This may be done once per day, and lasts a number of hours equal to your caster level. At CL 20, this becomes full immunity to the energy type.

 Your research into ancient tomes and your inquisitions of bound spirits have led you to one of the best-hidden secrets of the multiverse: the true name of an outsider—the name that defines the very essence of the creature and that gives the speaker control over the being. This outsider cannot have more hit dice than your caster level. Once per day, you can speak the common name by which the outsider is known, and the outsider travels to you as if you had cast planar binding upon it (however, if the creature’s HD is lower than your Caster Level, it receives no saving throw). It must obey you to the best of its ability, without pay or bargaining for its services, for its fear that you might release its true name to the wider world is enough to bring even the most recalcitrant of outsiders to bear. Your research into ancient tomes and your inquisitions of bound spirits have led you to one of the best-hidden secrets of the multiverse: the true name of an outsider—the name that defines the very essence of the creature and that gives the speaker control over the being.

In order to do so, you must make contact with the object you wish to learn more about, and make a Caster Level check against a DC of 20. Whilst reading an object, you are considered Helpless. Unfortunately, while reading the object, the magician has no control over how long the reading takes, and she cannot stop until the reading is done. It can take 1 minute, 5 minutes, or longer.

 As an Immediate Action, you may place a foot into the First World to protect yourself from danger. For a number of minutes equal to your Caster Level, you receive concealment from all creatures (20% miss chance). This concealment is only partially illusory - it is mostly a very real effect from transcending planes. Due to this, this concealment is only negated for another creature who is also using this ability. You may use this concealment to use the Stealth skill. At Caster Level 12, this increases to a 50% miss chance. You may activate this Talent once per day. As an Immediate Action, you may place a foot into the First World to protect yourself from danger.

 You may create a duplicate of yourself through a complex magical ritual which takes 24 hours. The duplicate possesses your ability scores, but is “level one”, meaning that it possesses the minimum amount of HD, caster levels, skill ranks, and Paths or Talents possible. You may spend EXP to increase the stats of your simulacrum, just as if you were leveling yourself, up to a maximum of half your Caster Level in any given field (for example, if you posses 14 Caster Levels, your Simulacrum may only have up to 7 skill ranks in any particular skill, 7 hit dice, and a maximum caster level of 7). The Simulacrum is fully and solely under your control, and will obey simple commands without additional input. Although it is categorized as the same creature type as yourself, the Simulacrum is most closely comparable to a Homunculus.  You may create a duplicate of yourself through a complex magical ritual which takes 24 hours.

 As an immediate action, you may spend 30 Mana to cause time to cease its flow for everyone but you. A bubble of temporal distortion emanates from you as a shockwave effect in a 30 ft. radius around you. All creatures within the radius of the effect must make a Reflex save (DC 10 + your caster level + your Primary Casting Attribute modifier) or be frozen in time for a number of rounds equal to your Secondary Casting Attribute modifier. Creatures frozen in the Time Stop are considered helpless. Creatures that enter the area of frozen time afterwards receive no saving throw. If a creature succeeds on the saving throw, they are moved to the nearest square outside of the radius of the Time Stop. If the creature cannot move out of the area, they are trapped, and automatically fail the saving throw. As an immediate action, you may spend 30 Mana to cause time to cease its flow for everyone but you.
