Special Abilities

Darklight Malfunction (Su) A darklight reaver can cause a touched luminarian device to act erratically and unpredictably, possibly producing various quirks or make it spectacularly fail until repaired and re-calibrated.

Darklight Spawn (Su)  When a darklight reaver drops a living creature below 0 hit points, the victim is enveloped with a cocoon of magical darkness that completely consumes its corpse within 1d4+1 rounds, except for luminars. A luminar victim of this effect emerges from the cocoon of darkness as a darklight remnant under the darklight reaver's control. The cocoon can be dispersed with magical light of at least 2nd level.

Darklight Tendrils (Su) A darklight reaver can attack its enemies with tendrils of darkness extending from its spectral arms. They have exceptional reach and are treated as incorporeal touch attacks that overcomes damage reduction of any kind.

Whirlwind Of Tendrils (Su) A darklight reaver can make a single darklight tendril attack against any number of creature within its reach as a full-round action.

Darklight reavers are twisted and malevolent spirits of luminars that died corrupted with great darkness. They are sadistic beings that find great joy in extinguishing light of their living siblings and corrupting their technology.
