If you want to support the PoW:Ex disciplines, make the first effect also count as a Curse. I'd shape it on BFC builds

    EDIT: For better balance, theme, playability, and formatting...

    Ssalarn's Lodestone
    Descriptors: none
    Class: Guru, Vizier
    Slot: Headband
    Saving Throw: Will Negates

    Subtle shadows gather around your forehead, congealing into a dull black stone. A dread feeling suggests that something will not go your way.
    The wearer of this Veil gains the ability to manipulate the luck of others as a standard action with a range of 30 feet. The target of this manipulation gains either a luck bonus or penalty to their next d20 roll made within the next three rounds. This starts at 1, and increases by 1 for every four Veilweaver levels the user possesses (maximum of +6 or -6 at level 20). If this is a penalty, it is considered a curse effect. The user is subject to the curse effect with no save, and cannot use this power again until it is discharged.
    Essence: For each point of Essence invested in this ability, decrease the penalty the user is subjected to by one. If there is more Essence invested than the magnitude of the luck penalty, the excess becomes a bonus.
    Chakra Bind (Headband): Binding this Veil to your Feet slot allows you to replace the Luck penalty with the effects of a Bestow Curse. Range, self-curse, limitations on use, and action remain the same.
