Feed on Quintessence (arcane, exploration, manipulate) Over the course of 1 hour, the quintessivore removes and deconstructs the soul of a creature. The creature targeted by Feed On Quintessence must either be captive or have been dead for no more than 2 hours before the start of the process. At the end of the hour, the quintessivore consumes the quintessence of the creature's soul. For the next month, it gains a +1 status bonus to its spell DC and spell attack roll, and it adds 6th-level never mind and vampiric exsanguination to its arcane prepared spells.
Restoring a creature to life whose soul has been fed upon in this way is difficult, requiring a DC 21 Religion or Occultism check as part of the effort—failure indicates the attempt to restore life fails and any resources expended in the attempt are lost. Slaying the quintessivore in question ends this complication.
Suspend Soul [one-action] (arcane) The quintessivore suspends the life processes of a dying creature within 15 feet of it. The creature can't decrease or increase its HP or dying value for 10 minutes. The creature can attempt a DC 19 Will save to avoid this effect. If the creature receives magical healing, it can attempt a new save, ending the effect and being healed normally on a success. The effect ends if the quintessivore uses Suspend Soul again.Tattered Soul A creature hit by the quintessivore's bladeleg Strike must succeed at a DC 19 Fortitude save or become drained 1 (drained 2 on a critical failure). If the creature is already drained, it's immune to this effect.
