*Translucent energy pulses from your brow outwards towards your allies before pulsing outwards from them, forming a network of rippling bands of energy.*

Shaping this veil allows you to form an akashic collective with your allies that allows you to monitor each other's health and request for them to sacrifice their own energy to aid you. As a standard action, you can join a number of willing creatures up to your veilweaving modifier (minimum 1) + 1/4 your veilweaving level (rounded down) within Medium range (100 feet + 10 feet per veilweaver level) of you into your akashic collective. You must have line of sight an effect to add a creature to your akashic collective, but once they have been added they no longer need to remain in line of sight or effect to maintain its benefits, as long as they stay within range. If they leave the range of your collective, they leave the collective. A willing creature can also choose to become unwilling and leave the collective as a free action on their turn. Using this ability additional times allows you to replace collective members with new willing creatures. You are always treated as a member of your own akashic collective.

Members of your akashic collective can sense the relative health, direction, and distance of each other member of the akashic collective, as per the status spell. Whenever a member of your akashic collective would regain hit points, that member can choose to divide those regained hit points as they see fit among the members of the collective.

Additionally; a member of the akashic collective can call for the collective’s aid as an immediate action. When they do so, they roll 1d6 + your veilweaving modifier (minimum 1). Members of the collective may sacrifice a total number of hit points up to or equal to that value to heal the member requesting aid for an equal amount. An individual creature may only request aid using this veil a number of times per day equal to 1 + your veilweaving modifier (minimum 2).

You may also heal another member of your akashic collective using this ability as a standard action. That use doesn’t count against the healed creature’s uses per day of the above ability, and members of the collective must sacrifice hit points to heal the damage as normal.

**Essence**: For each point of essence invested in this veil, the number of hit points that can be sacrificed to heal a member of the collective increases by 1d6.

**Chakra Bind (Headband)**: Binding this veil to your Headband chakra allows you to pull unwilling creatures into your collective and sacrifice their energy to heal your allies.

As a standard action, you can attempt to add an unwilling creature into your collective. This creature receives a Will saving throw to negate the effect, and counts against the maximum number of creatures in your collective. If adding this creature would put you above your maximum, you must replace a member of your collective with the new creature.

An unwilling creature added to the collective cannot request the collective’s aid, and cannot sense other members of the collective. However, willing members of the collective can sense the creature’s health, distance, and direction. Whenever an unwilling creature regains hit points, they must make a Will saving throw or lose half the healing they would have gained (rounded up, minimum 0) and have that healing dispersed among the willing members of the collective as you see fit.

When healing a member of your collective as a standard action using this veil, you may attempt to heal your allies using the health of an unwilling member of your collective. If you wish to; choose one such creature when using the ability. That creature must make a Will saving throw, or have its HP sacrificed to heal the members of your collective. On a successful save, the creature suffers no damage and your collective is not healed
