Source Pathfinder Impossible Magic
Traditions Occult, Primal
Cast
Range touch
Target 1 creature
Duration 1 round
Your bones harmlessly puncture the skin of one arm, growing to form a hardened spiked gauntlet that can be used for both offense and defense. Make a melee spell attack against a target's AC, dealing 5d8 piercing damage and 1d8 persistent bleed damage (double damage on a critical hit). You gain a +1 circumstance bonus to your AC for the duration, as you deflect attacks with the gauntlet.
Spell Effect: Spiked Carapace
Heightened (+2) The initial damage increases by 2d8 and persistent bleed damage increases by 1d8.
Traits
Anything that doesn't list another rarity trait (uncommon, rare, or unique) automatically has the common trait. This rarity indicates that an ability, item, or spell is available to all players who meet the prerequisites for it. A creature of this rarity is generally known and can be summoned with the appropriate summon spell.
AttackAn ability with this trait involves an attack. For each attack you make beyond the first on your turn, you take a multiple attack penalty.
ConcentrateAn action with this trait requires a degree of mental concentration and discipline.
ManipulateYou must physically manipulate an item or make gestures to use an action with this trait. Creatures without a suitable appendage can't perform actions with this trait. Manipulate actions often trigger reactions.
MorphEffects that slightly alter a creature's form have the morph trait. Any Strikes specifically granted by a morph effect are magical. You can be affected by multiple morph spells at once, but if you morph the same body part more than once, the second morph effect attempts to counteract the first (in the same manner as two polymorph effects, described in that trait). Your morph effects might also end if you are polymorphed and the polymorph effect invalidates or overrides your morph effect. The GM determines which morph effects can be used together and which can't.
