Aspect shadow; Prerequisites The relic is a weapon.
Activate[>>] command, Interact; Frequency once per hour; Effect Your relic's shadow detaches from your relic and dances through the air to attack an enemy. When you Activate the relic, designate a target. The relic's shadow flies up to 60 feet until it is adjacent to that foe and then makes a Strike against it, dealing 5d8 damage on a success or double that on a critical success; the damage type is of any type normally dealt by your relic. The shadow uses your attack bonus with the relic, and it uses and contributes to your multiple attack penalty. While this activation is in effect, you can use a single action, which has the attack and concentrate traits, to mentally direct the shadow to make another Strike against the same target. The shadow lasts until that target is reduced to 0 Hit Points, that target moves more than 400 feet from you, or that target moves to an area where no shadow could be cast, such as an area of complete darkness, whichever comes first.
The shadow doesn't take up space, grant flanking, or have any other attributes a creature would, and it automatically follows the chosen foe. The shadow can't make any attack other than its Strike, and feats or spells that affect weapons do not apply to it.
Activate[>>] command, envision; Effect Your relic creates a path from your shadow to a nearby one, teleporting you and any items you're wearing or holding from your current space to an unoccupied one within 30 feet that you can see. You can't use the dark roads gift again for 1d4 rounds.
If the destination is not within an area of bright light, the range is instead 60 feet. If this would bring another creature with you—even if you're carrying it in an extradimensional container—the gift fails.
Activate[>>] command, Interact; Effect A spark flashes out from the relic toward a creature within 20 feet. This spark deals 1d12 electricity damage (basic Reflex save). The damage increases by 1d12 at 6th level and by another 1d12 every 4 levels thereafter.
Activate[>>] envision, Interact; Effect Your stare causes a creature's flesh to rot and wither away. Target a creature you can see within 30 feet. Your stare deals 1d6 negative damage to the creature for every 2 levels the relic has (minimum 1d6; basic Fortitude save). An undead creature or other creature with negative healing targeted this way is instead healed 1d6 HP per level of the relic and is temporarily immune to this effect for 10 minutes.
Aspect celestial; Prerequisites The relic is a weapon.
Activate[>>] command; Effect Drawing upon divine fury, you single out a target that damaged you or an ally within the past round and fill your relic with divine vengeance against them. Make a Strike against that foe, dealing an additional damage die on a hit. If the target is evil, it is also enfeebled 1 until the start of your next turn on a hit (or enfeebled 2 on a critical hit).
Activate[R] envision; Frequency once per hour; Trigger You would be adversely affected by an emotion effect; Effect The relic tries to neutralize the triggering effect with its own emotion, attempting a counteract check. If the check succeeds, you feel a sudden rush of the relic's emotion and the counteracted effect doesn't take hold of you.
Activate[R] command; Frequency once per day; Trigger You're about to roll a saving throw; Effect You laugh at fate and revel in your draconic arrogance. If you roll a critical success on the saving throw, you can attempt to Demoralize the creature that created the effect that forced you to roll the saving throw (if any). If you roll a success, you critically succeed instead. If you roll a failure (but not a critical failure), you succeed instead. If you roll a critical failure, however, you're forced to face your own hubris and become frightened 2.
Activate[>>] command, envision; Frequency once per day; Effect The soul seed casts 8th-level dragon form targeting you; you must take the dragon form corresponding to the soul seed's draconic origin.
You grow scales that guard against draconic attacks. You gain a +1 status bonus to AC against attacks from dragons and resistance to an energy type corresponding to the soul seed's draconic origin (such as fire resistance from a red dragon) equal to half the relic's level (minimum resistance 1).
Activate[>] command; Frequency once per hour; Effect Ghostly images of draconic claws form around your hands and linger in the air when you attack. For 1 minute, when you make a successful unarmed melee Strike, you deal an additional 1d6 slashing damage.
At 11th level, you can use the ability once per 10 minutes instead of once per hour.
