When you use the magnetize geomancing ability as a weapon, you may instead choose to deal bleed damage to the target equal to the corresponding ore damage.

Tough as Mettle (metal, spirit)

You may spend a spell point to gain the Stalwart ability for 1 minute per caster level. (If the target makes a Fortitude or Will saving throw against an attack that has a reduced effect on a successful save, she instead avoids the effect entirely).

Plantlife Talents

Aggravating Vegetation (plantlife)

Whenever you use the pummel geomancing ability, you may instruct the vegetation to focus on antagonizing its target instead of making a regular attack. The branch or tree makes an attack roll as an antagonize skill check against the target’s Psychology DC (14 + 1/2 HD + WIS modifier; or 14 + Sense Motive Bonus, if it is higher). Creatures who are of animal intelligence (1 or 2), or have been previously antagonized gain a +4 bonus to their Psychology DC. Both of these stack. Mindless creatures are immune to the effects of antagonize.

Antagonize is a mind-affecting effect. If you successfully beat the target’s psychology DC, the creature, instead of taking damage, gains the antagonized condition against the attacking vegetation. The antagonized condition remains for 1 round. The duration of this condition increases by 1 round for every 5 by which you beat your opponent’s Psychology DC. You may not use this ability if you would already deal no damage with your pummel.

Antagonized Condition: The antagonized condition appears in Ultimate Charisma, published and copyrighted by Everyman's Game, LLC.

Attacking Vegetation Under the Effect of Pummel

Players and Game Masters alike may require the armor class, hardness, and hit point values of the branches or trees affected by pummel. While particular species of vegetation may cause for variance in these values, the table below are some that are suggested which may be used should such a situation arise. Branches and trees under the effect of pummel are still objects and thus always fail saving throws. Branches as objects gain the broken condition if they lose over 50% of their hit points, and are destroyed when reduced to 0 hit points.

Trees animated through the enhancement sphere should not use these statistics, but rather those provided for animated objects.

Size	Example	Armor Class	Hardness	Hit Points
Medium	Secondary Branch or Sapling	7	5	5
Large	Primary Branch or Young Tree	6	5	15
Huge	Juvenile Tree	5	5	50
Gargantuan	Typical Adult Tree	4	5	150
Colossal	Massive Tree	3	5	500

Number of Branches Per Size Category of Tree

Tree Size	Number of Medium Branches	Number of Large Branches	Number of Huge Branches
Huge	1d4 (avg 3)	-	-
Gargantuan	3d4 (avg 8)	1d4 (avg 3)	-
Colossal	9d4 (avg 23)	3d4 (avg 8)	1d4 (avg 3)

Because trees are objects, it is recommended that destroying a branch also reduces the overall health of each larger branch and tree by an equal amount. For example, if a juvenile tree has 4 medium branches, then destroying all four would reduce the tree’s hit points by 20, leaving it with 30 hp remaining. In the case of a massive tree, destroying 1 medium branch would reduce 1 large branch, 1 huge branch and the colossal tree’s hit points by 5.

Barkskin (plantlife, spirit)

You may spend a spell point as a standard action to grow plantlife all over your body for 1 minute per caster level. This grants you a +1 enhancement bonus to natural armor, + 1 per 5 caster levels. In addition, in natural environments you gain a circumstance bonus to Stealth equal to 1/2 your caster level (minimum 1). You lose this circumstance bonus to Stealth in any round that it moves 5 or more feet.

Grow Plants (plantlife, geomancing) [Core]

As an instantaneous effect, you may spend a spell point to instantaneously grow plants in an area within range. This may create one tree (to a maximum size equal to that which you can control through the pummel geomancing ability) or a field of plants within a 5 ft radius + 5 ft per 5 caster levels area. This may create basic plants (corn, underbrush, ivy) but cannot create plants with inherent qualities (i.e., you cannot create rare herbs, etc.). While this is its own geomancing ability, you may combine this effect with another plant package geomancing ability as part of the same standard action, in which case the second geomancing ability comes into effect immediately. You must pay any costs associated with both abilities to combine them in this manner.

Mass Pummel (plantlife) [Apoc]

When using pummel, you may spend an additional spell point. If you do, you may affect an additional number of branches equal to 1 +1 per 5 CL.

Nauseating Fog (plantlife, water)

Whenever you use the water geomancing fog ability, you may spend an additional spell point to cause the cloud to become nauseating, in addition to its other effects. Each creature in the area of the fog must make a Fortitude save or gain the nauseated condition, making them unable to attack, cast spells, concentrate on spells, or do anything else requiring attention. The only action a nauseated creature can take is a single move action per turn. This condition lasts as long as the creature is in the cloud and for a single round after it leaves. Any creature that succeeds on its save but remains in the cloud must continue to save each round on your turn.

Plantlord (plantlife) [Apoc]

When using pummel, you may animate trees or branches one size category larger than you are normally able. When using Grow Plants, treat your CL as 5 higher for the purpose of determining the maximum tree size which you can create.

Ranged Pummel (plantlife)

When using the pummel geomancing ability, the tree branches may throw vegetation as a ranged attack instead of only making melee slam attacks. The attack is treated as a thrown weapon with a range increment equal to twice the tree branch’s reach. The attack roll and damage otherwise remain unchanged.

Sap Conglutination (plantlife)

Whenever you instruct the trees to attack with the pummel geomancing ability, you may choose to have the tree’s branches excrete a rubbery resin. If you would deal damage with pummel, you may forfeit dealing damage to instead have those hit by the attack become coated with sap which grants the fatigued condition until they remove it as a full-round action. If a fatigued creature becomes coated with sap, they then acquire the exhausted condition until they remove it with a full-round action. You may not combine this ability with any other ability that causes your pummel to deal no damage.

Speak with Plants (plantlife, spirit) [Core]

You may spend a spell point to gain the ability to speak with plants for 1 minute per caster level. You can communicate with normal plants and plant creatures and can ask questions of and receive answers from them. A normal plant’s sense of its surroundings is limited, so it won’t be able to give (or recognize) detailed descriptions of creatures or answer questions about events outside its immediate vicinity. The spell doesn’t make plant creatures any more friendly or cooperative than normal, and a plant may be stupid, cunning, or cruel as any other creature. If a plant creature is friendly, it may do some favor or service for you.

Spores (plantlife)

Whenever you instruct the trees to attack with the pummel geomancing ability, you may choose to have the tree’s branches release spore pods instead of making an attack. This targets a 5 ft burst within their attack range, causing all creatures within that area to make a Fortitude save or become sickened for 1d6 rounds. If a creature fails its Fortitude save against this effect while already sickened, it becomes nauseated for 1 round. The tree and the caster are both unaffected by these spores. You cannot combine this ability with another ability that causes your pummel to deal no damage.

Thorns (plantlife, geomancing) [Core]

You cause plants to grow spines and attack targets. This is the same as the entangle geomancing ability, except instead of making creatures entangled and unable to move, this effect deals piercing and slashing damage to them. Targets inside the area or who enter the area suffer 1 d6 damage +1 per 2 caster levels (Reflex half). Creatures who remain in the area suffer damage once per round at the end of your subsequent turns. This does not stack with any thorns already on the plants used in the effect. You may place an entangle and thorns effect on the same space.

Towering Growth (plantlife) [Core]

When creating an entangle or thorns effect, the effect grows tall enough to affect flying creatures as well. Creatures up to 10 ft per caster level over your entangle or thorns effects must pass a Reflex save or affected as normal. If they pass this Reflex save, they must still pass a Fly check (DC 15 + caster level) or be forced to fly at half speed while over the area.

When affected by an entangle effect, flying creatures are pulled to the ground by the plants and become unable to move. Flying creatures grabbed by an entangle effect become prone, but do not take falling damage.

Spirit Talents

Absorbing Inhalation (air, spirit) [Apoc]

You may keep the cloud harmlessly contained within you for as long as the talent remains active, but you must hold your breath do do so (even if you do not normally have to breathe).

If the cloud has a duration, the time the cloud is contained within you counts toward that duration (gaseous creatures are immediately and harmlessly exhaled should their gaseous form expire). As a standard action, you may release the stored cloud as a breath weapon, filling a 60-ft. cone (or the cloud’s original area, if smaller). Any creature in the breath’s area is subject to its normal effects, making saving throws and spell resistance checks as appropriate against the cloud’s original DC. The exhaled cloud resumes its duration, if any. Exhaling the stored cloud immediately ends the duration of this talent. If you do not exhale the cloud before this talent’s duration expires, you suffer the cloud’s effects, automatically fail any saving throw made to resist it, and exhaling any gaseous creatures inhaled.

Air Ball (air, spirit) (requires air) [Apoc]

Air Support (air, spirit) (requires air) [Apoc]

You may as a standard action spend a spell point to increase or decrease your movement speed by 10 ft. + 10 ft. per 5 caster levels (applying to all movement modes) for 1 minute per caster level.

Animal Friend (spirit) [Core]

You may spend a spell point as a standard action to cause animals to treat you as a friend for 1 minute per caster level. Indifferent animals (such as domesticated animals) become Friendly to you, while Unfriendly animals (such as wild animals) become Indifferent to you. This means that wild animals will not attack unless provoked, and you may make requests of animals, provided you may communicate with them (if you cannot communicate with a creature, only basic commands such as ‘go’, ‘come’, ‘fight’, or ‘stay’ may be communicated). This has no effect on animals who are hostile to you (such as those already in combat), and an animal with a master (such as an animal companion) will still attack if commanded to by its master.

Once during the duration of this ability, you may call the nearest animal of a particular type you designate (provided the animal’s CR is equal to or less than your caster level) to seek you out. The animal moves toward you under its own power, so the time it takes to arrive depends on how close an animal of the desired type is when you cast the spell. If there is no animal of that type capable of reaching you within this effect’s duration, you are aware of this fact.

Barkskin (plantlife, spirit)

Feather Fall (air, spirit) (requires air) [Apoc]

Feed on Fire (fire, spirit) [Core]

Foundation (earth, spirit) (requires dirt, sand, or stone) [Apoc]

Nature Sight (spirit)

As a concentration effect, you gain an extraordinary sense depending on geomancing packages you possess. Those with air geomancing gain cloudsight, earth geomancers gain earthsight, fire geomancers gain firesight, metal geomancers gain metalsight, plant geomancers gain plantsight, and water geomancers gain watersense, each with a range of close (25 ft. + 5 ft. per 2 caster levels). Those with the nature spirit drawback may choose any singular extraordinary sense listed here each time they use this talent.

Cloudsight (Su): You gain mistsight, except allowing you to only see through clouds of fog, mist, and smoke as if they were transparent. In addition, you don’t suffer miss chance from concealment or total concealment against creatures that are flying or have the air subtype provided they are within range of your cloudsight.

Earthsight (Su): You gain tremorsense, only allowing you to detect anything in contact with the same body of ground as you. In addition, you don’t suffer miss chance from concealment or total concealment against creatures that are underground or have the earth subtype provided they are within range of your earthsight.

Firesight (Su): You can see through flames, lava, and smoke as if they were transparent. In addition, you don’t suffer miss chance from concealment or total concealment against creatures that are on fire or have the fire subtype provided they are within range of your firesight.

Metalsight (Su): You gain the scent ability, except only allowing you to detect metal objects (including creatures wearing or carrying metal objects). In addition, you don’t suffer miss chance from concealment or total concealment against ferrous creatures or have the clockwork or robot subtypes provided they are within range of your metalsight.

Plantsight (Su): You gain greensight, except only allowing you to see through leaves, vines, greenery, undergrowth, and living wood as if they were transparent (you still cannot see through dead wood). In addition, you don’t suffer miss chance from concealment or total concealment against creatures that are entangled in plantlife or of the plant creature type provided they are within range of your greensight.

Watersense (Su): You gain tremorsense, except only allowing you to detect anything in contact with the same body of water as you. In addition, you don’t suffer miss chance from concealment or total concealment against creatures that are underwater or have the water subtype provided they are within range of your watersense.

Rejuvenation (spirit)

As a concentration effect, you may grant yourself fast healing equal to 1/2 your caster level (minimum 1). This fast healing only confers healing so long as you have 1/2 your maximum hit points or less (wounded or in critical condition).

Ride the Flames (fire, spirit) [Apoc]

Smokewalk (fire, spirit) [Apoc]

Speak with Animals (spirit) [Core]

You may spend a spell point to gain the ability to speak with animals for 1 minute per caster level. You can ask questions of and receive answers from animals, but the spell doesn’t make them any more friendly than normal. Wary and cunning animals are likely to be terse and evasive, while the more stupid ones make inane comments. If an animal is friendly toward you, it may do some favor or service for you.

Speak with Plants (plantlife, spirit) [Core]

Speak with Stone (earth, spirit) [Core]

Speak with Vermin (spirit) [Apoc]

You may spend a spell point to gain the ability to speak with vermin for 1 minute per caster level. This is accomplished less through speech, but more by pheromone exchange. Because information transmitted and received is limited, vermin will likely be unable to give (or receive) detailed responses or questions. Using this talent doesn’t make them any more friendly than normal. If a vermin is friendly toward you, it may do some favor or service for you.

Speak with Water (water, spirit)

You may spend a spell point to speak with water for 1 minute per caster level. This is not truly accomplished through speech, but rather by dipping a limb into the water you may learn what else has touched it, passed by it, what is hidden underneath it, etc. You can tell depth, weight, size, and number of passers by, but not more detailed information (the names or conversations of passers by, for instance). Because water is constantly moving, you can only receive information on things that have occurred less than 1 day per caster level ago. You can speak with both fresh or salt bodies of water. If attempting to converse with particularly large bodies of water, such as oceans, you can only aquire information from a portion of the body of water, to a maximum distance of 1000 ft +100 ft per caster level.

Stoneskin (earth, spirit)

Tough as Mettle (metal, spirit)

Vermin Friend (spirit) [Apoc]

You may spend a spell point as a standard action to cause vermin to treat you as a friend for 1 minute per caster level. Indifferent or domesticated vermin (such as the common honey bee or silkworm) become friendly to you, while unfriendly or wild vermin (such as monstrous scorpions or monstrous spiders) become indifferent to you. This means that wild vermin will not attack unless provoked, and you may make requests of vermin, provided you may communicate with them (if you cannot communicate with a creature, only basic commands such as ‘go’, ‘come’, ‘fight’, or ‘stay’ may be communicated). This has no effect on vermin who are hostile to you (such as those already in combat), and a vermin with a master (such as a vermin companion) will still attack if commanded to by its master.

Once during the duration of this ability, you may call the nearest vermin of a particular type you designate (provided the vermin’s CR is equal to or less than your caster level, or 1/2 your caster level in the case of swarms) to seek you out. The vermin moves toward you under its own power, so the time it takes to arrive depends on how close a vermin of the desired type is when you cast the spell. If there is no vermin of that type capable of reaching you within this effect’s duration, you are aware of this fact.

Waterwalk (water, spirit) [Core]

You may spend a spell point to gain the ability to walk on water for 1 minute per caster level. Water and all other liquid becomes solid to you, allowing you to move over it as if it were normal ground. Especially turbulent water (such as during a storm) may count as difficult terrain. You may always choose to sink into the water and swim if you so desire, in which case you are considered to have a Swim speed equal to your land speed, granting you all the usual benefits of a Swim speed, including a racial +8 bonus to Swim checks. This does not, however, grant you the ability to breath underwater.

Wild Instinct (spirit)

While concentrating on any Nature sphere ability, you gain the benefits of Uncanny Dodge. You may take this talent twice, upon taking this talent a second time, you also gain the benefits of Improved Uncanny Dodge using your caster level in place of class level to determine the minimum rogue level required to flank you.

Water Talents

Acid Rain (metal, water)

Boil Water (fire, water, geomancing)

Chill Metal (metal, water, geomancing)

Chill Metal may be used to dispel Heat Metal.

Create Water (water, geomancing) [Core]

As an instantaneous effect, you may spend a spell point to create water anywhere within range. This creates one 5 ft cube per 2 caster levels (minimum: 1 cube) of clean water. While this is its own geomancing ability, you may combine this effect with another water package geomancing ability as part of the same standard action, in which case the second geomancing ability comes into effect immediately. You must pay any costs associated with both abilities to combine them in this manner. This can allow you to even create vortexes that can move over land.

Nauseating Fog (plantlife, water)

Speak with Water (water, spirit)

Waterlord (water) [Apoc]

When using freeze, you may affect twice as many equivalent medium-sized creatures without affecting the thickness of the ice.

Waterwalk (water, spirit) [Core]

Wave (water, geomancing) [Core]

As an instantaneous effect, you may spend a spell point to create a surge in water that pushing targets in its wake. This surge may be created anywhere within range and may face any direction, but once created it travels in a straight line for a distance of 30 ft + 5 ft per 2 caster levels. This area may extend out of the water and onto land to a maximum of 10 ft + 5 ft per 5 caster levels. The wave created is 5 ft wide. The width may be doubled by halving the length. This may be done multiple times, but the length cannot become smaller than 5 ft. A target cannot be pushed back further than the wave’s length.

All creatures within the affected area are pushed as if by a Bull Rush combat maneuver, except it does not provoke an attack of opportunity. Use your caster level + your casting ability modifier in place of your CMB. If the target is on land and is successfully pushed by this ability, they must also pass a Reflex save or fall prone. If combined with Create Water, it may be created anywhere and may travel up to 30 ft + 5 t per 2 caster levels over land.

36	All creatures within close range of the caster must succeed on a Reflex save or catch on fire.
37	As an instantaneous effect, all crops and other food-bearing plants within close range of the caster immediately die.
38	The caster’s space lowers 5 ft. as the Forge Earth (geomancing) talent.
39	The metallic weapons of all hostile creatures within close range of the caster dull, causing them to deal bludgeoning damage for 1 minute per caster level.
40	The caster’s space raises 5 ft. as the Forge Earth (geomancing) talent.
41	All animals within long range must succeed on a Will save or have their attitude become shifted to helpful toward allies of the caster for 1 minute per caster level.

47	Ice forms around the feat and limbs of all creatures within close range of the caster, who must succeed on a Reflex save or be entangled and unable to move. In addition, each affected creature’s square becomes slick with ice and counts as difficult terrain. Breaking free of the entangled condition is a move action, requiring either a Strength check or Escape Artist check against the triggering effect’s save DC. A creature may also destroy the ice on a creature or square by dealing 3 points of damage per caster level to the ice. This removes the entangled condition from the creature and destroys the difficult terrain. The ice melts after 1 minute.

58	Roll again on the Universal wild magic table.
59	All leaves within long range of the caster change color to bright pink for 1 day per caster level.
60	For 1 hour per caster level, all plants become enamored of the caster. All plant creatures are helpful to the caster, and if any plant is capable of movement or is animated such as through the pummel ability, they will attack the caster’s enemies if at all possible, ignoring all other targets. These creatures will follow the caster and refuse to stay away, attempting to touch the caster at all times if possible.
61	(Combat) A sphere of water envelops the caster, forming a vortex around him, which remains for 1 round per caster level.

65	Effect receives a -4 penalty to caster level (minimum 1).
66	As an instantaneous effect, for 1 round per caster level, flowers sprout from the casters footsteps. These flowers are random wildflowers suitable to the environment if possible and have no intrinsic properties.
67	All hostile creatures within close range of the target or center of the target area must succeed on a Reflex save or catch on fire.
68	All flames within long range of the caster decrease 1 size for 1 round per caster level.
69	For 1 hour per caster level, the nearest creature of the animal type (within 1 mile) becomes friendly towards the caster, seeking him out and obeying all commands to the best of its ability. This does not make the animal trained, but even wild animals can be protective of the caster and attack those who are hostile towards him.
70	All non-magical fires within long range of the caster are extinguished.
71	For 1 round per caster level, the caster is polymorphed into an earth elemental as the Elemental Transformation talent of the Alteration sphere, granting only the elemental resistance (acid) ability as a trait. This overrides any polymorph effects currently active on the caster.
72	Ice forms around the feat and limbs of the caster who must succeed on a Reflex save or be entangled and unable to move. In addition, the caster’s square becomes slick with ice and counts as difficult terrain. Breaking free of the entangled condition is a move action, requiring either a Strength check or Escape Artist check against the triggering effect’s save DC. A creature may also destroy the ice on a creature or square by dealing 3 points of damage per caster level to the ice. This removes the entangled condition from the creature and destroys the difficult terrain. The ice melts after 1 minute in normal conditions.

74	All creatures within close range of the target or center of the target area must succeed on a Reflex save or fall prone as the ground shakes.

76	All plants within close range gain the ability to speak common for 1 day per caster level. The plants talk incessantly and will discuss anything and everything they can, but they do not gain increased intelligence to give them a variety of topics.
77	(Combat) Blocks of ice (5-ft. cubes) instantaneously form in each empty space adjacent to but not directly above the caster.
78	The effect fails and the action is lost. Spell points or spell slots are lost.
79	The caster takes untyped nonlethal damage equal to caster level. This damage does not force concentration checks to cast or maintain sphere effects or spells.
80	For 1 round per caster level, the caster is polymorphed into an air elemental as the Elemental Transformation talent of the Alteration sphere, granting only the elemental resistance (electricity) ability as a trait. This overrides any polymorph effects currently active on the caster.
81	For 1d6 rounds, all water within close range of the caster freezes. Any creature in contact with water must pass a Reflex save or be trapped.
82	For 1 round per caster level, the caster is polymorphed into a plant creature as the Plant Transformation talent of the Alteration sphere, granting only the +2 natural armor bonus ability as a trait. This overrides any polymorph effects currently active on the caster.
83	The casting time increases by 2 steps.
84	The metallic armor of all creatures within close range of the target or center of the target area sprout spikes, granting them armor spikes or increasing the damage dice of existing armor spikes by one size but also increasing the armor’s ACP by 2 and the ASF by 10%. This lasts for 1 minute per caster level.
85	The spell point cost of the effect increases by 1d4. If the caster does not have enough spell points, he is instead dazed until the end of his next turn.
86	All animals within close range benefit from the Logos talent for 1 minute per caster level.

90	The effect fails and the action is lost. Spell points or spell slots are not lost.
91	The caster loses access to this sphere for 1d6 rounds.

93	As an instantaneous effect, any bodies of water within long range raise 2 ft. or double in volume, whichever comes first. Canteens, pots, and other containers overflow as the amount of water in them doubles. The water levels will be restored to their natural level over time by drainage, evaporation, etc.
94	A sphere of water envelops a random creature within close range of the caster, forming a vortex around it, which remains for 1 round per caster level.

97	(Combat) The caster is stunned for 1 round.
98	As an instantaneous effect, poison ivy grows in a 5-ft. radius + 5 ft. per 5 caster level around the caster.
