I just finished reading Magic of Incarnum. It's a great book, and is as groundbreaking as psionics in terms of gaming options. I was looking at the Soulspark on page 198, and I said "what if I made it bigger?" So I did... Aggrandized soulsparks are larger amalgamations of soul energy. Their motivations can be as varied as those of their smaller kin, but they tend to be more pacifistic and less extreme. In combat, soulsparks engulf creatures (grappling) and pummel them with soul blasts. Unlike a soulspark's ranged soul blast, the aggrandized soulspark's soul blast is a melee attack and they can threaten squares within their reach with it. They do not add their Charisma bonus to damage rolls. Aggrandized soulsparks increase their Strength and Constitution when they advance, rather than their Charisma and Dexterity. In addition to this, aggrandized soulsparks have the following incarnum shroud abilities to invest essentia in: Expand: A soulspark's size increases by one size category, its Strength increases by 2, its Dexterity decreases by 2, and its soul blast damage increases proportionately for every two points of essentia invested. Contract: A soulspark's size decreases by one size category, its Dexterity increases by 2, its Strength decreases by 2, and its soul blast damage decreases proportionately for every point of essentia invested.
