Saving Throw: Fortitude partial
Target: See text
Special: None
Power: Chains of lightning burst from the ground and dig vicious hooks into targets, pulling taught and binding them to the spot they stand, pulling harder until they tear out the target's very soul.

One chain holding a target immobilizes, the second chain stops all physical movement short of speaking, the third chain paralyzes, and the fourth chain attempts to rip out the soul, killing the target unless they succeed on a Fortitude save. However channeling this lightning shocks the body, dealing 1d6 lightning damage to the scholar whenever he deploys a chain.

Ring of Burning Sacrifice
Prerequisites: Dissolve
Duration: 1 round/level
Saving Throw: None
Target: One creature
Special: None
Power: A ring of shimmering red acid wraps around the finger of the target, giving them the powers to utterly destroy their foes.

If four additional points of soulstrength are expended in this manner, the weapon is treated as a +5 Vorpal Wounding scythe.

Rift Sphere
Prerequisites: Rift Shards
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: Fortitude partial
Target: One creature
Special: None
Power: A rift in reality tears open to form a spherical surface completely around the target creature, which is torn apart into every direction and sucked into the hole, then torn into infinitesimal pieces which are infinitely stretched and crushed, burned and frozen, annihilated and rebuilt, aged for an eternity and taken back to a time before they existed, then restored and slammed back violently into a mostly coherent being, exhumed into reality, and hurled back together from all directions into the spot where they stood. The target suffers six of the following effects (separate saves), chosen randomly from the following 12:
1: The complete loss of eyes and ocular structure, requiring a wish, miracle, or stronger to fix. On a successful Fortitude save, the target is permanently blinded instead.
2: The complete loss of ears and auditory structure, requiring a wish, miracle, or stronger to fix. On a successful Fortitude save, the target is permanently deafened instead.
3: The complete loss of vocal chords, requiring a wish, miracle, or stronger to fix. On a successful Fortitude save, the target is permanently incapable of speech instead.

10: The wrists are mutilated into a non-functional structure, causing a -4 to hit and damage as well as the loss of proficiency with all weapons, requiring a wish, miracle, or stronger to fix. On a successful Fortitude save, the wrists are only damaged to this degree and suffer the same penalties but can be healed with a regenerate spell.
11: The intestines are permanently rearranged in a disgusting and broken manner. The target is initially nauseated for 1d4 minutes and afterwards becomes nauseated for 1d4 rounds whenever they take actions amounting to more than a single move or standard action in one round. This requires a wish, miracle, or stronger to fix. On a successful Fortitude save, the damage is simpler and can be fixed by a regenerate spell.
12: Roll again twice.
In addition to these effects, the target takes 75 points of damage, minus the result of another Fortitude save. If the same effect is rolled twice, then the target is affected two times with the result.

While in this form an anti-magic field surrounds you out to 50 feet. You gain the ability to hurl bolts of anti-magic as a standard action which deal 10d6 damage and attempt to dispel all magic on the target as dispel magic. In addition, you may summon and dispel a pair of weapons at any time: A +3 Brilliant Energy short sword and a +2 Vorpal sickle. While wielding these weapons, you are treated as having a base attack bonus equal to your level, as proficient with the weapons, and you make attacks at a dual wielding penalty of only -2/-2, and may make as many attacks with your off hand as with your main hand. When this weave ends, the energies leave the scholar a magicless shell. For one day after the end of the weave, the scholar may only cast weaves by expending constitution in place of soulstrength.
Strengthen: For every two additional points of soulstrength expended on this weave, the duration increases by 1 round. While under the effects of this weave, the scholar may expend two points of soulstrength to cast any of the following as a caster of his level as a standard action: Holy Aura, Unholy Aura, Energy Drain, Greater Restoration, Heal, Harm, Holy Word, Blasphemy.
Reckoning
Prerequisites: Cleansing Nova, Shackles of Black Lightning, Blessing of Life, Rift Sphere
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: Fortitude partial
Target: 200 ft. burst
Special: This weave must originate in location from the scholar
Power: In a mass composite of weaves, the tearing strength of the rift blasts out the cleansing nova with greater force, whilst your enemies are held down by chains of lightning and your allies are kept alive in the blast by your powers of healing. All within the radius are annihilated. If they succeed on a Fortitude save, then they are allowed to make a second save. If they fail the second save (after making the first), they are reduced to ash, but if they succeed on the save, they suffer 20d8 damage, half lightning and half fire which bypasses all resistance and immunity. Any caught in the blast that the scholar considers an ally are constantly regenerated while the destruction rages around them, causing unimaginable pain. They all suffer 40d8 points of nonlethal damage, which is reduced by half on a successful Fortitude save. Channeling such a blast through himself is something that the scholar cannot stop even with his healing magic, and upon completion of this weave the scholar is killed and reduced to ash.
Strengthen: By expending five additional points of soulstrength, the scholar may hold his form together, and instead of being instantly killed instead suffers nonlethal damage like his other allies. The soulstrength expended to strengthen this weave must be gained by sacrificing Constitution.
