Familiar

The jing shen is a creature hidden in a reality distortion native to the exoma, and is a dangerous combatant that's more than capable of displacing your limbs with contact from its vague center. They're small, intangible, have wingless flight, do not breathe or eat, and see with paravision.

Imagined

You experience feelings of mysteriousness, enlightenment, secretiveness, and self-reflection.

You experience visions of infinite reflections and scattered scenes of distant places.

Requirements

• Introspection (I was at 142 Introspection when I got mine.)
• (Other possibilities are Philosophy, Discipline, Metaphysics.)
• (Some amount of quest points?)

Attribute Modifiers

• Perception +8
• Intellect +5
• Willpower ??

I have the will chakra so my estimate isn't adequate. Will give it a better generalized order of which gains the most to which gains the least once I manage to lose the chakra.

Skill Effects

• Sword
• Dagger
• Metaphysics
• Redaction (spec access, need psionics to see)
• Metasenses (spec access, need psionics to see)

Special Attacks

Fairly Healthy (Late)

• Refract Image (Force damage)

Between the Other Two

• Distort Image (Temporal damage)

Very Deep

• Disrupt Image (Spacial disruption damage, which may be space + chaos?) I'm not sure if it's something else, but it's almost definitely clingy force damage.

Complete

• Capture Image You're very own Poltergust 3000, also inflicts Spiritual Disjunction, possibly only on living things?

Charms

Initially the jing shen grants the following charms:

• Urge
• Social Charms
• The ability to manifest a mirror shard slashing weapon w/ quality that increases with bond strength (you must re-visualize to see changes.) To do this, visualize a shard of a mirror reflecting my inner self [in the shape of a/an <cutting weapon>]. To end the effects of this charm, visualize a darkening mirror fading to nothingness. (I'm not sure what determines what weapons you can make, but I couldn't make some of the weirder ones -- it just said I didn't know how. :/ Maybe it's based off weapon lore or something? Also, if you put things in your mirror weapon they end up in your microcosm. You can also take them out of there through the weapon.)

Shortly after:

• Call Familiar
• Send Familiar
• Kinsee

At "fairly healthy" to "resilient" bond strength:

• Starsee
• Displacement Charm (weak af, about one third as good as a glom)
• The ability to analyze one's surroundings. To do this, visualize my surroundings as a set of abstract symbols. (acts like using the command survey with a panoramicon)
• Conjoin

At "Deep"

• Acquire Knowledge (Empathic Bonds)

During "Very Deep"

• Invisibility (Empathic Bonds)

At "Nearly Complete"

• Composition Analysis (Empathic Bonds)

Wasn't quite sure where to put this, but a couple things about the best mirror buddy ever:

• Jing shen have a discharge attack that is based off the consort's affinities.
• Sometime around deep I started getting the message " You sense alice resonating with your very being and drawing on your body and spirit to defend you." occasionally while in combat. Daww.
• You can't summon weapons or use any of the charms granted by the bond in an antimagic field, but the mirror weapon based maneuvers still work. Keep in mind distort image is more powerful the more temporal resistance something has, so mirror buddy is also a great bez/Blue/godslayer. :D
