In addition, you may detect your opposite alignment (good and evil oppose one another, just as law and chaos oppose one another) as if using the detect alignment Divination ability. To use this ability, you must spend a move action and focus on a single item or creature within 60 feet. You do not detect alignment in any other object or creature when using this ability in this way.

Note that some oracle curses (such as haunted) grants a benefit that is not easily translated to the Spheres of Power system, and would most likely not be an advisable choice.

To create a poppet, you must personally collect a specimen directly from the creature body, such as a hair, a nail cutting, or drop of blood. Within 24 hours of collection, you must create a small poppet that incorporates the entire specimen, a process that takes 1 full minute and requires common materials of negligible cost (such as a handful of straw, mud, or wood). The poppet lasts indefinitely once created.

When you use a sphere ability, you may target the poppet to affect the creature it was made from, allowing you to affect them regardless of distance or line of sight, though they must be on the same plane. The sympathetic link makes the creature immediately aware of the incoming effect and allows them to defend against it without being surprised or asleep, though they are not made aware of the magic’s precise nature or source. After conveying magic once the poppet crumbles, becoming useless.

You may only possess a number of poppets equal to your casting ability modifier at one time, and only one poppet at a time for any given creature. If you collect a sample for a new poppet that would put you over these limits, an older poppet crumbles (either the already existing poppet for the creature targeted if you have one, or one of your choice if you don’t).

In addition, you heal the target 2 hit points per HD instead of 1 hit point per HD.
