'''{{Anchor|Legacy Apparition}} {{Su}}:''' Beginning at 3rd level, you can commune directly with the spirit of your ancestor who founded the Legacy item you now wield. Specifically, you gain their companionship in the form of a small floating mote of light through which they communicate, though this mote only comes into being while your Legacy item is "Called". This tiny mote of light is known as a Legacy Apparition, and is a physical manifestation of your ancestor's spirit, though they themselves are long dead, their soul existing on one of the Outer Planes. The Legacy Apparition is incorporeal, has hit points equal to your own, and is size Fine. Its AC is 18, and it can fly with perfect maneuverability and a speed of 30 feet. If your Legacy Apparition is destroyed, or it somehow moves out of your line of effect, it reappears in your space in 1d6 rounds. It uses your senses to see and hear, and communicates with you by telepathy. Thus, it cannot interact with objects and creatures that you cannot see. Your Legacy Apparition is meant to aid you in combat, not serve as a scout. Sometimes, your Apparition appears as a ghostly image of how it looked in life. This manifestation requires tremendous effort, and your Apparition chooses to attempt it only when it must communicate with others under dire circumstances. When a Legacy Apparition manifests, it can speak with others as normal. A Legacy Apparition can appear in this manner for up to 10 minutes per day. While it manifests, you lose access to your Legacy Apparition and any class abilities that require it to function. If a Legacy Apparition must make a saving throw, it uses your save modifier. It lacks skill ranks, feats, Hit Dice, and physical ability score modifiers. If used by an Elven Legacy Inheritor who However, it possesses levels in two mental ability scores of 14 (Usually Int and Cha), with the Eternal Blade prestige classremaining score being 10, and the Legacy Apparition doubles can communicate via speech (Though only when Manifested, see above). The apparition has an alignment deemed appropriate by the DM, and an Ego score (Base score is generally 6 and grows as a Blade Guide, fulfilling both dutiesthe item does).
The Apparition of an intelligent Legacy Item is the item's sentience itself, and speaks through the Apparition instead. The higher of the each set of stats (Mental ability scores, senses, communication, Ego score) is used.
