Incarnum Spellbook

In order to use Incarnum magic you must take the "Adept: Incarnum" talent. Incarnum uses 3 key elements to decide your powers. Chakras, soulmelds, and essentia. Power comes primarily from shaping a soulmeld into the physical world, a piece of your own soul given physical form. This can be done at any time (takes a full round action) to summon any given soulmeld you have access to.

Soulmelds can be empowered by your essentia, putting additional essentia points (a swift action) into a meld can increase its power and effect. Once a character truly masters their abilities they will become capable of using Chakras, special spots along their body that a soulmeld can be bound to. Binding a soulmeld to a chakra unlocks the full potential of that soulmeld, but doing so takes an hour to do. However, once something is bound to a chakra even if its not shaped you cannot shape another one over it until you unbind it from the chakra.

Essentia is stored within the incarnum caster and does not go away on use, it is simply shifted into a soulmeld. The exception is with Incarnum active talents and abilities that require the expenditure of essentia. If essentia is expended on an active ability then it will return after 8 hours. Your starting essentia is equal to your constitution modifier, if you ever expend essentia on an active ability you lose 2 con until you recover it.

In order to place Essentia into a meld you must first bind that meld to a chakra. You can only manifest 1 meld to start though you can take talents that allow you to manifest more simultaneously.

On this page are the Incarnum talents that can't be found in the general talents page, as they only apply to incarnum users. See below.
