The force of refracted light is so flexible that you may bind it to any chakra. It appears as prismatic items of various colors when shaped.

Additionaly, this soulmeld may be binded on multiple chakras at the same time, unless you bind it to the throat, heart or soul chakra.

Essentia: The bonus increases by one per every point of essentia you invest in this soulmeld.  

Chakra Bind (Crown)

You bind the color red to your crown. It appears as a crimson helm onto your head.

You gain a bonus on Intimidate checks equal to the bonus on saves for patterns given by the soulmeld. If you charge you may make a free Intimidate check to make the target shaken (but no worse than that) for the entire encounter. Your DC is the result of the Will save the opponent must do. 

Chakra Bind (Brow)

You bind the color blue to your brow chakra. It appears as a cerulean crown on your head.

You gain a bonus against divination and illusion effects equal to the bonus on saves for patterns given by the soulmeld. If you succed on the save you may reflect the divination effect back to the caster. You may unleash a gaze attack to daze the target for one round per point of essentia invested. The target may make a Will save to negate the effect. 

Chakra Bind (Throat)

You bind all the color together to your throat chakra. A multicolor collar appears onto your neck.

You gain a breath weapon. It covers a line of 30 feet (9 meters). Anyone caught in the shimmering light is subjected to the spell prismatic spray.

You bind the indigo color to your shoulders chakra. It appears as six sapphire rods on your back, that stick out three per side.

You gain spell resistance 10 + 5 per every two points of essentia invested in this soulmeld. 

Chakra Bind (Heart)

You combine the various colors together to produce white light then you bind it to your heart chakra. You appear to radiate light.

You emit light as bright as a daylight spell. As a standard action you may unleash a white beam of light from your body. You may make a ranged touch attack within 50 feet (15 meters). It deals 4d8 + 1d8 of damage per every point of essentia you invested in this soulmeld. This damage overcomes any energy resistance and counts as a force effect for the purpose of hitting incorporeal targets. You must wait three rounds before using it again. 

Chakra Bind (Arms)

You bind the color green to your arms chakra. It appears as verdant armored sleeves on your upper limbs.

You gain a +3 bonus to AC and a bonus on saves against poison equal to the bonus on saves for patterns given by the soulmeld. 

Chakra Bind (Hands)

You bind the color yellow to your hands chakra. It appears as saffron armguards on your forearms.

Your attacks are imbued with electricity. You deal and extra 1d6 + 1 point of damage per every essentia point invested, when you hit with your weapon or natural weapon, ranged or not. This damage is electrical damage. 

Chakra Bind (Waist)

You bind the color violet to your waist chakra. It appears as a great purple belt.

You emit a baleful aura in 10 feet (3 meters) around you. It deals 1d4 + 1d4 of force damage per every point of essentia invested in this soulmeld (up to 5d4). Targets may do a Fortitude save to half the damage. 

Chakra Bind (Feet)

You bind the color orange to your feet chakra. It appears as tangerine greaves on your lower legs.

You gain a bonus on Jump checks equal to the bonus on saves for patterns given by the soulmeld. Your base land speed increases of 10 feet (3 meters) per every two points of essentia invested. You may run only 10 feet (3 meters) to make a long jump and you may make high jumps as if you were two sizes larger. 

Chakra Bind (Soul)

You combine the various colors together to produce white light then you bind it to your soul chakra. A transparent prism appears, floating above your head.

You gain a deflection bonus to AC equal to 1 + 1 per every point of essentia invested in this soulmeld. This bonus stacks with other deflection bonuses to AC. Your bonus to saves against patterns now applies to all saves, for any effect. You are immune to pattern effects and any effect that has the word "prismatic" in it, such as prismatic spray. As a standard action you may unshape this soulmeld to replicate the spell prismatic wall or prismatic sphere. It lasts one minute + one additional minute per every essentia point you invested in this soulmeld.
