-You may converge naturally occuring ley lines into a circle of power as a Move Action by spending 7 MP. This process creates Ley Lines directly at the position of the caster. The Ley Lines do not need a surface to support them, meaning if you are airborne, the lines appear beneath you regardless. The Ley Lines do not move with you, and are completely stationary and intangible. You must stand within them in order to receive their benefits. Ley Lines occupy a single 5 ft square.

-Whilst occupying a square that has active Ley Lines, a you gain the effects of [[priority:magic:spells:special:arcane_concordance|Arcane Concordance]], as if you were affected by the spell with a caster level equal to your CL. The Ley Lines last for a number of rounds equal to your Caster Level.

-You may spend 3 MP to swiftly teleport across the battlefield. This ability is used as part of a Move Action or Withdraw Action, and teleports you to your Ley Lines, as long as they are within your line of sight (Divination Magic and similar effects do not count for this purpose). This counts as 5 feet of movement. You can only use this ability once per round. You do not provoke attacks of opportunity when moving in this way, but any other movement you attempt as part of your Move Action provokes as normal.

- 
-You become capable of augmenting your power through channeling Ley Line energy through yourself prior to casting. You may gather Arcane energy as a Full Round Action to reduce the MP cost of a spell cast on your following turn by 5 MP. A spell may not have its cost reduced below 1 MP in this manner. Charging up creates an extremely loud, visible display in a 20 foot radius centered on the caster. You must be standing in your ley lines to use this ability. 
- 
-Whilst charging, you are flat-footed, and if you take damage, you must succeed at a Concentration check (DC = 15 + damage taken) or lose the charge and the action.
