Deliver Touch Spells (Su) Ectoplasmic or incorporeal phantom can deliver Taieraie's touch spells as an immediate action (including touching up to six willing targets within its reach) if it is within 30 feet of him. It cannot hold a charge when using this ability.
Etheric Healing (Su) As lay on hands of a paladin with equal HD. Can be used on Taieraie as a swift action.
Incorporeal (Ex) (TLDR) Can't attack corporeal creatures, except to deliver spell via deliver touch spells ability.
Link Taieraie and the phantom share a mental communication link (free action) and share magic item slots.
Opening Strike (Su) Standard action melee attack. On a hit, Taieraie designates an ally who can make a single attack as an immediate action against the foe hit bu this attack.
Phase Lurch (Su) Pass through walls or material obstacles when ectoplasmic. Must begin and end its turn outside an obstacle, speed is halved, and cannot move through creatures. Any surface is coated with a thin mucus that lingers for 1 minute.
Share Spells (Su) Taieraie can cast personal spells on the phantom, even if the phantom would ordinarily be a nonvalid target. This only applies to Taieraie's cast spells.

  Avenger Taieraie's vigilante levels count has having full BAB.
  Bonded Manifestation (Su) As a swift action, Taieraie can partially manifest aspects of the phantom in his own body while the phantom is still bound to his consciousness (it can’t be manifested in any other way). During a bonded manifestation, the phantom can’t be damaged, dismissed, or banished. Taieraie can use this for 10 rounds per day. The rounds need not be consecutive. Taieraie must choose either ectoplasmic or incorporeal form.
  Ectoplasmic Bonded Manifestation: Taieraie gains an ectoplasmic shield : +4 shield bonus to Armor Class (applies to incorporeal touch attacks).
  Incorporeal Bonded Manifestation: Taieraie becomes shrouded in a haze of insubstantial mist, granting him concealment against ranged attacks.
  Bonded Senses (Su) As a standard action, Taieraie can share the senses of his manifested phantom, hearing, seeing, smelling, tasting, and feeling everything it does. He can use this ability for 7 rounds per day; they do not need to be consecutive. Both must be on the same plane.
  Dual Identity (Ex) Taieraie's social identity is a Senghorian merchant, also NG. There aren't many (if any) mechanical effects.
  Etheric Tether (Su) Whenever Taieraie's manifested phantom takes enough damage to send it back to the Ethereal Plane, as a reaction to the damage, he can sacrifice any number of his hit points without using an action, preventing damage on 1:1 basis and preventing the phantom from being sent back to the Ethereal Plane.
  When the phantom is fully manifested, it must remain within 50 feet of Taieraie to stay stable. Taieraie can stretch this when the phantom is in ectoplasmic form. When Taieraie starts his turn and his ectoplasmic phantom is more than 50 feet away from her (but closer than 100 feet), Taieraie must concentrate as a full-round action that provokes attacks of opportunity or the phantom immediately returns to the Ethereal Plane and cannot be summoned from that plane for 24 hours. This concentration can be interrupted as if it were a spell. Treat this effect’s spell level as equal to 1 + 1 per 10 feet farther than 50 feet that the phantom is from the spiritualist (maximum spell level 6th). If the tether is interrupted or the check fails, the phantom immediately snaps back into the consciousness of its spiritualist master. (Conflict here.)
  If the ectoplasmic phantom is ever more than 100 feet away from its spiritualist, or the incorporeal phantom is ever 50 feet away from the spiritualist or outside of line of effect from the spiritualist for more than 1 round per spiritualist level the spiritualist possesses, the phantom immediately returns to the Ethereal Plane and can’t be summoned from that plane for 24 hours.
  Phantom Taieraie has a phantom with the kindness emotional focus. It is Neutral Good, and can speak all the languages Taieraie can. Taieraie can harbor it in his consciousness (shared consciousness), manifest it partially (bonded manifestation), or fully manifest it (in ectoplasmic or incorporeal form). A fully manifested phantom is treated as a summoned creature from the Ethereal Plane, except it is not sent back to the Ethereal Plane until it is reduced to a negative amount of hit points equal to or greater than its Constitution score.
  Taieraie can fully manifest his phantom through a 1-minute ritual. When fully manifested, Taieraie can change the phantom from ectoplasmic to incorporeal (or vice versa) as a full-round action that provokes attacks of opportunity. The manifested phantom's hit points are unchanged, unless it was slain and returned to the Ethereal Plane; in this case, it manifests with half its maximum number of hit points. The phantom does not heal naturally, and can be healed only with magic or with the Heal skill while fully manifested in ectoplasmic form. The phantom stays fully manifested until it is either returned to the spiritualist’s consciousness (a standard action) or banished to the Ethereal Plane. If the phantom is banished to the Ethereal Plane, it can’t return to the spiritualist’s consciousness or manifest again for 24 hours.
  A fully manifested phantom can’t be returned to the Ethereal Plane by means of dispel magic, but spells such as dismissal and banishment work normally. Whenever Taieraie is unconscious or asleep, the phantom immediately returns to his consciousness. If Taieraie dies, the phantom is returned to the Ethereal Plane, and can’t return to his consciousness until 24 hours after he is brought back to life. The phantom can’t be dismissed or banished while it resides in the spiritualist’s consciousness.
  Fully manifested phantoms can use appropriate items (though not armor or weapons) appropriate to their forms. Any items are dropped when the phantom returns to the spiritualist’s consciousness, and must be retrieved and donned anew later.
  Phantom Recall (Su) Once per day as either a swift or an immediate action, Taieraie can call her manifested phantom to her side or back into her consciousness. This ability functions as dimension door (CL 7th). The phantom appears adjacent to Taieraie (or as close as possible, if all adjacent spaces are occupied). When calling the phantom back to his consciousness, Taieraie can activate bonded manifestation as part of that action, but doing so costs 1 extra round of bonded manifestation.
  Seamless Guise (Ex) Taieraie may attempt a Disguise check with a +20 circumstance bonus to appear as his current identity, and not as his other identity. I'm certainly no scurrilous Pathfinder, sir!
  Seamless Shapechanger (Ex) Social talent. Taieraie adds his seamless guise bonus to the bonus on Disguise checks to assume the shape of another creature with a polymorph spell or effect.
  Shared Consciousness (Su) While the phantom is confined in Taieraie's consciousness (but not while fully manifested or banished), it grants him Skill Focus (Diplomacy) and Skill Focus (Heal). It also grants a +4 bonus on saving throws against all mind-affecting effects. Once per day, when Taieraie would fail a save against a mind-affecting effect, as an immediate action he can shunt that effect into the phantom’s section of his consciousness instead. When he does so, he is not affected by the mind-affecting effect, but for the normal duration of that effect, Taieraie loses the bonuses on saving throws against mind-affecting effects and the two Skill Focuses effects, and can’t use this ability to shunt a mind-affecting effect into the phantom’s consciousness or manifest his phantom in any way. Spells such as dispel magic and break enchantment can be cast on the spiritualist to end the effect on the phantom.
  Spiritual Interference (Ex or Su) Whenever Taieraie is within the reach of his ectoplasmic manifested phantom, he gains a +2 shield bonus to her Armor Class and a +2 circumstance bonus on his saving throws (not when the phantom is grappled, helpless, or unconscious). Within 30 feet of his incorporeally manifested phantom, Taieraie receives a +2 circumstance bonus on saving throws against mind-affecting effects (Su, does not apply if the phantom is unconscious).

Kaukaisessa metsässä pohjoisessa Tian Xiassa asui kettu jonka piti kasvaa papiksi tai muuksi sielunpaimeneksi. Koska kenttäkoulutus on luonnonhelmassa viihtyvien veitikoiden mielestä mielenkiintoisempaa kuin pelkkä luostarissa meditointi, pentu oli mukana vanhempien pappien mukana näiden kierrellessä pitkin maita saattamassa lepoon levottomia sieluja ja liian polleiksi alkaneita hobgoblineita ja muita ökkiäisiä. Yksi näistä tehtävistä johdatti papit syvään luolaan josta irtoavat pahat tuntemukset saivat nämä aloittamaan manauksen. Sen piti saattaa paikalleen jääneet levottomat sielut viimeiselle matkalleen kohti Pharasman tuomiota, mutta jokin meni pieleen. Oliko nuori Taieraie huolimaton, vai liian empaattinen, vai liian piittaamaton, vai oliko kaikki pelkkää sattumaa, lopputulos oli sama. Hengistä voimakkain kääntyi takaisin jo aloitettuaan matkansa, ja liimautui kiinni pappisoppilaan mieleen.

Muut manaajat tutkivat ja tökkivät sekä henkeä että sen uutta omistajaa pari päivää ja kohauttivat olkiaan: Karma. Opi elämään uuden kaverisi kanssa tai tee asialle jotain. Siihen jäivät pappisopinnot; keskittymisestä niihin ei tullut mitään kun päässä koheltaa vieras mieli joka tiesi kuolleensa traagisesti jossain maan uumenissa, muttei ihan uskonut sitä. Taieraie myös tajusi, että henki ei tiedä tarkkaan kuka oli. Sen ainoat mielikuvat olivat valtavan kaupungin keskellä kohoava pilviä hipova rakennus, huoli tovereistaan, ja tarve liikkua paikasta toiseen. Neuvonpidon jälkeen todettiin hengen luultavasti olevan Tiennäyttäjä, kaukaa lännestä tullut utelias muukalainen. Jos Taieraie haluaisi hengen ulos kallostaan ja kohti lopullista matkaansa, olisi ehkä viisasta ottaa selvää kuka se oli ollut. Joten Taieraie lähti länteen.

Haastatteluprosessi oli outo, jopa Kreighton Shanen mittapuiden mukaan, koska puoliin kysymyksiin vastasi kettu ja toisiin henki. Lopulta haltia nosti kätensä pystyyn, värväsi Taieraien kokeellisesti järjestöön jotta henki saataisiin pysymään tyytyväisempänä ja muilla olisi aikaa tutkia kuka tämä oli ollut. Ajoittain aave paljastaa jotain uutta itsestään, ja hetken toivo elää sen saattamisesta lepoon. Mutta toistaiseksi se on nauttinut liikaa olostaan lähteäkseen.
