Ascetic's Ribbon

**Descriptors**: Enhanced (implement: Enhancement)

**Class**: Sphereshaper

**Slot**: Hands, Headband, Belt

**Saving Throw**: None

*Magic emanates faintly from this ribbon, imbuing you with inner peace and tranquility.*

You gain the Enhancement sphere and the Ascetic Control talent as bonus talents. Unless you possess the Enhancement sphere from a non-veil source you cannot use the enhance equipment ability and you may only place enhancements on yourself.

You gain the benefits of Ascetic Control as a constant effect. If this veil is suppressed or unshaped, the effects of that talent are lost until the suppression ends or the veil is reshaped. This effect cannot otherwise be dispelled or suppressed.

**Essence**: For each point of essence invested in this veil, you gain a +1 insight bonus on saving throws against disease and poisons. For every even point invested, you gain a +1 insight bonus on saving throws against mind-affecting and fear effects as well.

**Chakra Bind (Hands)**: Binding this veil to your Hands chakra allows you to infuse your limbs with energy to allow you to defend yourself from those who would attempt to disrupt your tranquility. You gain Natural Enhancement as a bonus talent, as well as your choice of the ability to use enhance equipment and a single (enhance) talent that can enhance a weapon as a bonus talent, or two (enhance) talents that can enhance a weapon as bonus talents.

You gain the benefits of a single (enhance) ability that enhances a weapon as a constant effect, as per Natural Enhancement. If your chosen (enhance) ability has the ability to spend additional spell points to increase its effect, you must pay those spell points and the additional effect only lasts as long as your (enhance) effects normally last (base 1 minute / caster level), or until you change the active effect of this veil. If this veil is suppressed or unshaped, the effects of this ability are lost until the suppression ends or the veil is reshaped. This effect cannot otherwise be dispelled or suppressed.

If you possess multiple natural attacks, you can change which natural attack benefits from this enhancement as part of investing your essence.

By spending 10 minutes in meditation, or by spending 1 spell point as a free action once each turn, you may change which of your [enhance] talents this veil grants you the benefits of.

If your [enhance] talent has an effect chosen when it is first cast, you choose the effects when you first gain its benefit using this veil. You can choose to change its effects as if you cast it anew whenever you meditate or spend spell points to change your [enhance] effect, essentially choosing the same [enhance] effect again.

**Chakra Bind (Headband)**: Binding this veil to your Headband chakra allows you to further infuse yourself with enhancing magics. You gain two (enhance) talents that can enhance a creature as bonus talents.

When you bind this veil or when you invest your essence, choose a single (enhance) talent you possess that enhances a creature; you gain the effects of that talent as a constant effect. If your chosen (enhance) ability has the ability to spend additional spell points to increase its effect, you must pay those spell points and the additional effect only lasts as long as your (enhance) effects normally last (base 1 minute / caster level), or until you change the active effect of this veil. If this veil is suppressed or unshaped, the effects of this ability are lost until the suppression ends or the veil is reshaped. This effect cannot otherwise be dispelled or suppressed.

By spending 10 minutes in meditation, or by spending 1 spell point as a free action once each turn, you may change which of your [enhance] talents this veil grants you the benefits of.

If your [enhance] talent has an effect chosen when it is first cast, you choose the effects when you first gain its benefit using this veil. You can choose to change its effects as if you cast it anew whenever you meditate or spend spell points to change your [enhance] effect, essentially choosing the same [enhance] effect again.

**Chakra Bind (Belt)**: Binding this veil to your Belt chakra grants you true power over the enhancements applied to your own body, granting you the benefits of both this veil’s Hands and Headband binds.

When you meditate or spend spell points to change your active [enhance] talent, you may change the effects granted by both the Hands bind and Headband bind as part of a single meditation or spell point expenditure.
