-You can make a melee touch attack as a standard action that causes a living creature to become shaken for a number of rounds equal to your caster level (minimum 1). If you touch a shaken creature with this ability, it becomes frightened instead. You can use this ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + your Primary Casting Attribute modifier.+By spending 48 hours uninterrupted, you may prepare a special jar which contains your own life essence. As long as this jar exists on the same plane as you, you may grow back out of it upon death over the course of 24 hours (this expends the jar, meaning you must make another if you wish to have one). You are considered alive, but helpless, whilst growing out of the jar.

 +The jar may be freely moved about, and is very easy to destroy (Hardness 2, 5 HP). The jar is also instantly ruined if [[priority:magic:spells:tier1:bless_water|holy water]] is poured on or into it. A creature in possession of the jar may shake it about as a Half Action, which staggers you for the next 1d4 rounds (no save).
