Shaping this veil allows you to mark a number of creatures as your
wards, and allows you to come to their aid in their time of need.
Once per turn as a free action, choose a number of creatures equal
to your veilweaving modifier plus one (minimum two) other than
yourself to mark as your ward. These creatures remain your ward
until you use this ability again, or until this veil is unshaped.
While your wards are in Close range (25 feet + 5 feet per 2
veilweaver levels) of you, any time one of your wards would take
damage they may request your aid. Requesting aid is a free mental
action that can be taken at any time. If multiple creatures request
your aid against a single source of damage, such as an area of effect,
you may respond to each request for aid individually.

You may respond to aid in one of the following two ways as a free
action, even outside of your turn:

You may take up to 25% of the damage the ward suffers in their
place, plus a number of additional points of damage up to to twice
the number of points of essence invested in this veil. If this would
result in a fractional amount of damage, the damage you take is
rounded up, and the damage your ward takes is rounded down. You
must have line of effect to your ward to use this ability, but you do
not need to be able to perceive them.

By taking 1 point of essence burn you may teleport to a space
adjacent to the ward of your ward’s choice and erect an akashic
barrier around them, granting them a number of temporary hit
point equal to your veilweaving modifier (minimum 1) plus three
times the number of points of essence invested in this veil. These
temporary hit points apply before the damage is dealt, and persist
for 1 minute.

**Essence**: Investing essence in this veil increases the effects of the
aid you provide your wards, as presented above.
