Universal Language Anything spoken by the phantom of desire is perceived by the listener in its native language.
Urban Legend As brainchild. This phantom is a manifestation of the pernicious rumors throughout the Inner Sea region that Sorshen is hiding her true intentions as ruler of New Thassilon and is biding her time for a chance to reveal her true motives to the world once she’s lulled everyone into a false sense of security. A PC who Seeks or Senses Motive on a phantom of desire with a DC 44 Perception check realizes that the phantom of desire doesn’t actually do additional bleed damage with her strikes, doesn’t have her Enticing Charade ability, and doesn’t have any innate spells at all. Unlike the typical brainchild, phantoms of desire are fully created by the animus of longing; they do not possess the typical Persistence of Memory ability most brainchildren have.
