Transformative Influence

Some mediums awaken into their powers after a delirious fever dream or perception-shattering hallucination revealed to them how fragile and changeable physical shapes can be. The transformative influence connects these medium to spirits that represent creative reinterpretations of reality and freedom from conventional limitations. These spirits include the animal lords, azata (bralani and ghaele varieties), barghest, div (pairaka), ghul, kelpie, oni (all varieties), protean (all varieties), rakshasa (all varieties), and totenmaske. A medium with transformative influence can call a creature with the shapechanger subtype whose Challenge Rating is less than or equal to her medium level with her séance ability even if the creature exceeds her Hit Dice limit.
