Vellatur Lacrimae detects as magical, but functions as masterwork banded mail.
Vellatur Lacrimae detects as magical, but functions as masterwork half plate with a base +1 maximum Dexterity bonus and -6 armor check penalty (reduced to a -5 armor check penalty as a result of being masterwork).
Vellatur Lacrimae is +1 full plate. Vellatur Lacrimae burns hotter and sheds light as a torch whenever fiends come within 100 feet of it.
Vellatur Lacrimae also grants whoever wears it access to the Nature ((fire) package) sphere (which the wearer may cast at CL 2nd). In addition, like a spell engine, the suit also provides a single temporary spell point which must be recharged. This spell point may only be used to power any sphere talents or abilities which Vellatur Lacrimae provides.
Any sphere talent or ability which Vellatur Lacrimae provides is now cast at CL 4th. In addition to the Nature ((fire) package) sphere, the wearer is also granted access to the Nature’s Carapace talent.

Once per day you may enter an untethered state, your body puts off an aura of heat affecting all creatures and objects within reach (including yourself). Each round that you are untethered, the heat severity level in the affected area increases by 1 step (maximum heat severity 4 + 1 step per 7 points of base attack bonus). Any round that you are not untethered, the heat severity level in the affected area decreases by 1 step, until it has reached normal heat levels. For the purpose of control weather, you are considered to have a magic skill bonus equal to your base attack bonus. You are untethered until you are out of combat for 5 rounds or have been made helpless for more than one round.

Justice Claws

(+2 Claw Blades)

Relic

The Justice Claws detect as magical, but function as masterwork claw blades. The Justice Claws shed light as a candle at all times as motes of light drip from the claws like water before disappearing moments later.
The Justice Claws also grant whoever wears them access to the Boxing sphere.
The Justice Claws grant a +2 competence bonus to Charisma based rolls.
The Justice Claws become +1 Claw Blades. In addition to the Boxing sphere, the Justice Claws now grant the user the Launching Uppercut (counter) talent. The Justice Claws leave streaks of iridescent light, like claw marks through the air, whenever they’re moved. Any square the Justice Claws pass through sheds normal light in a 5-foot radius for one round, and increases the level of illumination by one step (to a maximum of normal) in a 10-foot radius.
The Justice Claws also grant whoever wears them the Alteration sphere (which the wearer may cast at CL 2nd). However, you may not select pincers or purposefully adjust cosmetics when casting using the claws. In addition, like a spell engine, the claws also provide a single temporary spell point which must be recharged. This spell point may only be used to power any sphere talents or abilities which the Justice Claws provide. When the Alteration sphere is cast via the claws the user always takes on a scaled draconic appearance. This grants a +10 bonus on Disguise checks when imitating any type of scaled creature. This does not count against the trait limit.
In addition to the Boxing sphere and the Launching Uppercut (counter) talent, the Justice Claws now grant the user the Chasing Assault talent.
Any sphere talent or ability which the Justice Claws provide is now cast at CL 4th. In addition to the Alteration sphere, the wearer is also granted access to the Powerful Limbs talent.
The Justice Claws become +2 Claw Blades. In addition to the Boxing sphere, Launching Uppercut (counter) and Chasing Assault talents, the Justice Claws now grant the user the Tight Guard talent.

Homebrew Feats

Case IV

Limit Break (Aristeia)

Feat

You've got to hang in there. Your limit gauge is just starting to build.

Benefit: Upon gaining this feat work with the GM to create a Limit Break using the technique system. Ignore the creation times for the sake of this feat. In any situation where you could use Aristeia, you gain access to the special techniques made using this feat. While you are in Aristeia, you may end your Aristeia state early to perform your Limit Break. The technique takes a full-round action and costs no resources when used in this manner. The situation tied to this feat is forced to be "When I'm at 25% or less HP." You may take this feat twice, upon gaining a second time the situation changes to "When I'm at 50% or less HP." You do not gain an additional situation trigger.

Durationinstantaneous

Saving ThrowReflex half; Spell Resistance no

Prerequisites Dual Wielding sphere (Cyclone Cut), Guardian sphere (Patrol), Warp sphere (Pouncing Teleport, Quick Teleport, Recall)

Description

You cause black and blue distortions as you ripple across the battlefield. Rather than instantly appearing next to your opponent, you travel and home in on your targets, tracing a visible line on the floor when performed on the ground. As a standard action you expend your Martial Focus and spend 6 Spell Points to teleport to a point within Close range and each creature within 15 ft. of you must take damage equal to your weapon damage for both your primary and one of your off-hand attacks. A successful Reflex save reduces this damage by half. At 3 base attack bonus you may increase the radius by 10 ft. For every 5 additional base attack bonus afterward you possess, you may increase the radius by an additional 10 ft.

At the end of the round you may return to where you initiated the technique provided you are still within range of it.
