The Multimage
There are many forms of magic in the world, but all are magic. Through detailed study of multiple forms of magic, the multimage has learned to tease out the threads of commonality between many different forms of magic, and by following those threads, to advance in the understanding of all of them.

Class Features
All the following are class features of the multimage prestige class
Weapon and Armor Proficiency
Multimages gain no proficiency with any weapon or armor
Spells per Day/Spells Known
When a new multimage level is gained, the character gains new spells per day (and spells known, if applicable) as if he had also gained a level in every spellcasting class he had before adding the level. He does not, however, gain any other benefit a character of those classes would have gained. This essentially means that he adds the level of multimage to the levels of all other spellcasting classes the character has, then determines spells per day, spells known, and caster level accordingly. A multimage with no levels in any spellcasting class does not gain any benefit from this feature.
Powers Known
When a new multimage level is gained, the character gains additional power points per day and access to new powers as if he had also gained a level in every manifesting class he belonged to before he added the prestige class level. He does not, however, gain any other benefit a character of those classes would have gained. This essentially means that he adds the level of multimage to the levels of all other manifesting class the character has, then determines power points per day, powers known, and manifester level accordingly. A multimage with no levels in any manifesting class does not gain any benefit from this feature.
Meldshaping
When a new multimage level is gained, the character increases his meldshaper level, the number of soulmelds he can shape, the number of chakra binds he can create, and his essentia pool as if he had gained a level in every meldshaping class to which he belonged before taking the multimage level. He does not, however, gain any other abilities of those classes, such as new tiers of chakra binds. A multimage with no levels in any meldshaping class does not gain any benefit from this feature.
Soul Binding
At every multimage level, if the character has the soul binding class ability, it improves as if he had also gained a level in the binder class. Thus, his multimage levels and binder levels stack for the purpose of determining his bonus on binding checks, the effectiveness of his vestige-granted abilities, his ability to bind higher-level vestiges, and the number of vestiges he can bind. He does not, however, gain any other benefit a binder would have gained. A multimage with no levels in any class with the Soul Binding class feature gains no benefit from this feature.
Utterances
At every multimage level, the character gains new utterances known as if he had gained a level in every utterance-speaking class he belonged to before taking the prestige class level. He does not, however, gain any other benefits of those classes. Effectively, he adds his multimage level to all of his utterance-speaking classes, and determines utterances known accordingly. A multimage with no levels in an utterance-speaking class gains no benefit from this feature.
