Proficiencies: Midnight Shapers gain no proficiency with any weapon or armor.
Incarnum Body (Ex): Your levels in Midnight Shaper stack with your levels in the Incarnum class used to enter this prestige class for purposes of determining your Max Essentia capacity, amount of essentia. If you have multiple classes before entering this prestige class, you must choose one to progress.
Midnight Investment (Su): The Midnight Shaper learns the keystone ability of his class. He gains the ability to invest his essentia into his astral constructs. The Nidnight Shaper gains the rudimentary understanding necessary to invest his astral constructs with his essentia, as he gains levels he unlocks other abilities to invest into.
The Midnight Shaper can invest essentia into any of the abilities that are unlocked as if they were soulmelds as part of the swift action used to adjust his essentia. He may invest in any amount of abilities, including into multiple astral constructs.
At 1st level, the Midnight shaper must be within 30 ft of his Astral construct to invest his essentia, likewise the astral construct must remain within 30 ft to retain the benefit. This range increases as the midnight shaper gains levels, at 3rd it is 100 ft, 5th it is 500 ft, 7th it is 1000 ft and at 9th it is 1 mile per level of the astral construct created.

Resistances: Increase the astral constructs resistance(s) by 3 for each point of essentia invested. If the astral construct has no Resistance(s), this has no affect.
Sneak Attack: For each point of essentia invested the astral construct gains +1d6 sneak attack as the rogues ability (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/classes/rogue.htm#sneakAttack).
Deadly Aura: Bestow a damaging aura. The aura deals 1d8 points of damage per point of essentia invested (Fort half, DC 10 + 1/2 construct’s HD + essentia invested) to all creatures adjacent to the construct at the end of the construct’s turn.

The range at which the Midnight shaper is able to funnel is mental power is the same as the same as the midnight investment ability.
