Followers of the Void

Most shun the Vestiges, stirring in the Void. Spirits that have little or no effect on a person's daily lives must not have much power at all. However, there are three that know better, Binders, who make agreements with those spirits, Anima Mages, who exploit the power of those spirits, and Followers of the Void, who worship that power.
Followers of the Void shun all gods they may have followed before for the ancient spirits of the Void, for who is better to follow than those who have escaped from death itself, or have access to the greatest and most ancient knowledge of it all?

Soul Binding Bonus: At each Follower of the Void level, your soul binding ability improves as if you has also gained a level in the binder class, your Follower of the Void levels and binder levels stack for the puppose of determining your bonus on binding checks, the effectiveness of your vestige-granted abilities, you ability to bind higher-level vestiges, and the number of vestiges you can bind. You do not, however, gain any other benefit a binder would have gained.

Spellcasting: At each Follower of the Void level, you gain new spells per day and an increase in caster level as if you had also gained a level in an arcane spellcasting class to which you belonged before adding the prestige class level. You do not, however gain other benefit a character of that class would have gained. If you had more than one Divine spellcasting class that prepared spells before becoming a Follower of the Void, you must decide which class to add each level for the purposes of determining spells per day, caster level, and spells known.

Vestige Worship: A Follower of the Void has forsaken his or her original god or cause for the world of vestiges. The Follower of the Void recognizes that the multitude of voices has much too much to say, and chooses to follow them instead. A Follower of the Void no longer worships their original god/cause, and instead worships vestiges. A Follower of the Void Turns/Commands Undead as they did before the belief shift, and Spontaneously casts Cure or Inflict spells as they did before the belief shift. The Follower of the Void keeps the powers they had before the prestige class, but the source has changed. A Follower of the Void prepares their spells as a final act before closing their pact every day, and if they do not make a pact on any given day, they cannot gain spells.

Domains of the Vestiges: Because his worship has changed, a Follower of the Void no longer gains spells from whence they came, but from Vestiges. As such, a Follower of the Void's Domains change from whatever they were previously to Death and Knowledge. If a previous Domain made a certain skill a class skill, previous ranks are not rescinded, but further ranks should be counted as Cross-Class skills.

Vestige Burst: Because a Follower of the Void derives all of his power from the Vestiges, he can transfer power from Vestige granted abilities to his spellcasting. As a swift action, a Follower of the Void may give up all vestige granted abilities for 5 rounds in exchange for the next instantaneous spell to be Maximized, with the spell level not increased, or the next Continuous spell he casts to have double the total duration, or until the pact with his current vestige ends. A Follower of the Void can do this once per day at 3rd level, twice per day at 6th level, and three times per day at 9th level.

Vestige Closeness: A Follower of the Void has become close to his sources of power. Whenever bound to a vestige, a Follower of the Void's spells count as +1 Caster level higher per vestige. He also gains a +5 to all checks to make a good pact, as the Vestiges trust him.

Favor of the Vestiges: A Follower of the Void has taken his devotion to the vestiges to the next level, and they have paid him extremely well for it. Whenever making a pact, a Follower of the Void may choose for that Vestige to be his "Domain Font". That Vestige replaces the Follower of the Void's current Domains with the Vestige specific domain below for the time that the Follower of the Void is bound to that vestige. The Follower of the Void does not gain the granted Domain ability, just uses those domain spells as his domain spells for the day. A Follower of the Void must follow the Influence of and display the sign of whatever Vestige is his "Domain Font". A Follower of the Void may not use any Domain that is Adversely opposed to his alignment ( A Chaotic Good Follower of the Void many not use Ronove as a Domain Font, for example)
