Pneuma Echo (Su)
Prerequisite: Qì and spell casting ability
Use: 2 Qi points
Range: Personal
Action: Swift
Target: The next spell cast
Duration: Up to 1 minute per wisdom modifier
Special: Gain 1 extra qì point.
You infuse your next spell with your vital essence, allowing it to linger—untouched—until the moment of need. As a swift action, activate Pneuma Echo and declare a specific trigger condition (e.g., “Trigger on me when I fall below half health”).
The next spell you cast—within the same round—does not activate immediately. Instead, it is suspended within your Qì, and will automatically release when the trigger condition is met, so long as it occurs within the duration.
- All usual effects, including spell resistance, range, and targeting rules, apply when the spell activates.
- If the condition is not met before the effect expires, the spell is lost as though cast, and the Qì points and spell slot are expended.
VTT Description Macro:
@{character_name} shrouds their next spell in vital essence and gives it a trigger condition. The spell will go off as
normal, with all of its ranged, effects, etc... once the conditions are met. The conditions of trigger must be decrated
on use of this ability.
