Akashic Inventor

## Veilweaving:

Akashic inventors gain the ability to shape the magical power known as akasha into powerful veils, which they draw from the daevic veil list. The akashic inventor uses their practitioner modifier as their veilweaving modifier, and has a veilweaving level equal to their class level. The saving throw DCs of the akashic inventor's veils are equal to 10 + the essence invested in the veil + the akashic inventor’s veilweaving modifier.

At 1st level, the akashic inventor gains access to a pool of essence which can be invested into their veils and other essence receptacles to increase their power. The akashic inventor gains 1 point of essence at each class level except 4, 8, 12, 16, and 20 (for a total of 15 points of essence at 19th level).

The akashic inventor can only shape a limited number of veils per day. They can shape 1 veil at 1st level, and gain the ability to shape 1 additional veil each day at 3rd, 7th, 11th, 15th, and 19th level.

*This replaces the akashic inventor’s gadgets and technical insights class features.*

## Akashic Inventions (Su):

Rather than creating inventions with objects as a base, the akashic inventor has learned to directly modify the veils they shape. Rather than having specific objects as a prerequisite, their inventions have a veil of a certain slot as a prerequisite. Their inventions modify this veil rather than an object. As long as they have the veil shaped and unsuppressed they gain the benefits of any improvements they grant that veil. The effects of these improvements are considered supernatural effects. The akashic inventor cannot create grand gadgets or independent inventions.

Whenever the akashic inventor shapes their veils, they can adjust all of improvements modifying their veils. If they unshape and reshape a modified veil, they may apply modifications to the newly shaped veil immediately.

Inventions for the akashic inventor have the following prerequisites instead of their normal listed prerequisites:

**Improved Armor:** Any [Enhanced (armor)] veil. These modifications affect the armor produced by the modified veil.

**Improved Backpack:** Belt or Shoulders slot veil.

**Improved Boots:** Feet slot veil.

**Improved Crossbow:** Any [Enhanced (weapon)] veil that produces a crossbow. These modifications affect the crossbow produced by the modified veil.

**Improved Firearm:** Any [Enhanced (weapon)] veil that produces a firearm. These modifications affect the firearm produced by the modified veil.

**Improved Gloves:** Hands or Wrists slot veil.

**Improved Goggles:** Head or Headband slot veil.

**Improved Melee Weapon:** Any [Enhanced (weapon)] veil that produces a melee weapon. These modifications affect the melee weapons produced by the modified veil.

**Improved Shield:** Any [Enhanced (shield)] veil that produces a shield. These modifications affect the shield produced by the modified veil.

**Improved Suit:** Chest or Body slot veil.

 *This modifies the technician’s inventions class feature.*

## Low Chakra Binding:

At 2nd level, the akashic inventor gains access to a low chakra bind. Each day when they shape their veils, they can choose whether they wish to bind veils to the Feet or Hands slot. At 4th level, they additionally can choose between the Head slot, and can choose two binds rather than one.

## Improved Essence Capacity:

The akashic inventor’s continual Tinkering and modification of their veils has expanded their ability to invest them with essence. At 3rd, 9th, and 15th level the maximum essence capacity of all of the akashic inventor’s essence receptacles increases by 1.

## Middle Chakra Binding:

At 8th level, the akashic inventor gains access to a middle chakra bind. Each day when they shape their veils, they can choose whether they wish to bind veils to the Wrists, Shoulders or Headband slots. At 12th level, they choose two binds rather than one.

## High Chakra Binding:

## Sidebar: Akashic Constructs

If your game is using the Akashic Construct optional rules, the akashic inventor can create an akashic construct as one of their inventions. This akashic construct takes up one of their shaped veils. Unlike a normal akashic construct, it does not gain akashic upgrades at 1st, 5th, 10th, 15th, and 20th level. Instead, the akashic inventor applies akashic upgrades to their akashic construct using their improvements. These akashic upgrades granted as improvements otherwise follow all the other rules for akashic upgrades
