Facetbound

Source Pathfinder #185: A Taste of Ashes pg. 84
Inspired by the work of the Azlanti and their obsessions with aeon stones, certain necromancers strive to tap into those curious magical items to create undead with powerful abilities. A facetbound is created from a living being with an aeon stone surgically attached to their skull who is killed in a specific, secret ritual. Each facetbound must bear a single aeon stone, and this stone determines the powers the facetbound wields (in place of the normal powers of the implanted stone).

The creation of a facetbound is difficult for several reasons, not least of which is the cost of the necessary aeon stones.
