This is an attempt to theruge a Warlock and an Incarnum class, and fix an invocation that appeared in MoI, let's get to the invocation fix first.

Essentia Leech
(Fixes Steal Incarnum)
Least; 2th; Eldritch Essence

This eldritch essence allows you to change your Eldritch Blast into an Essentia Leech. When you successfully hit an incarnum using foe with an Essentia Leech, your opponent must succeed on a will save or loose a number of points of essentia, equal to the number of dice your Eldritch Blast normaly deals. For example, a 7th level Warlock has an Eldritch Blast of 4d6, if he used this Essence, he would instead drain four points of essentia if his target failed his will save.

The drained Essentia is transfered to the Warlock. After 24 hours, the Warlock looses the essentia, and the target regains it. This essence has no effect if the target does not have an essentia pool.






Eldritch Shaper
Some Warlocks, in their quest to better understand magic, have come across meldshaping. A strange form of magic that involves borrowing the power of the souls of creatures, those who are dead, those who are alive and those who have yet to exist. Some Warlocks are fascinated by this, and strive to mix this strange magic with their own.

Entry Requirements:
Soulmelds: Must be able to shape at least four Soulmelds and bind one to a chakra
Invocations: Must know at least three invocations, one of which must be Essentia Leech

Class Features
(This class presumes that you are using a Warlock, and all class features are written with that in mind, but any class that uses Eldritch Blast may make full use of this PrC)

The following are considered class features of the Eldritch Shaper

Weapon and Armour proficiencies:
The Eldritch Shaper gains no new proficiency with weapons or armour

Invocations/Meldshaping
At each level, an Eldritch Shaper gains Invocations, Soulmelds, Essentia and Chakra Binds as though he continued in those classes. Essentially, you add your Eldritch Shaper level to your Warlock and Meldshaper classes, and then determine what invocations you can use, how many Soulmelds you can shape, how large your essentia pool is, how many Soulmelds you can bind to chakras and what chakras you can access via class levels. You do not gain any other class feature, such as Damage Resistance or the Incarnates Rapid Meldshaping ability.

Eldritch Blast (Su)
Your levels of Eldritch Shaper stack with your Warlock levels to determine how powerful your Eldritch Blast is. Additionaly, you may invest Essentia into your Eldritch Blast, every point invested increases your Eldritch Blast damage by 2d6.

This increases to 4d6 at level 5 and at 6d6 at level 10, but no further.

This ability does not increase the amount of Essentia that Essentia Leech steals.

Eldritch Essentia (Ex)
Your Warlock levels stack with your Meldshaper class to determine your total Essentia pool, however, Essentia gained in this manner cannot be invested in Soulmelds, but it can be invested in feats, class features, Invocations etc.

Additionally, Essentia Leech targets this Essentia first, protecting your Soulmelds.
