'''''{{Anchor|Paint Shot}}'' {{Sp}}:''' As a standard action, an Art Flow User can launch an orb of raw essence from the Art Flow (an energy that greatly resembles paint) which deals 1d6 damage per 2 [[SRD:Caster Level|caster levels]] (minimum 1d6) as a ranged touch attack (its caster level is equal to the Art Flow User's class level). In addition to the damage, a ''paint shot'' seeps into the skin of its victim, which is... not good for them in the slightest; it is [[SRD:Poison|poisonous]], dealing 1 [[Strength]], 1 [[Dexterity]], and 1 [[Constitution]] [[SRD:Ability Score Loss#Ability Damage|damage]] unless the victim succeeds on a [[Fortitude]] save (save [[DC]] is [[Charisma]]-based). Since the essence of the Art Flow is poisonous, a creature that fails its Fortitude save is poisoned and must make another Fortitude save 1 minute later or take the same ability damage again. A creature killed by ''paint shot'' (including if its [[Strength]], [[Dexterity]], or [[Constitution]] is reduced to 0) becomes a terrifyingly "realistic" statue, as if affected by ''[[SRD:Flesh to Stone|flesh to stone]]'' (except that they do not actually [[SRD:Petrified|turn to stone]] – they are simply chemically and supernaturally mummified, and indeed, while [[SRD:Stone to Flesh|''stone to flesh'']] is unable to restore a creature who has succumbed to such a fate, any form of revival, including [[SRD:Raise Dead|''raise dead'']], works normally, clearing the Art Flow from the subject's system). The Art Flow is a supernatural poison, so resistance or immunity to mundane poisons is useless against it. Unlike an artistic essence, if an Art Flow User strikes a creature with multiple ''paint shots'' in a round, that creature has to make a Fortitude save for each one. [[SRD:Spell Resistance|Spell resistance]] applies to each shot separately. Creatures with the <nowiki>[</nowiki>[[Special:SearchByProperty/Subtype/Water|Water]]<nowiki>]</nowiki> or <nowiki>[</nowiki>[[Special:SearchByProperty/Subtype/Cold|Cold]]<nowiki>]</nowiki> subtype take half damage from a ''paint shot'', gain a +4 bonus to their Fortitude saves against it, and gain a +6 bonus to their spell resistance against it if they have spell resistance. Creatures composed entirely of water or ice, such as [[SRD:Water Elemental|water elementals]], take only ⅓ of the damage from a ''paint shot'', gain a +8 bonus to their spell resistance against it (if they have spell resistance), and cannot be poisoned by it at all, even if such a creature is not already immune to poison, nor will it be pseudo-petrified if killed by the ''paint shot''. Art Flow Users also cannot be poisoned or pseudo-petrified by a ''paint shot'', and take half damage from it. An Art Flow User can use <i>Paint Shot</i> if he or she is soaked or immersed in water, encased in ice, or enveloped in steam up to at least his or her waist, but its damage is cut in half and its save DC is reduced by 4; it doesn’t regain full strength until the Art Flow User is completely dry. ''Paint Shot'' counts as ''eldritch blast'' for the purpose of prerequisites.

'''{{Anchor|Invocations}}:''' An Art Flow User receives several spell-like abilities identical in nature to the warlock's<ref name="ca">[[Publication:Complete Arcane|Complete Arcane]]</ref> invocations. He or she may use these invocations at will, though (s)he must still pay any relevant gold and experience costs, and they are affected by [[SRD:Arcane Spell Failure Chance|arcane spell failure]] in any armor and with shields. Invocations do not provoke [[SRD:Attacks of Opportunity|attacks of opportunity]] unless otherwise noted. Invocations come in three types: artistic shapes, which alter the shape and spread of his/her [[#Paint Shot|''paint shot'']] class feature; artistic essences, which augment his/her [[#Paint Shot|''paint shot'']] class feature with a rider effect; and invocations, which duplicate spells or have other, sometimes long-standing effects. An Art Flow User is unable to cast invocations if soaked, immersed in water, encased in ice, or enveloped in steam up to at least his or her waist(though some invocations can be cast in such a state, which will be noted in the description), and does not regain the ability to cast invocations until completely dry.
