Apparition's Reflection [one-action] to
[three-actions] Feat 8Animist Apparition Spellshape Source War of Immortals pg. 25Frequency once per hour
Your apparition infuses your body with additional power. You regain one expended apparition spell slot that is at least 2 ranks lower than your highest-rank spell slot and takes 1, 2, or 3 actions to
Cast. You then immediately cast an apparition spell that can be cast using that slot. The number of actions required for Echo of Spirits is equal to the action cost of the spell cast. Maintaining control after such a surge is difficult, however; after casting the spell, you’re
confused until the end of your next turn.
Traits
Apparition: Apparitions are spiritual entities who generally lack the power, cohesiveness, or attachments to enter or affect the physical world. Unlike a ghost or phantom, an apparition does not need to have ever been a living creature and could be the spiritual memory of a particularly meaningful location or event. Apparitions are reliant on animists to interact with other people and things, and generally can't be targeted or affected by spells and abilities other than those of the animist they are attuned to. Animist feats and abilities that affect spirits affect apparitions only if they specifically say so.
Animist abilities with the apparition trait involve one or more of your apparitions acting alongside you. You must be attuned to at least one apparition to use an apparition ability, and some abilities might state in their requirements more specifically which apparition you must be attuned to. Typically, you're assumed to always attune to your apparitions during your daily preparations, but in some rare circumstances or as a result of certain animist abilities, your apparitions might be dispersed or separated from you for a time; you aren't attuned to dispersed apparitions.
Spellshape: Actions with the spellshape trait tweak the properties of your spells. You must use a spellshape action directly before casting the spell you want to alter. If you use any action (including free actions and reactions) other than casting a spell directly after, you waste the benefits of the spellshape action. The benefit is also lost if your turn ends before you cast the spell. Any additional effects added by a spellshape action are part of the spell's effect, not of the spellshape action itself.
