Innate Magic [Elf, Halfling]

[The Hive Mind]

Prerequisites: Elf or halfling.

Benefit: Select one of your mental ability scores (Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma; ideally, you should choose your highest of the three). Then choose a number of 0-level spells fromt he Channeler spell list equal to the modifier of your chosen ability score. You gain those spells as spell-like abilities, usable at will, with DCs determined by your chosen mental ability score and caster level equal to your character level. The first time you use any of these spell-like abilities each day, it has a casting time of 1 standard action. However, the magic and power of each subsequent spell-like ability used that day becomes increasingly more difficult to coax forth, increasing the casting time as follows: 1 round, 1 minute, 10 minutes, 1 hour. After the 5th such spell-like ability used each day, all subsequent spell-like abilities granted by this feat have a casting time of two hours. These spell-like abilities can be interrupted and require concentration, just like normal spellcasting.

If you get a full period of rest at the end of the day, the casting times of the spell-like abilities granted by this feat reset to 1 standard action the next day. If you do not get a full period of rest, the casting times do not reset, and the next spell-like ability you use from this feat has a casting time of one step higher than the previous spell-like ability (to a maximum of two hours).
