Aid Casting (Sp) An incanter servilis can amplify magical abilities of another creature within 30 feet, granting the target +1 profane bonus to caster level until the start of the incanter's following turn. Bonus from multiple incanters providing magical aid stack for spells and spell-like abilities with evil descriptor, with a maximum bonus of +4. Aid casting provokes attacks of opportunity and can be disrupted by damage.


Serviles (sing. servilis) are petty fiends formed of excess spiritual residue of the lower planes. They are submissive, groveling, cowardly, and mix laziness and desire to please powerful masters in an unpredictable degree. They are receptive to bribes and prone to malice and petty vindictiveness when not subdued with terror. When properly coaxed to work, they can be quite competent in their narrow field of expertise, though, despite all their complaints and attempts to evade hard work.

Incanter serviles are among the haughtiest of the serviles, often acting as acolytes to ritualists, tutors to black magicians, and herders of lesser minions for greater fiends. They often overestimate their magical expertise and their master's reliance on them, though.
