Your next Unarmed or Weapon Strike this turn gains a Status Bonus to damage equal to the number of Damage Dice. That strike gains the same trait as your spellcasting tradition, and the bonus damage is the same as the damage dealt by the spell. If the spell dealt no damage, this bonus damage is instead the same as your Planar Die's damage type.

You've taught yourself a unique method of manipulating your Planar Energies into a benevolent form, rather than aggression. Add the Heal Spell to your Repertoire, and it gains the trait that would trigger your Planar Charge (For Example, Fire if you are a Fire Conduit, or Plant if you are a Wood Conduit)

You unleash a surge of Planar force into your attack, but weaken your planar connection as a cost. Make a Strike. If it hits, treat your Planar Damage Die as if it's one step higher for the damage roll.

You make a wide, arcing swing. Make a single melee Strike and compare the attack roll result to the ACs of up to two foes, each of whom must be within your melee reach and adjacent to the other.

You put all your focus into mantaining the strength of your Planar connection,but leave yourself open to attacks as a result. You become Off Guard to all enemies until the start of your next turn and roll a DC 10 flat check. If you succeed, your Planar Damage Die stays the same size. Increase the DC of this check by 3 each time you use this ability. The DC resets during your daily preparation.

You create a surge of planar energy as your foe falls. Each creature other than you adjacent to the triggering foe takes damage equal to one of your Planar Die (Basic Reflex Save against Spell DC). This damage increases to two planar die at 11th level, and 3 at 16th. This Feat gains the same trait as your Spellcasting tradition

Leads Into: Chain Burst

When you invoke the Plane of Earth, you become as sturdy as the stones you channel. While Possessed, You ignore Difficult and Hazardous terrain made of earth and stone, and you may add your Charisma mod to any checks you make against being Pushed, Pulled, or Knocked Prone.

Each creature in the area must attempt a basic Reflex save against your Spell DC.

You conjure duplicates of your weapon, natural or otherwise, from the Plane of Elemental Metal, and strike from all angles to leave your foe off guard.

You use your connection to the Netherworld to form new passages across the battlefield. You disappear into the Dim light or Darkness, moving though the Plane of Shadows to reappear from the shadow of a creature or object within range, or a location shrouded in Dim light or Darkness, into the nearest empty space. Any creature adjacent to where you reappear is Flat-Footed to your next attack this turn.

You open a short-lived rift to the Astral Plane with a sudden swipe. Each creature in a 30 foot Line takes 1d8 Force Damage for each level you have (Basic Reflex save against your Spell DC). If you used this ability in the last hour, the area and the damage are halved (15 foot Line; 1d8 for every two levels)

You have opened your senses to the world beyond. You gain spiritsense as an imprecise sense with a range of 60 feet. Spiritsense enables you to sense the spirits of creatures, including living creatures, most non-mindless undead, and haunts within the listed range. As with your hearing and other imprecise senses, you still need to Seek to locate an undetected creature. As spiritsense detects spiritual essence, not physical bodies, it can detect spirits projected by spells such as project image or possessing otherwise soulless objects. It can't detect soulless bodies, constructs, or objects, and like most senses, it doesn't penetrate through solid objects.

You channel some of your Planar Influence into an ally. While you are Possessed, one willing creature within 30 feet gains the effects of the Planar Possession action using your Planar Influence, except with a Planar Die of 1d4.

When attempting a High Jump or Long Jump during a Sudden Leap, determine the DC using the Long Jump DCs, and increase your maximum distance to double your Speed.

Your attack can ground an airborne foe. Make a Strike. If it hits and deals damage to a flying target, the target falls up to 120 feet. The fall is gradual enough that if it causes the target to hit the ground, the target takes no damage from the fall. If the attack is a critical hit, the target can't Fly, Leap, levitate, or otherwise leave the ground until the end of your next turn.

Your Planar Influence spills forth from you, altering the world around you. At the end of your turn, each creature within 5 feet of you takes damage equal to your Charisma mod, of the same type as your Planar Damage Die. Additionally, those spaces count as difficult terrain for all other creatures as the material plane warps around your Planar Influence.

You channel some of your focus into your Planar Influence, and gain the benefits of your Planar Charge as if you had cast the triggered spell.

You merge your magic and martial abilities into a single flurry of action. Make a Weapon or Unarmed Strike, then Outburst. If Strike hit and dealt damage, and the target of the Strike is also in the area targeted by Outburst, the target of the strike gets one degree of success less than it rolled on the save for Outburst. Each time you use this Action, increase the DC of Outburst's Flat check by two until you spend at least 10 minutes recentering yourself with your Planar Influence

Your Outburst is stronger, but also harder to control. Increase the damage dice of Outburst by one stage. The DC of Outburst's Flat Check increases by 2 as well.

You siphon some of the excess power from your Outburst into a follow-up attack. Outburst, then Make a Weapon or Unarmed Strike. For the purposes of this Strike, your Planar Die is one step higher than normal.

You've learned to siphon off the energy of a successful Burst to potentially start another. If your Burst also kills or knocks a target unconscious, you may Burst again as a free action from the new targets location. You can continue taking these free actions until you trigger a Burst that does not kill or knock a creature unconscious.

You release a blast of planar energy at the last second, cushioning your landing and potentially damaging your foes. Treat the fall as 10 feet shorter. You land on your feet.

You've unlocked the secrets of your Planar Influence. You gain the Greater Planar Spell associated with your Planar Influence. Increase the number of Focus Points in your Focus Pool by 1.

You channel your Planar Influence into a blow that shakes the spaces between planes. Make a Weapon or Unarmed Strike on a creature in your reach, or your first Range Increment. On a hit, add an additional Planar Damage Die to your damage, and then every square in a 5 foot burst centered on a corner of the space the target is in becomes dangerous terrain based on your Planar Influence for one minute. Your Planar Damage Die then decreases by one step until you spend at least 10 minutes re-entering yourself.

You've learned how to better control your chaotic magic, somewhat. Roll on the Planar Cascade Table a second time, and choose which result you wish to take.

You can feed energy from your Planar Influence with barely a thought. You immediately Sustain a Spell that can be Sustained.

Your focus recovers faster. Whenever you Refocus, completely refill your Focus Pool.

You have a literal sixth sense for ambient magic in your vicinity. You can sense the presence of magic auras as though you were always using a Rank 1 detect magic spell. This detects magic in your field of vision only. When you Seek, you gain the benefits of a 3rd-level detect magic spell on things you see (in addition to the normal benefits of Seeking). You can turn this sense off and on with a free action at the start or the end of your turn.

You can sustain yourself on nothing but the energy of your Planar Influence. You gain a +2 status bonus to saving throws against poisons, sleep, and effects that would make you paralyzed. You don't need to breathe, eat, or sleep, though you must still take a full night's rest every 24 hours to be able to make your daily preparations. During this time, you remain awake and alert, but you must spend the time meditating or attuning to your Planar Influence rather than engaging in other complex activities. Each Conduit attunes in their own individual way.
