Spirit Level: 5th
Constellation: Hero
Binding DC: 23
Totems: You gain a totem bonus on the spirit's binding check if you meet some or all of these conditions.

• You possess a masterwork longsword, which you stab into the ground during Arturius's ceremony.
• You curse the lineage of Arturius's usurper as part of the ceremony, which requires 10 ranks in Knowledge (nobility).
• Arturius's seal is drawn within 10 feet of a natural barrow.

Ceremony: You rub a muddy mixture of kingly oil and clods of dirt over your arms, legs, and face.
Manifestation: When your limbs and face are covered in mud, the muck is pulled from your body, forming the likeness of a crowned knight in rusty armor and tattered clothing, eager to bind to your soul.

Skill at Arms: As a swift action, you increase the damage done by your weapon and supernatural attacks by 3d6+3 until the end of the turn. At 13th level, the bonus damage increases to 4d6+4, and at 17th level the bonus damage increases to 5d6+5. After using this ability, it becomes expended for 5 rounds.
Capstone Empowerment: While you benefit from skill at arms, creatures struck by your weapon and supernatural attacks must make a Fortitude save or fall prone. A creature need only make this save once per round when you attack it in this manner.

Inspire Courage: You gain the ability to inspire courage in your allies as if you were a bard of ½ your binder level. This benefit stacks with any bard levels you possess, up to your character level. You have a number of daily rounds of inspire courage equal to your Charisma bonus + ½ your binder (minimum 1).
King's Dancing Blade: You gain the ability to summon or dismiss a dancing sword as a move action. This weapon is a +1 dancing longsword. At 9th level and every 2 binder levels thereafter, the blade's enhancement bonus increases by +1 (maximum +5). After the weapon's 4 rounds have ended, it disappears. You may only have 1 dancing blade active at a time.
Royal Pleasantries: You gain an insight bonus on Diplomacy and Knowledge (nobility) checks equal to ½ your binder level.
Corpsewhisper: If you speak a creature's full name as a full-round action you can send it a message that is no more than 25 words long. The creature you message must be within 5 miles of you per binder level you possess and you can only use this ability once every hour.

Physical Sign: Your equipment appears rusted and smudged with grime no matter how much you attempt to clean it. Whenever you activate one of Arturius's granted abilities, your muscles surge with strength.
Personality: You are suspicious and jealous of everyone around you, though you act courteous and chivalrously, even to those below your station.
Favored Ally: Fey (any)
Favored Enemy: Humanoid (humans)
