Master Illusionist

Whenever the messenger ceases to concentrate on an illusion he is maintaining through concentration, or if he decides not to maintain an illusion at all after its creation, it remains for a number of rounds equal to 1/2 his fey adept level (minimum: 1) before disappearing.

Shadowstuff

Messengers gain a limited ability to wield shadowstuff—the pure essence of shadows. With this power, the messenger can affect the world around him with his illusions by weaving reality into the images.

The messenger gains a pool of shadow points equal to his Charisma modifier + 1/2 his fey adept level (minimum: 1).

Shadowmark

The messenger may spend a shadow point to hurl shadowstuff at a target within Close range, weakening its body and making its mind more susceptible to the messenger’s magic. This requires a ranged touch attack. If successful, the target takes 1d6 damage and suffers a -1 penalty to Will saves against all the messenger’s sphere abilities for 1 minute. This damage improves by 1d6 for every odd level the fey adept possesses.

Feats

The messenger gains no extra feats on first level.

Default: Pick Extra Magic Talent as your level 1 feat, and use it to get the Mind Sphere.
