Alchemical goods produced in this manner are partially insubstantial and cannot be sold. They persist until you replenish your essence pool.

Whenever you initiate germination with a soulsown with this talent, you may create a single copy of any alchemical good you normally gain when creating your alchemical cache as a free action.

Prerequisite: Know the magic jar spell

Once per day whenever you cast the magic jar spell, you may take refuge within the fabric of your soulsown, treating it as the spell’s required receptacle.

Temple Echoes (Sp)

Compatible Seeds: Divine

Prerequisite: Gloriana, reaper level 6th

You learn the 1st-level domain spell associated with the domain you chose with the gloriana talent.

For each talent known in the list below, you learn the spell of the next-higher spell level. For example, if you know one talent in the list below, you also know the chosen domain’s 2nd-level spell, while knowing three talents grants you knowledge of the 2nd through 4th-level spells from that domain.

The Waiting Room (Su)

Compatible Seeds: Divine

Prerequisite: Know the speak with dead spell

Whenever a living creature within 60 feet dies, you may send a facsimile of its soul to spend time with your soulsown, a sort of “waiting room” for the dearly departed, as it were. Your waiting room has a capacity of one soul, so you must allow your stored soul to go free if you wish to send another soul to the waiting room. Unless released in this manner, a soul remains in your custody until the next time you replenish your essence pool. You may cast the speak with dead spell on souls in your waiting room without the need to target that creature’s corpse.

This talent stores a copy of a creature’s soul, and not the soul itself, so it doesn’t interfere with magic that interacts with souls, such as trap the soul or raise dead.

Sidebar: Totems

Totems, immobile deployables into which a reaper can channel spells, are a mechanic of the primal seed, and comprise an attempt to give the seed unique functionality given its lack of access to bloodlines, domains, and piles of feats, which make the other seeds functionally infinite in their possible scope. There are several different kinds of totems, and each interacts with magic in a different way. Some simply radiate the aura of a beneficial spell cast into it, while
others sit back and dump lightning bolts onto the field of battle. The following rules are common to all reaper totems (soulsown talents with “totem” in their name).

Whenever you cast a spell on the druid spell list that is compatible with one of the totem talents you know, you may increase the casting time of that spell to a full-round action, unless the casting time is already longer, and expend additional essence points equal to that totem talent’s essence cost. If you do, you create a totem in an unoccupied 5-foot square within reach rather than the spell’s normal effect. If multiple totem talents are compatible with the spell you cast, choose a talent to determine which type of totem you are making. You cannot combine the functionality of multiple totem talents. Unless otherwise specified in that totem’s entry, a totem persists for 1 minute per reaper level, for the duration of the spell cast into it, until destroyed, or until dismissed as a standard action, whichever comes first. A totem has hardness equal to your casting ability modifier (as determined by the soulsown with the totem talent you’re using), hit points equal to 5 + three times your reaper level, darkvision 60 ft., and has save modifiers equal to that of a magic item with a caster level equal to your reaper level. Totems do not roll Perception checks? rather, they passively spot any creature within the radius of their darkvision, using a Perception check of 13 + your reaper level. Totems do not communicate this information with you, and some totem variants can’t really do anything with such knowledge. A totem is destroyed when reduced to 0 hit points.

Spells cast into a totem use your caster level and casting ability modifier for the purpose of determining their magnitude of effect and Difficulty Class. Only a single spell may be channeled into a particular totem at any one time, and spells cannot be channeled into a totem that has already been deployed. If a spell channeled into a totem requires concentration, then the totem concentrates on the spell for you. You may have up to one totem deployed at any one time.

Soulsown Totem Talents

Adaptable Auras (Sp)

Compatible Seeds: Primal

Prerequisite: Aura totem

By expending additional essence points equal to half the spell’s level, rounded up, you may channel a spell that targets a single creature into an aura totem, so long as it meets all other compatibility criteria of aura totems. The radius of the resulting effect is 5 feet, plus an additional 5 feet for every eight reaper levels you possess.

Aura Totem (Sp)

Compatible Seeds: Primal

Prerequisite: Know at least one spell that is compatible with this talent

Essence Cost: 1

You gain the ability to create and deploy aura totems, a peaceful variant of totem that is compatible with any spell that fits the following criteria:

• The spell is harmless.
• The spell has a duration greater than instantaneous.
• The spell affects an area OR affects one subject per level

For the duration of its existence, an aura totem radiates the effect of its channeled spell as though it were the caster. The area of effect is centered upon the totem. In the case of spells that affect one subject per level, the radius of the effect is 5 feet, plus an additional 5 feet for every five subjects the spell can target.

If the channeled spell grants temporary hit points or has a limited pool of power, and if that limited effect is all the spell does, such as false life or protection from energy, then the totem is destroyed when the spell’s benefit runs out.

Benefactor Totem (Sp)

Compatible Seeds: Primal

Prerequisite: Aura totem, know at least one spell that is compatible with this talent

Essence Cost: 2

You gain the ability to create and deploy benefactor totems, which pass on the spell you channel into them. Benefactor totems are compatible with any spell that fits the following criteria:

• The spell is harmless.
• The spell has a duration greater than instantaneous.
• The spell affects a single creature.
• The spell has a range of touch.

Upon deploying a benefactor totem, designate any number of creatures as “friendly”, and if one or more these designated friendlies are adjacent to the totem when you deploy it, you may choose one of those friendlies to become the “recipient” of the spell. While within 60 feet of the benefactor totem, the recipient gains the benefits of the spell you channeled into it. You may end a recipient’s connection to the totem as a standard action, though this connection ends naturally if the recipient moves more than 60 feet away from the totem. If a benefactor totem has no recipient, any friendly may become the recipient by touching the totem, a standard action.

If the spell channeled into a benefactor totem grants healing, this healing is only granted to the first recipient. If the channeled spell grants temporary hit points or has a limited pool of power, such as greater heroism or protection from energy, then the totem records the number of temporary hit points or the amount of limited power remaining when it ceases to grant benefit to a recipient, then grants this lessened pool to the next recipient. If the channeled spell’s only function is dictated by such a pool system, then the totem is destroyed when that pool runs out.

Devastation Totem (Sp)

Compatible Seeds: Primal

Prerequisite: Aura totem, know at least one spell that is compatible with this talent

Essence Cost: 0 (produce flame), 2 (call lightning/call lightning storm)

You gain the ability to create and deploy devastation totems, a particularly specialized variant of totem that is only compatible with the following spells: produce flame, call lightning, and call lightning storm. Immediately upon being created, and each round during your turn, a devastation totem attacks with the spell you channeled into it, hurling a glob of flame or dropping a bolt of lightning that targets an enemy within 60 feet. A devastation totem cannot make melee attacks, meaning it can only make use of the ranged portion of the produce flame spell. A devastation totem’s ranged attack modifier is equal to your reaper level.

Sentry Totem (Sp)

Compatible Seeds: Primal

Prerequisite: Aura totem, know at least one spell that is compatible with this talent

Essence Cost: 1

You gain the ability to create and deploy sentry totems, a particularly paranoid variant of totem that is compatible with any spell that fits the following criteria:

• The spell is not harmless.
• The spell has a duration of instantaneous.
• The spell affects a single creature.
• The spell has a range of Close or greater.

Upon deploying a sentry totem, designate any number of creatures as “friendly”. Any Tiny or larger creature not designated as “friendly” that approaches to within Close (25 feet + 5 feet/2 reaper levels) range of the sentry totem triggers it and becomes subject to the spell you channeled into that totem. For the purpose of ranged touch attacks, a sentry totem has an attack modifier equal to one-half your reaper level, rounded down, plus your spellcasting ability modifier, as determined by the soulsown with this talent.

Creatures that are subject to the nondetection spell, or other, similar means of avoiding divinatory detection, do not trigger a sentry totem.

Unlike other totems, a sentry totem persists for 8 hours, until it discharges its spell, until destroyed, or until dismissed.

Totemic Essence (Su)

Compatible Seeds: Primal

Prerequisite: Totemic pool

Up to five times per day when channeling a 1st-level spell into a totem, you may expend totem points on that spell as though they were essence points.

Prerequisite: Aura totem, reaper level 6th

You do not pay a totem talent’s (soulsown talents with “totem” in their name) essence point cost the first time you use that talent each day.

Totemic Pool (Su)

Compatible Seeds: Primal

Prerequisite: Aura totem

You gain a pool of totem points, a measure of your ability to extend the reach of your consciousness through spiritual means. The number of points in your totem pool is equal to 3, plus one-quarter your reaper level, rounded down. You may expend totem points as though they were essence points when paying for totem talents (soulsown talents with “totem” in their name). For each other soulsown talent you possess with “totemic” in its name, the size of your totem pool increases by +2 points.

The totem pool is replenished whenever your essence pool replenishes itself.

Totemic Rapidity (Sp)

Compatible Seeds: Primal

Prerequisite: Aura totem, benefactor totem OR devastation totem OR sentry totem, reaper level 8th

Channeling a spell into a totem, then deploying the totem, no longer increases the casting time of that spell. In addition, once per day, you may apply the metamagic remembrance (quicken spell) talent to a spell you are channeling into a totem without paying additional essence points to apply that metamagic. You must know the aforementioned talent in order to use it.

Totemic Reclamation (Su)

Compatible Seeds: Primal

Prerequisite: Benefactor totem OR sentry totem

Whenever you dismiss a benefactor totem or a sentry totem, the points you expended to deploy that totem, including the points spent on its channeled spell, are refunded to you. You can only get a refund on benefactor totems if that totem never had a recipient, and you can only get a refund on sentry totems if you never saw through it with the totemic sight talent.

Totemic Retribution (Su)

Compatible Seeds: Primal

Prerequisite: Aura totem

Whenever a creature destroys one of your totems by dealing sufficient hit point damage to it, that creature takes 1d6 points of damage per reaper level you possess, to a maximum of 2d6 points of damage per spell level of the channeled spell that totem held. A successful Fortitude save negates.

Totemic Shift (Su)

Compatible Seeds: Primal

Prerequisite: Aura totem

You may move your deployed totem to an unoccupied square that is within 30 feet of both you and the totem as a swift action. The first time you use this talent on a particular totem, there is no essence point cost? however, you must expend 1 essence point or 1 totem point for all subsequent activations.

Totemic Sight (Sp)

Compatible Seeds: Primal

Prerequisite: Sentry totem

If you have a deployed sentry totem within 120 feet, you may choose to see through it as a standard action. While seeing through your sentry totem, your body goes catatonic, and you are not aware of anything around your person, or of damage to your body, though you do gain darkvision 60 feet from the position of your sentry totem. While seeing through your sentry totem, the totem loses the ability to discharge spells automatically, as well as its ability to passively detect creatures, and you gain the ability to aim and fire the spell as a swift action. If the sentry totem is destroyed while you are seeing through it, you are stunned for 1 round, ignoring immunity to stun. If your body is slain while seeing through your totem, your consciousness disperses immediately. At any time, you may cease looking through your totem and return to normal bodily function as a standard action.

Twin Fetishes (Su)

Compatible Seeds: Primal

Prerequisite: Aura totem, totemic pool, reaper level 20th

You may deploy up to two totems at any one time. In addition, the size of your totem pool increases by +5 points.
