*Ethereal akasha crowns your brow, glowing with a faint inner light that swirls and grows in luminosity as magical power is stored within it.*

Shaping this veil grants you insight into the workings of magic, allowing you to identify and break the essence that makes up spells and store their essence within the veil to later cast them yourself. You gain a +2 insight bonus to Spellcraft checks to identify spells, determining the properties of magic items, learning and preparing spells from a spellbook, and when creating new spells.

Using this veil you may cast *dispel magic* as a spell-like ability a number of times per day equal to 1 + your veilweaving modifier. When using dispel magic in this way it has a range of touch, and can only be used against creatures or to counter spells that target you. Your caster level for this spell is equal to your veilweaving level.

Whenever you successfully dispel a 1st level or lower spell or power using this veil, its essence is stored within the veil. Stored powers are stored with the amount of power points used to cast them. Stored magic sphere effects are stored with an amount of spell points used to cast them. If a dispelled spell or power was affected by metamagic or metapsionics, those effects are included when determining its level and their effects are stored in the veil as well.

The veil can only store a single spell or power t a time. You can cast spells or manifest powers stored within the veil, using your veilweaving level as your caster level or manifester level and your veilweaving modifier as your spellcasting modifier or manifesting modifier. You must have a veilweaving ability score equal to at least 10 + the spell or power’s level to cast or manifest the stored spell or power. You can cast spells or manifest powers stored within the veil with a material cost of 1 gp or less without requiring those components, but you must otherwise provide any expensive material or focus components. Once you cast a spell or manifested a power stored within the veil, its essence is spent and it is no longer stored.

If you would store a new spell that would put you beyond the maximum number of spells stored you may choose to have it replace an existing stored spell or choose not to store it.

**Essence:** For each point of essence invested in this veil, the maximum spell level that can be stored within the veil increases by 1. For every two points invested, the maximum number of spells that can be stored within the veil increases by 1. If you remove essence from this veil while you are storing spells in it, and doing so would cause you to exceed the maximum number of stored spells or would cause stored spells to exceed your maximum stored spell level, you cannot cast those spells until the veil is reinvested with essence.

**Chakra Bind (Head):** Binding this veil to your Head chakra removes the restrictions on your ability to dispel magical effects. When you cast *dispel magic* using this veil, you can choose whether to deliver it against a creature as a touch attack or cast the spell using its normal range and properties without the normal restrictions of this veil.

**Chakra Bind (Headband):** Binding this veil to your Headband chakra grants you all the benefits of the Head bind and dramatically improves your ability to dispel magical effects. You now treat your dispels made using this veil as the *greater dispel magic* spell. If you successfully dispel more than one spell using *greater dispel magic*, you may store as many of them as you wish, up to your maximum allotment of stored spells. If you dispel the same spell multiple times as part of a single casting of greater dispel magic (such as if you dispel the same spell affecting 2 or more creatures), you may only store it once.
