^ Cascade Bearers    | Once per day, you can cast any common 7th level spell from any spell list without expending a spell slot. This uses your Halcyon spell DC                                                                                                                                                                                                   |
^ Emerald Boughs     | Your hideaway transforms into something more. When using your hideaway ability, you may spend 1 minute to expand your hideaway into a magnificent mansion. This effect only occurs while you are inside of the hideaway. If you leave the hideaway, everyone exits it with you. You may do this an unlimited number of times.               |
^ Rain-Scribes       | You can survive in any weather. You ignore the effects of severe and extreme cold and hot. You move at full speed through difficult and greater difficult terrain. You cannot be damaged by hazardous terrain. When using Rain-Scribe Mobility, you clear the effects of all three types of terrain from the spaces you enter for 1 round.  |
^ Tempest-Sun Mages  | Your Tempest-Sun Shielding now applies to you and all allies within 30 feet instead of just you or one ally.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                |
^ Uzunjati           | When you use Uzunjati Recollection, you Recall Knowledge three times instead of once and gain a +2 circumstance bonus. This bonus also applies to your skill check for Uzunjati Storytelling.                                                                                                                                               |
