Ultimate Spheres of Power
$29.99
An armorist who takes to heart that the battle is not won through strength of arm, but by skill and strength of mind, accepts the first tenet of the path of the soaring blade. By mastering telekinesis alongside the magic of an infinite armory, the soaring blade becomes a one-man army.
Weapon and Armor Proficiency
A soaring blade is proficient with simple and martial weapons and light armor. This replaces the normal armorist weapon and armor proficiency.
The Soaring Blade
A soaring blade gains the Telekinesis sphere as a bonus talent and uses her soaring blade level as her caster level with the Telekinesis sphere. However, she also gains the Limited Telekinesis drawback, selecting her bound equipment and summoned equipment as her ‘material’. She may buy off this drawback normally by spending a magic talent, but she may only use her class level as her caster level in situations where this drawback would apply. If she already possesses this sphere, she does not gain this drawback (instead of gaining the bonus Telekinesis magic talent a character would normally receive for having a duplicated sphere).
Summon Equipment (Su)
When a soaring blade summons equipment, she may conjure them anywhere within her telekinesis range. A soaring blade may not summon shields or armor.
This alters summon equipment.
Bound Equipment (Su)
A soaring blade may summon her bound equipment anywhere within her telekinesis range, and equipment lifted by a soaring blade’s telekinesis counts as being in her hands, and does not disappear. A soaring blade may not bind shields, armor, or implements.
This alters bound equipment.
Steel Sentries (Su)
At 3rd level the soaring blade gains the Dancing Weapon talent as a bonus talent. If she already possesses the Dancing Weapon talent or - if gained through this class feature - later spends a magic talent, she adds her casting ability modifier to the number of additional attacks of opportunity she may make, but only with a weapon she has lifted with her telekinesis.
At 7th level and every four levels thereafter the soaring blade gains the ability to make an additional attack of opportunity each round, to a maximum of + 4 at level 19.
This ability counts as the Combat Reflexes feat for the purposes of prerequisites.
This ability replaces armor training.
House of Blades
At 5th level, a soaring blade gains Divided Mind as a bonus Telekinesis talent and Group Summons as a bonus arsenal trick. If she already possesses either of these, she may gain a different talent or arsenal trick, respectively.
This replaces bind implement.
Arsenal Tricks
The soaring blade cannot select the heavy armor, movement, or tower shield arsenal tricks. She gains exclusive access to the following arsenal tricks:
This alters arsenal tricks.
Blade Swarm (requires soaring blade 4)
The soaring blade’s blades whirl around her enemies from all directions, their speed and ferocity limited only by the imagination of her wielder. When using Divided Mind to make multiple attacks, she may make an additional attack at her highest attack bonus.
Blade Wheel (requires soaring blade 4, Telekinesis sphere (Orbit))
The soaring blade forms a ring of blades around her that menace all comers. So long as she has at least one weapon in her orbit she may make a single attack of opportunity against one opponent within the reach of her orbiting weapons at the start of her turn. She must make this attack of opportunity with a weapon in her orbit.
Commander On High (requires soaring blade 8)
The soaring blade commands and directs her steel soldiers from above, drifting beyond the battlefield. She gains Flight as a bonus talent, and treats herself as a summoned weapon for the purposes of using and determining her caster level for telekinesis. This stacks normally with caster levels gained from other sources.
Flying Daggers
Items summoned with her bound equipment and summon equipment features count as one size category smaller for the purposes of her telekinesis size limit.
Phantasmal Barrage (Sp) (requires soaring blade 6)
Rather than summoning a single magic weapon, the soaring blade can call up flickering, fragile blades that last only for a moment, but with her telekinetic powers she makes that moment enough. By spending two spell points as a standard action, she may deal 1d6 slashing and piercing damage per caster level to all creatures in an area equal to one 5-foot cube per caster level, arranged contiguously within her telekinesis range. A successful Reflex save (DC 10 + 1/2 her caster level + her casting ability modifier) halves this damage. This damage overcomes damage reduction as if it was magic and made of all materials she can make summoned equipment out of. Use her soaring blade level as her caster level for the purposes of this arsenal trick. This stacks normally with caster levels gained from other sources.
Protokinesis Feat
The soaring blade may select a protokinesis feat as a bonus feat. She must meet the prerequisites for this feat. This arsenal trick can be taken several times. Each time it is selected, she chooses another protokinesis feat.
Storm of Blades (Su) (requires soaring blade 16)
Exerting the soaring blade’s magic to its fullest extent, she creates a storm of blades that devastates her enemies. By spending two spell points and concentrating on her telekinesis as a full-round action she doubles the attacks she can make with Divided Mind in a round as if she were capable of taking two separate full attack actions.
Telekinetic Shieldbearer
The soaring blade gains proficiency with all shields (except tower shields) and may summon a shield with the summon equipment ability, or choose a shield as bound equipment.
Weapon and Armor Proficiency: A soaring blade is proficient with simple and martial weapons and light armor.
This replaces the normal armorist weapon and armor proficiency.
The Soaring Blade: A soaring blade gains the Telekinesis Sphere as a bonus talent and uses his armorist level as his caster level with the Telekinesis Sphere. However, he also gains the following sphere specific drawback:
Weapon Specialist: You may only use your telekinesis on weapons or equipment you have made with your Summon Equipment and Bound Equipment class features.
You may buy off this drawback normally by spending a magic talent, but you may only use your class level as your caster level in situations where this drawback would apply. If you already possess this sphere or would later gain it as a bonus talent, you may treat this drawbacks as if it has already been bought off.
Summon Equipment (Su): When a soaring blade summons equipment, he may conjure them anywhere within their telekinesis range. A soaring blade may not summon or bind shields, and does not gain the ability the summon armor at 5th level.
This alters Summon Equipment.
Bound Equipment (Su): A soaring blade may summon their bound equipment anywhere within their telekinesis range, and equipment lifted by a soaring blade’s telekinesis counts as being in his hands, and does not disappear. A soaring blade may not have a bound shield, and does not gain the ability to summon armor at 5th level or a staff at 10th level.
This alters Bound Equipment.
Steel Sentries (Su): At 3rd level you gain the Dancing Weapon talent as a bonus talent.
At 7th level and each four levels thereafter you gain the ability to make an additional attack of opportunity each round, to a maximum of + 4 at level 19.

If you already possess the Dancing Weapon talent or later gain it, you add your casting ability modifier to the number of additional attacks of opportunity you may make.
This ability replaces Armor Training.
House of Blades: At 5th level, a soaring blade gains the Divided Mind talent as a bonus talent. If you already possess the Divided Mind talent, you may select a different talent from the Telekinesis Sphere as a bonus talent. In addition, you may summon multiple pieces of equipment at the same time. You must be able to lift all summoned equipment simultaneously, and you must still pay spell points normally for each piece of equipment summoned with your Summon Equipment feature.
At 10th level, a soaring blade gains the Orbit talent as a bonus talent. If you already possess the Orbit talent, you may select a different talent from the Telekinesis Sphere as a bonus talent.
