*A nebulous cloud of akashic energy takes shape around you, coalescing into various forms as it channels the powers of your passions and emotions.*

When you shape this veil, choose one daevic passion. The effects of this veil are determined by the chosen passion. If you have levels in a class that grants you a passion, you must select that passion when you shape this veil.

**Note:** This is the page for the **Desire** aspect, you can find the other aspects here.

This veil gains the Mind-Affecting descriptor. Shaping this veil allows you to surround yourself in an aura of desire that influences the perceptions and minds of those in your wake. You radiate a 10-foot radius aura of desire. Creatures within this aura automatically pinpoint your location and notice you, but they suffer a -2 penalty on opposed skill checks and skill checks made as reactions as their minds are clouded by your mere presence (such as Perception checks to notice a creature, or Sense Motive checks). This is a mind-affecting effect. If you or one of your allies acts with hostility towards a creature affected by this aura (such as attacking them) and the affected creature notices the action, the effects of this aura no longer apply to skill checks made by the attacked creature against the creature that acted with noticed hostility for the next 24 hours.

While inside this aura, creatures do not realize they are under a magical effect. When the creature leaves the aura, they do not realize their minds were influenced by its magic for the next 10 minutes.

Whenever you reinvest your essence you can choose a number of creatures up to your veilweaving modifier who are immune to the effects of this aura. This immunity persists until this veil is unshaped, or until you change which creatures are immune.

You can deactivate, reactivate, or change the size of this aura as a move action. When you activate it or change the size of the aura, you can choose for it to have a radius between 5 feet and its maximum radius in 5-foot increments.

**Essence:** For each point of essence invested in this veil, the penalty imposed by the aura worsens by -1, the maximum radius of the veil’s aura increases by 5 feet, and creatures do not realize they were influenced by magic after leaving the aura for an additional 10 minutes.

**Chakra Bind (Blood):** Binding this veil to the Blood chakra improves your aura’s ability to force a creature’s gaze upon you. If a creature inside the aura can see you, they are forced to look upon you by the magic influencing their mind. Affected creatures are considered to be averting their gaze from every creature but you, granting creatures other than you concealment against the affected creature’s attacks. If a creature affected by the aura willingly leaves your line of sight while inside the aura, or intentionally averts their gaze from you, they are blinded until the end of their next turn. If you willingly leave the target’s line of sight, they suffer no ill effect. This is a mind-affecting effect, blind creatures and creatures granted immunity to the effects of your aura are also immune to this effect. Attacking a creature affected by this ability does not break this effect.

You can choose to activate or deactivate this ability of your aura as a free action on your turn while the aura is active. A creature affected by this ability realizes they have been affected by a magical effect, but they do not immediately realize they have been affected by the base abilities of the aura.
