    • The raktavarna takes on the appearance of a Tiny inanimate object. If, while transformed, the raktavarna takes any action other than the purely mental (such as Recall Knowledge), they immediately revert to their original form.
    • Until then, they can use Deception to Impersonate the object.

    • A raktavarna can designate a creature as their master using a 10-minute invocation in which the master must participate. The raktavarna can revoke this status at any time.

  • Entries
    • As a 3-action activity with the concentrate trait, a raktavarna's master can observe the world through the raktavarna's eyes, instead of their own. This uses the raktavarna's Perception and darkvision. Each round, the master must spend a single action, which also has the concentrate trait, to maintain the connection.
    • This ability functions at any range, even on different planes of existence. If the raktavarna dies while their master is using this ability, the master is stunned 5.
