Your opulence in life carries grants you power in the realm of death.
This veil takes the form of an opulent suit of Dissian parade armor, with an optional nemes headdress and mask. The funeral regalia's bonus to Diplomacy skill checks applies not only to citizens of Dis, but to all worshipers of Armenon, and all intelligent Undead. Finally, the armor provides negative energy resistance 2, which can stack with any other negative energy resistance you possess.
For each point of enhancement bonus or enhancement-equivalent magic armor abilities added to a suit of funeral regalia, it can also be decorated with additional precious metals, stones, and artwork worth up to 1,000 gp. The gold you spend improving the regalia this way enters a pool of points called your opulence pool. You may spend opulence at a ratio of 2 points per 1 gp as the material components needed to cast any spell which creates permanent Undead creatures. You may mix opulence and real currency when spending it in this way. At certain veilweaver levels, you may spend opulence to cast specified spells, see Table 1 — Opulence Spells. Your caster level for these spells is equal to your veilweaver level; spells cast this way count as divine; and this ability does not count as being able to cast spells for the purposes of fulfilling prerequisites. Spent opulence recharges at a rate of 15 points per day, with its maximum being the total gold you have spent decorating the funeral regalia. 
Essence: For each point of essence invested in funeral regalia, the negative energy resistance it provides increases by +1. For each even point of essence invested in it, the Diplomacy bonus it grants increases by +1.
Chakra Bind (Shoulders) [Da 10, Ne 10, Vi 10, Vo 8]: When funeral regalia is bound to the Shoulders chakra, you may bind essence to it rather than invest. For each point of essence bound, you recharge an additional 5 opulence that day, and your negative energy resistance increases by an additional +1. If you die while funeral regalia is bound in the Shoulders chakra, the armor remains shaped on your corpse (or bound to your soul if your corpse is destroyed) for 1 day per essence bound. During this time, opulence can be spent by any caster at a ratio of 1 point per 1 gp as the material component of any spell which would return you to life (or unlife, if you are Undead). The caster may mix opulence and real currency when spending it in this way. Your spirit must be willing to allow the caster to spend opulence in this way, and the caster will be aware of how much opulence they have available to spend as they cast the spell.
