Slot: Neck
Saving Throw: Fortitude
A choker of feather and bone manifests around your throat pulsing wildly lending your words a vibratory pitch.
Shaping this veil allows you to unleash a devastating screech as a standard action, staggering all creatures in a 30 ft. cone originating from you for 1 round unless they succeed on a Fortitude saving throw. Creatures who succeed on a saving throw against this effect cannot be affected by it again for 24 hours.
Essence: For each point of essence invested in this veil the size of the cone increases by 5 ft. (going from a 30 ft. cone to a 35 ft. cone, for example). For every 2 points of essence invested in this veil, the duration of the staggered effect increases by 1 round.
Chakra Bind (Neck): [N14, P14, St16, Vi14] Binding this veil to your Neck chakra enhances the disruptive power of your screech. You may choose for creatures who fail their saving throw against this ability to be stunned for 1 round instead of staggered; the duration of the stunned effect is not increased by invested essence, and once a creature has been affected by this ability they cannot be affected again for 24 hours. Creatures who are grappled or entangled when they fail a saving throw against this effect are instead paralyzed for the duration of the effect. You must declare whether you are using this ability to stagger or stun at the time the ability is activated.
