As immediate action, draw up to 150 feet of twine or up to 50 feet of hemp rope from robe but gives robe broken condition and suppresses powers until repaired. Twine or rope remains connected until cut or torn but is treated as common material rather than part of a magic item. Pieces removed become normal twine or rope.

Magic Crafter Gain +1 trait bonus on Appraise checks (factored into Skills section) and +1 bonus on any Craft checks attempted while making magic items.

Metamagic Feats Apply metamagic feat on the spot during casting, increasing standard action time to cast to full-round action (not the same as 1-round casting time). For spell with longer duration, it takes an extra full-round action to cast the spell. Does not change level of the spell, so the DC for saving throws does not increase. Does not affect spell-like abilities. Can apply multiple metamagic feats (assuming you have an available spell slot of the resulting level) but cannot apply same metamagic feat to single spell multiple times.

Extend Spell Duration is doubled. Cannot affect spell with duration of concentration, instantaneous, or permanent. Uses spell slot one level higher than spell's actual level.

Seeking Spell Cast a spell and either define route to target yourself or unambiguously identify a target with spell range as target and allow spell to determine its own path; any ranged attacks are not subject to cover or concealment. Selected spell must have range greater than touch and either target one or more creatures or required ranged touch attack. Uses spell slot two levels higher than spell's actual level.

Still Spell A stilled spell can be cast with no somatic components. Uses spell slot one level higher than spell's actual level.

Metamagic Pool (Ex) When casting a spell, may expend one metamagic pool point for each extra level of spell slot a metamagic feat would require to use and not use a higher level spell slot to cast; must have sufficient pool to reduce entire cost of all applied metamagic feats. Total added spell levels still may not exceed maximum level spell you can cast. Spells thus augmented have normal casting time rather than the increased casting time normally required to enhance known spells with metamagic. Refresh metamagic pool when regaining spells for day.

Odd Anatomy (Ex) Cannot equip items in feet slot as you have not feet; however, you can wear one additional belt.

Protective Shell (Ex) As standard action, pull entire body into shell. While inside, blind, paralyzed, and gain DR x/—, where x equals 5 + character level. Only action you can take in shell is standard action to come out of shell, which ends above effects.
