Synostokiai

Iron Heart, Devoted Spirit, Stone Dragon, Organic Repast, Essential Cut, Narrow Bridge, Ravenous Succubi (Boost) [X-Discipline]
Level:	7
Prerequisite:	Three Iron Heart, Devoted Spirit, Stone Dragon, Organic Repast, Essential Cut, Narrow Bridge, or Ravenous Succubi maneuvers
Initiation Action:	1 swift action
Range:	Personal
Target:	You
Duration:	Instantaneous

With a sharp exhalation, you relax your martial focus a little. Even as you feel your martial energy slip away, you feel like your body has been renewed.

As you initiate this maneuver, you expend another maneuver as part of the same swift action. You heal yourself for 1d6 damage per level of the expended maneuver.

Unlike most maneuvers belonging to the Stone Dragon discipline, this maneuver can be initiated while in midair, with no reductions to its effectiveness. (This is because it also belongs to disciplines other than Stone Dragon, but it's still something important to keep in mind.)

If you are xenotheric, you may pay a single bio-energy charge to heal yourself for 2d6 damage per level of the expended maneuver.

If you have at least one level in the Carnage Zealot class and know at least two other Essential Cut maneuvers, you may invest essentia into this maneuver. If you do, you add 1d6 damage healed per point of invested essentia (or 2d6 damage healed per point of invested essentia if you also paid a bio-energy charge). Once the effects of synostokiai are resolved, the invested essentia is returned to your essentia pool. (If you're a Carnage Zealot and don't have an essentia pool, something is very, very wrong with your character. Seriously, how the hell did you do that?!?)

As a final note, when you initiate this maneuver, both synostokiai and one other maneuver you have readied (and granted, if a crusader) are expended. The benefit of synostokiai is entirely dependent on the level of the maneuver expended alongside it. Synostokiai cannot be initiated if it is your only available maneuver, even if you have essentia available to invest in it. You may only expend one other maneuver when you initiate synostokiai. The second maneuver is not itself considered to have been initiated, so none of its usual effects apply. You cannot expend a stance, so you cannot use a stance alongside synostokiai. You can use synostokiai while already in a stance; you just can't enter a stance as part of the same swift action you use to initiate synostokiai. See synostodweomer and arcane aura for more information.
