Pact Magic Unbound, Vol 2 PLUS!

Lure more spirits to bargain for their power!

Continue your journey into the rituals, power, and dangers of pactmaking. You can scribe a few seals, but are you ready to bargain with devilish Forash, the Prince of Spirits? Call upon Kaylos, genie Master of Wishes? Or tangle with Jörmungandr, He Who Circles the World? You will surely need their aid to defy inquisitors, battle spirit-touched monstrosities, and shake off pact maladies that warp the soul. Your reward is your sanity and perhaps some scraps of lore, occult spells, and rare magic items made for intrepid binders like you.

Inside this 104 page guide, you will discover:

  • Thirty-two more spirits to bind, from 1st through 9th level, including more favorites drawn from the original Secrets of Pact Magic and Villains of Pact Magic.
  • More options for occultists.
  • Eight archetypes for non-core base classes such as the alchemist, gunslinger, and inquisitor, a powerful binder foe.
  • New uses for skills and more occult feats.
  • Spells, cleric domains, and subschools for binders and their foes, including exorcists.
  • Magic items such as occult armaments and wondrous items.
  • Esoterica: pact maladies, character traits, and the spirit-touched template

New Spirits

  • Arkensang, Fortune's Apostate: Born into a clan of barbarian warriors facing its last days, this maimed warrior subverted the prophecy of a goddess of death. When his soul was sent to its end he was forbidden final rest and thus lingers, eternally restless, promising the power to resist those who claim the license of divinity.
  • Cort Eiding, The Golden Gunman: Eiding was a simple mercenary, who owed too much to too many to leave this earth. To pay his debt, the Golden Gunman literally sells his soul.
  • Ia, The Illuminator: A staggeringly powerful creature from beyond the stars, Ia's every movement is a destructive force of nature. Alone at the cold and sterile end of the universe, he seeks a vessel on a more lively world; a world like yours.

New Archetypes

  • Haunting Occultist (Occultist Archetype): All occultists can bind spirits for power, but some occultists can use them in a more personal way. A haunting occultist learns the secret of binding spirits to her foes, tormenting them and wearing them down with the sheer weight of their occult might.
  • Legion Occultist (Occultist Archetype): spirits, legion occultists use the powers of effigy to create personal armies, with bound spirits at their head.
  • Soul Armorer (Paladin/Antipaladin Archetype): In lands where the practice of binding spirits is well-known, paladins are frequent foes of the art; the temptation of easy power and the influence of these spirits is something to feared and warded against. But in other cases, paladins take a very different tack, forcibly compelling these spirits with divine might to lend their power in the name of their deity or cause.

Cults and Covens

This chapter adheres to the Prestige Points/Fame rules and describes new secret societies including:

  • The Cthonocracy: The 'Rule of Ancients' is a staggeringly old cabal formed under the time-honored motto 'He who lives, wins.' To that end, all manner of mundane and supernatural methods were developed to ensure that one outlives his rivals to the last. This cabal has subtly manipulated events for hundreds of years according to the delicate schemes of its oldest and most patient members, so that key members of the cabal will be next in line when a power structure caves.
  • The Cult of Man: Fiercely anti-deistic, the Cult of Man rejects divinity as a distinct concept, holding that the difference between a bound spirit and a patron god is merely a matter of scale. They condemn the arrogance of gods in their self-righteousness. Its members tend to be older, of a learned and scholarly bent, and concerned with personal power (or a personal grudge against the divine) above all else.
  • The Lantern Collective: Known variously as the Silver Lanterns, Lumineers, Day Stars and a host of other names and aliases, it isn't entirely clear how far the organization's influence spreads. The Lantern Collective is devoted to the sacred pursuit of knowledge, and the subversion and sabotage of those who conceal that knowledge. It celebrates spirit binding for its ability to join the minds of the past with the minds of the present. Its own clandestine binding secrets, of course, are not included in this sacred calling, leading to not-occasional accusations of hypocrisy. Joining the Collective is not easy; typically it finds one before one finds it.
  • Path of Ia: A frighteningly well-equipped and well-spoken doomsday cult, the Path of Ia holds the firm belief that the fundamental truth of mortal existence exists at the very center of the world, and that all one needs to discover it is to physically split the planet open. To that end, they seek the assistance of their eldritch patron Ia to force open the planet and achieve blissful nirvana in its radiant depths.
