Facetal
Source Pathfinder #225: Vaultlines pg. 228Formed under immense geological pressure over untold eons, facetals are intelligent, eloquent elemental gemstones. While facetals can't affect the world in their true gem forms, they can focus their inner radiance to create corporeal bodies made of hardlight.

Everpresent Gem
No matter what form they project to the world, a facetal node’s true body—their gem—is always visible somewhere on their hardlight body. Since a facetal node senses the world through this gemstone, they often go to great pains to hide the stone’s significance, disguising it as an ordinary piece of jewelry, the crystal on the tip of a walking staff, or some other mundane jewel. A facetal’s gem is functionally unbreakable, requiring the will of a god or similar force to shatter it. Gathering Moss
While their younger cousins, facetal nodes, travel to accumulate knowledge, facetal branches turn their explorations inwards, scrutinizing past actions for minor imperfections that could stunt their slow, crystalline growth. When they identify a flaw, they can reach backwards in time to alter their past—but only if their past self occupies the same location as their present one. For this reason, facetal branches tend to stay put.
