Shiva is the patron saint and primal of the Harriers. She was summoned by Ysayle in the image of an ancient saint who was beloved of Hraesvelgr, as part of her goal to end the millennium-long Dragonsong War. Unlike the Primals summoned by beast-tribes, Ysayle uses her own body as a vessel for Shiva’s spirit.

SPECIAL ABILITIES
Permafrost (Su)
Once below 50% hp (378), This Burst Mode lets Shiva freeze the surround area around her, making the ground difficult to move on and having her take the advantage. For a number of rounds equal to 1 + 1 round for every four HD, Shiva creates the area 300-ft.-radius around herself to become ice. She gains icewalking, doubles the damage on Hailstorm, add an additional 1d6 points of ice damage per her weapon attacks, and every physical attack inflicts frozen for 1d4 rounds (Fort DC 29). This limit break requires only a swift action to activate. Even after this wears off the surrounding area remains icy and she keeps icewalking.
Absolute Zero Prime (Su) [Staff Form]
Once every 1d3+1 rounds as a standard action, on a turn that Hailstorm deals damage, instead of the damage, Shiva may choose to freeze the very air in a 120 ft radius, dealing 4d6 ice damage and inflicting the frozen status for 1 rounds, then after for 1d4 rounds. A successful Fortitude save (DC 29) negates the additional rounds. Enemies that do not pass the Fortitude save or receive a dispel take an additional 2d6 ice damage at the end of the duration.
Avalanche (Su) [Bow Form]
Once every 1d4+1 rounds as a full-round action, Shive aims her sights on one target then sends off a barrage of icicles at them. The range of this abilities goes to 200 feet and hits all between her target and herself. Each icicles does 4d6 points of (half ice/piercing) damage up to five times and anyone within the area of effect must make a Reflex save (DC 29) per each icicle for half damage.
Diamond Dust (Su)
Once a day, under 50% hp (378), as a standard action, Shiva calls forth a mighty blizzard, freezing nearby foes. Enemies within 60 feet take 15d6 points of ice damage and are inflicted with the frozen status. A successful Reflex save (DC 29) halves the damage and negates the status effect.
Dreams of Ice (Su)
At the start of battle as a swift action, Shiva increases the damage of all her ice abilities by 3 every turn. In addition, every 5th round, she increases her dice step by one for ice abilities.
Glacier Bash (Ex) [Sword Form]
Once every 1d3+1 rounds as a standard action, Shiva swings in a 45-ft.-cone with icy shards. Everyone in the area of effect takes 6d6 points of ice damage and are Stunned for 1 round unless they make a Fortitude save (DC 26) for half damage and negating the status effect.
Glass Dance (Ex) [Bow Form]
Once every 1d2+1 rounds as a move action, Shiva back flips 15 feet backwards while grabbing a bunch of arrows and as soon as she lands shoots in a 120-ft.-cone of arrows hitting all those within. She must make a range attack per target in the area of effect, if she hits (+37), they all take a single shot from her bow damage. She doesn’t provoke attacks of opportunity with this ability.
Hailstorm (Su) [Staff Form]
Once every 1d2+1 rounds as a swift action, Shiva summons a hailstorm for 20 rounds, dealing 3d6 bludgeoning damage and 2d6 ice damage every other turn. A successful Reflex save (DC 29) halves the damage on each instance of damage. Blue mages may learn this ability as a 5th level spell (Knowledge: Planes DC 25).
Heavenly Strike (Ex) [Sword Form]
Once every 1d4 rounds, as a standard action, Shiva slashes in a 30-foot cone in front of her, hitting all creatures inside, dealing her sword’s damage x 1.5. She makes an attack roll against each target within the cone, taking a -1 penalty per target in the cone.
Shatter (Ex)
As a standard action, Shiva may make a single attack against a target that is frozen. If the attack hits, it is considered an automatic critical hit and ends the frozen effect.
Whiteout (Su)
Once every 1d3+1 rounds as a swift action, Shiva reaches out and snaps her fingers. Anyone within 240-ft. away from her but not within 40-ft. away takes 4d6 points of ice damage, no save.
