Whereas most aluums are animated by the souls of volunteers loyal to Katapesh, the Pactmasters created a handful of more capable (and deadly) aluums powered by the souls of a dozen or more dangerous criminals. These spiritbound aluums are rarely used as peacekeepers, instead serving as assassins, elite bodyguards, or riot control during times of martial law. A spiritbound aluum has a dull blue crystalline focus that stores constituent souls, surrounded by a host of smaller gems used for trappin

Abilities
Attack of Opportunity —
Aluum Antimagic — Spiritbound aluums are immune to spells and magical abilities, with two exceptions. A void spell or magical ability grants a spiritbound aluum the Quickened condition until the end of its next turn instead of its normal effects. A vitality spell or ability makes a spiritbound aluum Slowed 1 until the end of its next turn instead of its normal effects.
Obliteration Beam (arcane, force) — The spiritbound aluum can't use Obliteration Beam again for 1d4 rounds.
Paralyzing Force (arcane, incapacitation) — A creature damaged by the Spiritbound Aluum's fist Strike must succeed at a DC 35 Fortitude save or become Paralyzed for 1 round. On a critical failure, the creature is Paralyzed for 1d4 minutes and falls Prone.
Soul Binder — When a spiritbound aluum uses its Seize Soul innate spell, it binds the soul into its central crystal instead of the normal material component. The crystal can hold up to 60 souls.
When encountered, a spiritbound aluum's crystal typically contains 1d6 souls.
