• Boosts are performed as a swift action on her turn.
  • Admonishing Glare (AL1st, Boost) - Enemies take a -4 penalty to attack you until the end of your next turn; duration increases by 1 round per inspiration spent.
  • Dark Mirror (DK5th, Boost) - Gain 4 mirror images for 3 turns. You may expend one of these mirror images as an attack action to flank a foe with that image, making two attacks at your highest base attack bonus. You may then choose which square the real you is in, even if it is a different square than when you started.
  • Glistening Wall of Embers (AL2nd, Boost) - Allies within close range gain +1 sacred bonus to AC and stacking, regenerating temporary hit points equal to (Hsb) for 3 rounds.
  • Unyielding Gates of the Heavens (AL3rd, Counter) - In response to an attack, spell, or effect, you shield an area by transposing it slightly into another plane of existence to avoid it. This area is a column that extends out to the end of close range from you, and up to 20 feet above and 10 feet below you. This transposition only lasts for the duration of the triggering effect, up to the start of your next turn should it be longer than instantaneous. The stress of using this technique is severe, and you take hit point burn equal to your level whenever it is activated. If you spend at least 3 inspiration points on this technique, it persists until the end of your next turn. If the duration of this technique becomes longer than instantaneous, it protects against all effects that originate from beyond the area of effect, and creatures within the effect may choose to leave the area and lose the benefits and drawbacks of this technique's effects, but they may not be forced out except by you.
• Counters are immediate actions in response to certain triggers.
  • Gleam of Denial (AL1st, Counter) - When attacked in melee: Attacker takes -4 penalty to all damage rolls until the end of its next turn. You gain a sanctuary (WIS) until the start of your next turn.
  • Spiked Shield (DK1st, Counter) - When attacked: Increase your AC by +2 against that attack, attacker must make reflex save (STR) or take 1d8 points of damage.

  • Shield of Steel (DK2nd, Counter) - When attacked; You may use an attack roll in place of your touch AC against the triggering attack. If you spend at 2 inspiration points when using this technique, it is not expended.
• Strikes are standard actions.
  • Lightning Blade (HS3rd, Strike) - Ranged touch attack within 30ft; target takes 3d8+CHA electricity damage, and all creatures within a 10ft burst of the target (including the target) take 3d8 sonic damage. A fortitude save (CHA) halves the sonic damage. Both types of damage increase by +1d8 per point of inspiration spent.
  • Nightblade (HS1st, Strike) - Ranged touch attack within 20ft deals 1d8+CHA negative energy damage and heals you for the same. Damage increases by +1d8 per point of inspiration spent.
  • Twin Wing Guard (AL1st, Strike) - Gain a shield bonus to AC equal to (Hsb) until the start of your next turn; may make one melee attack against a foe within reach, and if successful increase the shield bonus by +1 and deal +1d6 (+1d8 if favored) damage. Increase damage by 1 die per point of inspiration spent.
  • Four Wing Guard (AL4th, Strike) - Gain 4 mirror images until the end of your next turn. As part of making this strike, you may make a single melee attack against a foe within reach, dealing +2d6 damage (+2d8 if favored). At any point in the duration of this technique, you may expend a mirror image to make a melee attack that also deals this bonus damage.
