Granted Abilities
Salendrios grants the following abilities.
Major Granted Abilities
Beating the DC by 10 or more grants access to the Capstone Empowerment
Spell Reflection: You reflect spells that require an attack roll back upon their caster as an immediate action. When you are the target of a spell that includes an attack roll make an opposed attack roll of the same kind (either melee or ranged). If the result of your attack roll exceeds the caster’s result, the spell is negated. If you beat the caster’s result by 10 or more, the spell rebounds upon its caster as if it were the spell’s original target. Use your attack roll to determine if the spell hits. After using this ability, it becomes expended for 5 rounds.
Capstone Empowerment: Use your binder level in place of your base attack bonus with spell reflection’s attack roll.
Minor Granted Abilities

Eye of Destruction: You make a ranged touch attack against a target within 100 feet that deals 1d10 points of damage. This damage is untyped and ignores all types of damage reduction. You can make multiple attacks with this granted ability during a full-attack action as if it were a longbow. You must show Salendrios’s sign in order to gain this benefit.
