Spirit Companion
The Priest performs a sacred bonding ritual in isolation, communing with the spirit he is trying to bond. The priest and spirit form an agreement that they both respect and adhere to. At the end of the ritual the priest offers the spirit a sliver of his soul, so that the spirit can manifest. The spirit offers some of its own force to strengthen the bond between master and servant. At the end of the 24 hour ritual, the priest takes a portion of the spirits life essence and forces some of his own soul into the spirit. In doing this he forces the spirit to bend to his will and do his bidding. Should a spirit that is bonded to a character die, the priest will suffer by a sense of hollowness for a week, this is a result of losing a part of your soul, and the time it takes for the sliver of soul to find its way back. During this week the priest cannot bind a new companion. When a week has passed, he can either call back the spirit he had bonded with from the ether or find a new one. At the end of this guide you will find statistics for your spirit and leveling table with special abilities.

Ritual of Peace
When a spirit guide learns the ritual of peace, he can by spending 1 hour at a location of 100 feet radius/level give peace and rest for the departed. When preforming this ritual the priest will guide the spirits of the departed to their final resting place. By doing this the priest make sure the bodily remains rest in peace and cannot be animated. This ritual costs 1 gold in incenses.

Aura of Purity

This is a manifestation of the priests ability to soothe and bring peace to the spirits around him thus gaining there aid. In effect this aura gives allies within the area a +1 divine bonus on attack rolls, saves and skill checks. This ability increases its effective area and power every 3 levels above 3rd. At 3rd level the aura is 30 feet radius centered on the priest. Every time the aura bonus increase, the area of the aura increase by 10 feet as well. Example, a level 9 priest will have +3 to attack, saves and skill checks and the aura will have a 50 feet radius. A priest can activate and deactivate this aura as a full round action that provokes an attack of opportunity. This aura can be used at will.

He can activate this ability as a standard action, and maintain it for 1 min/level. This time does not have to be consecutive, so he can activate and deactivate it multiple times per day, but they must be in 1 min intervals.

Aura of Peace
When the spirit guide gains this power his aura of purity makes the creatures that are slain within the area rest in peace, thereby giving slain foes and friends alike a sense of peace and rest in the afterlife. A person can still be resurrected with spells that brings back life to the dead, but they cannot be animated or turned into an undead.

A priest reaching this amount of power and attunement to the spirits and souls around him can see the truth of the soul. When the priest activates soul sight, he gains the effect of true seeing. He can use this ability for 1 min/level. This time does not have to be consecutive, so he can activate and deactivate it multiple times per day, but they must be 1 min intervals.

The Spirit Companion
The spirit companion is the soul of a person or being that has passed away. This soul is brought back to the realm of the living by the magic of the priest it is following. The spirit looks human, but if you study it closely, you will notice that its eyes lack any color, that it does not breathe, and by close study one can sense a sort of hollowness to it. A spirit can speak, but rarely does so, since its voice is hollow and distant.
