Pikrosphaera (Empathic Bond)

From LSWiki

Description

This is a perfect sphere of quartz with a round sapphire inset into its anterior and several dangerous-looking blades protruding from it dorsally and ventrally, and laterally left and right. It hovers in the surrounding air. You recognize it as a pikrosphaera, an extraordinarily rare denizen of the Exoma. Little is known about pikrosphaera history or ecology as they are difficult to observe: they are very shy and very dangerous. It has been conjectured based on their material composition that they have some relationship with the kazar. It looks about one and a half dimins across. It is in good shape.

Bonding

You need to first bond with a Kazarzeth weapon, which of course requires you to get to level 15 first. Pikrosphaera will run away rather quickly upon finding one in Exoma, so bond fast. They seem to emerge when there are remains laying about -- for reasons that will become more apparent once you bond with one.

Boons

You sense that you have one method by which you can form an empathic bond: a full essence bond via archsymbiosis, a means provided by the Zetesai. This bond is fulfilled by Lattice, with whom your connection is very frail. You sense that it is thoroughly satiated and not thirsty. You may break your empathic bond with it by concentrating on doing so.

You sense that this bond is enabling you to perform a couple of charms, arcane feats accomplished by simple mental acts.

First, the ability to determine what types of blood a kazarzeth blade is thirsty for. To do this, concentrate on learning what my kazarzeth blade thirsts for.

Second, the ability to urge your familiar to specific action. This ability can be used even if you do not know where your familiar is. To do this, concentrate on urging your familiar to undertake the desired action.

Thirst

You link your anthropic mind with Lattice's animal one. Both your black eyes and Lattice's sapphire shimmer weakly for a brief moment. You stare intently at your crystal longsword. The crystal longsword vibrates for a moment, and you feel an mild resistance arising from it, followed by a strange confusion, and then a flood of information: the crystal longsword thirsts for the blood of lothari, drow, imps, humans, danaan, kentauroi, minotauroi, Amberites, aviar, hrimthyursar, invae, quessae, rachnei, kiellethae, chaosborn, fomori, ogres, adveni, rhaxa, and garou, thirsts strongly for the blood of thondur, dioracts, slaan, svirfneblin, faeries, skaven, duergar, slaadi, goblins, trolls, urlnu, vlekthid, gnomes, and sleestak, does not want the blood of kedethim, raktorak, sekh, phaethon, or dragons, and detests the blood of domandanur, yeti, or gogtzulu.
