A blast etherspell with this manifestation produces a sphere of energy. This sphere is dependent upon the energy type of the etherspell cast.

The sphere is created on top of the target of the etherspell and deals 2d4 damage of the appropriate energy type with a Reflex save to negate. Whenever the caster casts a single target blast etherspell, the celestial sphere moves toward the target of that blast etherspell, up to a maximum of 30 feet, damaging all creatures it passes. Any airtight obstruction, such as a brick wall, blocks the movement of the sphere and forces it to stop.

Clockwork Model (Shape)

Should a blast etherspell with this manifestation fail to penetrate spell resistance, the spell is not wasted.

An etherspell will not deflect twice in this manner.

Only one shape manifestation can be applied to an etherspell.

Comet’s Tail

If, on the same round, the caster moves after casting a blast etherspell with this manifestation, he leaves a streaking trail of energy that forms a wall five feet high that occupies all squares he passes through. This wall is dependent upon the energy type of the etherspell cast. For example, a fire etherspell creates a wall of fire and a piercing etherspell creates a wall of floating needles. If any creature steps into a square occupied by this trail, the entire trail of energy collapses and vanishes, dealing 1d6 + the caster’s level (max +10 for lesser blasts, max +15 for greater blasts) damage of the appropriate type to the intersecting creature with no saving throws allowed.

Ethermagic 2
Etherheart Restriction: Lesser Blast, Greater Blast

If a blast etherspell with this manifestation hits its primary target, the etherspell bounces, attacking a secondary target within line of sight of the caster that is between 20 and 30 feet away from the primary target. If the secondary target is out of range of the etherspell, that is to say, if it is too far away to be a legal primary target, it can still be a legal secondary target.

Only one shape manifestation can be applied to an etherspell.

Counterspelling Ethermagic

Though a more standard arcane caster may initially be quite confused by what appears to be an inexhaustible supply of magic from a single source, the savvy wizard or sorcerer quickly learns that everything an ethermagician does is evocation, or at least detects as such by the magic they have accepted as the norm. Some of it may look like transmutation or conjuration, but the manipulation of energy, and, thus, evocation, is paramount to the art of ethermancy in all of its forms. This incredibly linear spell selection, combined with a low spell level ceiling, makes it particularly easy to lock down an ethermagician, at least for a few rounds. An etherspell can be countered by any evocation spell whose spell level is greater than or equal to the highest spell level among manifestations in the etherspell.
