Name	Rank 1 bonus (Crystal Trick)	Rank 2 bonus (Improved Crystal Trick)	Rank 3 bonus (Greater Crystal Trick)

Knowledge (Arcana)	You can now understand how to use magical items even better. Every item with an enhancement bonus that you identify has this enhancement bonus increased by 1.	You can reveal hidden effects that can be used by wearer of magical equipment. Every item you identify gets an additional random minor effects. (DM’s discretion.)	You can reveal item properties that aren’t even there and couldn’t possibly be there. Every item you identify gets an additional random major effect. (DM’s discretion.)

Knowledge (Local)	You know so much trivia that you know how to do almost anything better, and can give helpful advice to others. Whenever you, or anyone within 50 feet from you, make a skill check other than Knowledge: Local, add half your crystal rank to the original check.	You now know so much about the world that you understand that everything in this world is decided by dice. And you are good at dice. You have some very special dice that you will use from now on. Every time a member of your party would roll a 1 on a d20 roll the result of the roll instead becomes 20.	You now know that whole world is just a game. But that is ultimately in your favor, because you are good at games, and at changing rules in your favor. You and members of your party can now ignore requirements of feats when leveling up.

Knowledge (Nature)	You can find yourself a healthy meal and some useful items. Every time you rest you search the surrounding area, finding a random potion or a random scroll and enough food to cook a common meal. (DM’s discretion.)	You know nature so well that you know that it is natural to find gold and valuables in the wield. Every time you hunt you get some gold, potions, scrolls and other valuables. (DM’s discretion.)	You know nature so well that you know that it is perfectly natural to find powerful magical items in the wild. Maybe they do grow on the trees after all? You return from your hunts with random magical items. (DM’s discretion.)

Knowledge (Religion)	You learned how to heal not only the body, but the soul as well. When using the Heal skill to Treat Affliction, it removes not only poisons and diseases, but any negative conditions affecting the target.	You now know religion so well that you can use abilities usually reserved for clerics. You can select two domains. You gain abilities of those domains and can use spells from those domains once per day as long as the level of those spells is lower than your crystal rank.	You now know enough about religion to start your own. You can select two additional domains.

Acrobatics	Acrobatic movement to avoid attack of opportunity reduces you movement speed despite the fact that the skill is called acrobatics. With this unlock this confusing problem is removed – acrobatic movement now instead increases you movement speed by half.	Instead of just avoiding attacks of opportunity by your acrobatic movements, you can instead make them yourself every time you avoid one. Enemies count as flat-footed against those attacks – this is unexpected, after all.	Instead of avoiding just attacks of opportunity, you can now avoid normal attacks too. Every time you are hit by an attack you can attempt an Acrobatics check with a -10 penalty. If the result is higher than the attacker’s result, the attack misses.
Perception	You see more than other people. You are under a constant effect of see invisibility.	Nothing can escape your notice. You automatically detect creatures who attempt to use Stealth.	At last, you notice the most important thing — problems within yourself. And to negate those problems, you learn to quickly find ways to use other crystal tricks. You can now use up to two wandering rank one crystal tricks, that you can change every day.
Diplomacy	You are so good at demoralizing enemies that just entering combat against you is enough to demoralize them. Any enemy that begins combat against you is immediately affected by your demoralize ability.	You are so good at demoralizing your enemies that they lose the will to fight completely. Enemies affected by your demoralize ability must succeed at a Will saving throw with a DC of 10 + your ranks in Diplomacy, or become paralyzed and completely helpless. They may make another saving throw against this condition every round.	You are so good at demoralizing your enemies that they lose the will to live. Enemies that fail their saving throw against your demoralize ability must spend their first round making a Coup de Grace against themselves.
Stealth	You can easily slip into shadow at any time. You can enter stealth during combat as a move action. This stealth is not broken by a single enemy detecting you – instead it acts similar to the invisibility spell, giving you total concealment against all creatures that did not succeed on a Perception check against you.	You exceed at stealth, fading from sight with your every move. Your stealth in combat now works more akin to greater invisibility spell effect.	You exceed at stealth so much that you can avoid spells targeting you. You gain spell resistance equal to your Stealth bonus – 10.
Use Magic Device	You have learned of a way to improve the efficiency of used magical items. Caster level of all abilities from magical items you use is increased by your crystal rank.	You have learned of a way to use items so delicately that the use is completely unnoticed. Wands you use no longer lose charges for use and you can equip any magical items possible, regardless of requirements.	You have learned that there is a very unconventional and effective way to use scrolls. You can cast spells from any scroll without needing to make a Use Magical Device check.
Disable Device	Magical effects do not differ much from magical traps, and can be disabled just like any device. You can, as a standard action, attempt a Disable Device check to dispel any effects on target or on the ground. Treat this as the dispel spell, only with a caster level check replaced by a Disable Device skill check with a -10 penalty.	Multiple magical effects do not differ much from complex magical traps, and can be disabled together just like any device. You can, as a standard action, attempt to dispel all magic effects on the target or on the ground. Treat this a the greater dispel spell, only with a caster level check replaced by a Disable Device skill check with a -20 penalty.	Living creatures are also just complex devices and can also be easily disabled. You can try to disable them, forcing them to make a Fortitude saving throw (DC 15 + your ranks in Disable Device). If the target fails it, it dies.
