Abilities

Site Bound — A typical ghost can stray only a short distance from where it was killed or the place it haunts. A typical limit is 120 feet. Some ghosts are instead bound to a room, building, item, or creature that was special to it rather than a location.
Rejuvenation (divine) — Completing the ghost mage's project allows it to move on to the afterlife. When a ghost is destroyed, it re-forms after 2d4 days within the location it's bound to, fully healed. A ghost can be permanently destroyed only if someone determines the reason for its existence and sets right whatever prevents the spirit from resting.
Void Healing — Negative Healing
Frightful Moan (auditory, divine, emotion, fear, mental) — The ghost laments its fate, forcing each living creature within 30-foot emanation{30 feet} to attempt a DC 29 Will save. On a failure, a creature becomes Frightened 2 (or Frightened 3 on a critical failure). On a success, a creature is temporarily immune to this ghost's frightful moan for 1 minute.
Telekinetic Assault (divine) — The ghost cries out in pain and anguish as small objects and debris fly about in a 30-foot emanation. Creatures in this area take 6d6 bludgeoning damage, subject to a DC 29 Reflex save.
