Evening Star, Bloody Mist of the Hills

Spirit Level: 8th
Constellation: Dark Beyond
Binding DC: 28
Totems: You gain a totem bonus on the spirit’s binding check if you meet some or all of these conditions.

• You possess a fist-sized chunk of star rock or star metal (worth 1,000 gp and consumed in the manifestation).
• You sacrifice something you love to Evening Star. If it is an object, it must either be a treasured item or worth 5 gp.
• Your mixture for the ceremony is designed to support an otherworldly being, which requires 16 ranks in Craft (alchemy).

Ceremony: You mix drops of your blood with dung, earth, and burning embers.
Manifestation: The mixture rapidly grows in size and volume, taking on the form of a horrendous aberration. It asks you to play with it in the voice of a child, signaling the pact’s beginning.

Wilting Mist: As a standard action, you surround yourself with mist, causing all creatures within 20 feet to make a Fortitude save or take 1d4 points of damage per binder level you possess (you and your vestigial companion are immune to this effect). A successful save reduces this to 5d4 points of damage. After using this ability, it is expended for 5 rounds.
Capstone Empowerment: Creatures that fail their Fortitude save must also succeed on a Will save or become confused for 1 round.

Body of Mist: You transform into a mist-like state as a swift action, as gaseous form. You can use this ability for a number of minutes per day equal to your binder level + your Charisma bonus. These minutes do not need to be used consecutively, but they must be spent in 1-minute increments.
Horror from Beyond: You can turn away animals and humanoids. This ability functions as the Turn Undead feat except you do not need to expend uses of channel positive energy to power this ability and your cleric level is equal to your binder level with this feat. A creature that succeeds on its Will save is immune to this ability for 24 hours.
Troll Shape: You take on the aspects of a gray, colorless troll as giant form II. You can transform into any troll allowed by the spell and you can use this ability for a number of rounds per day equal to your binder level + your Charisma bonus. These rounds do not need to be consecutive.
Ventriloquism: This functions as the spell of the same name, except there is no Will save to disbelieve it because it is not an illusion.

Physical Sign: Small amounts of blood stream from your mouth, eyes, and other orifices. Whenever you activate one of Evening Star’s granted abilities, small snake-like rivulets squirm beneath your skin.
Personality: You wish to “play” with all other creatures you encounter, seeing them as playmates and toys. You express dismay when others stop playing (die). Love and empathy is near impossible for you to show.
Favored Ally: Aberration (any) and Ooze (any)
Favored Enemy: Animal (any) and Humanoid (any)
