Istago was a tragic painter driven to insanity by the relentless demands of his talent. He grants worthy artists the ability to repaint reality itself. Summoning RulesThe following describes the requirements and rituals for binding Muse Istago. Spirit Level: 3rd
Ceremony: You sip mildly hallucinogenic tea and begin to draw or paint a picture that resembles some aspect of you. Granted AbilitiesMute Istago grants the following abilities. Major Granted Abilities Paint Reality: You may paint over reality as you see fit. You can paint anything you wish into existence, as if you were using major image with a caster level equal to your binder level. Your paintings last for 24 hours or until dismissed but you may only have one painting active at a time. After using this ability, it becomes expended for 5 rounds. Capstone Empowerment: Your paintings no longer require concentration, like the spell persistent image, and their effects grow stronger as your binder level improves. At 9th level you can paint scenery as hallucinatory terrain. At 11th level your paintings include visual stimuli as permanent image and you can paint scenery as mirage arcana. At 13th level you can paint partially real creatures as simulacrum. Minor Granted Abilities
Dreams of the Muse: This ability functions like scrying except as noted here. When you use this ability you must designate one place or person you wish to scry. Afterwards, you immediately fall asleep for the spell's casting time and duration, dreaming of whatever you specified. You cannot cast spells through your scrying and a creature that succeeds its saving throw cannot be scried on by this ability for 24 hours. If your target succeeds on its saving throw, you dream of your youth instead. Signs and InfluenceThe spirit affects you in the following ways:
Physical Sign: Your skin and clothing are covered with splotches of paint that cannot be washed off. Whenever you use one of Istago's granted abilities, a swath of color circles you, as if a paintbrush were painting it. Vestigial CompanionYou gain the service of a chameleon familiar for the duration of the pact. Use the statistics for a lizard familiar. Treat your binder level as your wizard level to determine your familiar's abilities. This granted ability replaces perfect attributes. |
