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.)
- Metaphysics (I was at 106 when I bonded)
- (Other possibilities are Philosophy, Discipline)
- (Some amount of quest points?)
Attribute Modifiers
- Perception +8

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.

- Capture Image You're very own Poltergust 3000, also inflicts Spiritual Disjunction, and gives you a strong regenerative buff as the spirit is consumed.
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:
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"
During "Very Deep"
At "Nearly Complete"
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
