{{#set:Summary=You can bind a single-target spell into your Blast, affecting victims of your blast with the spell in addition to your blast.}}
When you use this Invocationinvocation, you take any single-target spell you know (Including including touch spells (like [[SRD:Shocking Grasp | Shocking Grasp''shocking grasp'']]), ray spells (like [[SRD:Disintegrate |Disintegrate''disintegrate'']] ), and non-damaging spells (like [[SRD:Hold Person | Hold Person''hold person'']]), but not area spells (such as [[SRD:Fireball |Fireball''fireball'']]), nor spells that allow multiple targets, (such as [[SRD:Magic Missile |Magic Missile''magic missile'']]), or spells that have a target of the caster only, (like [[SRD:Shield |Shield''shield'']])) of 6th level or lower, and cast it onto your Eldritch''eldritch/Occult Blastoccult blast'' or ''paint shot''. Doing this takes a number of rounds equal to 1 + 1 per spell level, using up the spell in question as if it had just been cast, and metamagic cannot be applied to the spell.
Once subsumed into the Blastblast, the spell lingers for a number of uses equal to the spell's level, after which the invoker must restart the process of binding the spell into the blast. However, if the Invoker invoker possesses Essentiaessentia, he may invest a number of Essentia essentia into the Blastbind spell''blastbind'' invocation. Investing a number equal to the spell's level prevents it from fading, causing the spell to last indefinitely as long as the Essentia essentia remains invested; If the Invoker invoker shifts the Essentia essentia to a Soulmeld soulmeld or something other than the Blastbind''blastbind'', then the Blastbind ''blastbind'' ends at the end of their turn, returning all invested essentia to the essentia pool. The Blastbind ''blastbind'' ignores the normal limit for invested Essentia essentia by Meldshaper character level.
The Invoker can invest more than the required Essentia into the Blastbind; . Each point above the required number increases the saving throw DC of the spell (And and the blast, if it allows a save) by 1; But , but the maximum Essentia that can be invested into this Invocation at any time is 6. However, the save DC for this Invocation is not dictated by the Invocation's effective spell level, but instead by the level of the spell placed within it. Thus , an [[SRD:Acid Arrow |Acid Arrow]] Blastbind would have a save DC of 12 + The Invoker's Cha mod, rather than 16 + Cha. Other effects, such as Spell Focus or etc, that modify the spell's DC, apply to the Blastbind as well.
When used, a Blastbind Blast causes all targets who take damage from the Eldritch Blast to be subject to the spell's effects as if you had just cast the spell on them, allowing saving throw and spell resistance as normal; Thus a Cone Blastbind of [[SRD:Hold Person | Hold Person]] is possible. However, it doesn't use up any additional uses of the spell beyond the one expended in order to Bind the spell to the Blast. This allows multiclassed Warlock/Spellcasters to spread out their limited spells per day.
However, while the spell remains Bound inside the Blastbind, you cannot cast the same spell via other means (Even even if you possess it from a different class), only using it through your Eldritch Blast. Thus , if you knew [[SRD:Heal |Heal]] and Bound bound it inside a Blastbind so that you could better destroy undead, you couldn't use [[SRD:Heal |Heal]] on your allies to heal them until the spell was no longer Bound bound to the blast, unless of course you wanted to subject them to the Eldritch Blast damage in addition to the healing effects of the spell.
