In addition to being able to support runes to augment spell casting, when the wielder expends one or more charges from the divine conduit, they may, as part of expending the charges, heal one creature they can touch by 1d6 Hit Points per charge expended.

This item can be used as a divine focus by clerics and other classes capable of using them. If the caster draws their power from a specific deity, the beads will attune to that deity and from then can only be used by followers of that deity.

Divine prayer beads can be further enchanted to function as holy prayer beads or their greater counterpart except that they may already be attuned to a deity from previous use, the beads continue to function for an evil spellcaster, and that the healing provided is not a positive healing effect. This increases the price of the whole item by the price of the prayer beads being added to it and adds all of the beads' traits to those of the divine prayer beads except for the positive trait. It also increases the level of the item to that of the added prayer beads' if it is is higher.

In addition to being able to support runes to augment spell casting, when the wielder expends one or more charges from the primal lodestone, they may, as part of expending the charges, summon and command a spirit of nature. This spirit of nature takes the form of a specific creature with the animal, beast, elemental, fey, fungus, or plant trait and with a maximum level determined by the quality of the channel and has the minion trait.

The wielder may issue commands to the spirit as part of expending at least one charge from the lodestone. If spirit is not currently manifested when the wielder expends the charges from the lodestone, the spirit can appear in the square closest to the wielder. Alternatively, if the spirit was present within 30 feet of the wielder last round they may reappear at their last position. In either case the spirit will remain manifested for a number of rounds equal to the number of charges expended. If the spirit is already manifested when the charges are expended, the wielder can restore 1d4 points of health per charge to the spirit.

When not currently manifested, the spirit remains in its current state with any conditions. When a primal caster performs their initial morning spell preperations, the spirit is restored to full health and loses any conditions and other effects.
