Class: Stormbound, Vizier

Slot: Wrist, Shoulders

Saving Throw: None

Essence flows through your arms up to your shoulders, your limbs becoming the polished stone of a shaitan.

Shaping this veil causes your arms to take the form of stone and flowing sand, increasing your natural reach with your arms by 5 feet. This ability does not stack with other veils or spells that increase your natural reach, such as the long arm spell, but does stack with an increase in reach through size category increases, or feats such as Lunge.

Additionally, you gain a +1 insight bonus on melee attack rolls, melee damage rolls, and a +2 insight bonus on opposed Strength-based checks if both you and your foe are touching the ground. You take a –4 penalty on attack and damage rolls against airborne or waterborne opponents.

Essence: For each point of essence invested in this veil the insight bonus to opposed Strength-based checks increases by 1. Every 2 points of essence invested in this veil increases the natural reach of your arms by an additional 5 feet and the bonus to attack and damage rolls increases by 1.

Chakra Bind (Wrist): [St8, Vi8] Binding this veil to your Wrists chakra allows your arms to surge outwards in a whirlwind of sand and blades as a full-round action, allowing you to make one melee attack roll against each enemy within your reach. You must make a separate attack roll against each enemy.

Chakra Bind (Shoulders): [St10, Vi10] Binding this veil to your Shoulder chakra allows you to pass through earth and stone as if it were water. You gain a burrow speed of 10 feet, plus 5 feet per essence invested in this veil. You gain the earth glide universal monster ability, allowing you to pass through stone, dirt, or almost any other sort of earth except worked stone and metal as easily as a fish swims through water. If you are protected against fire damage, you can even glide through lava. Your burrowing leaves behind no tunnel or hole, nor does it create any ripple or other sign of your presence.
