Gravitron Magic (Sp)

At 1st level, a lunar vanguard’s manipulation of gravity goes beyond changing the weight of his spear. Whenever he uses Deadly Lancer on a creature with at least half his number of Hit Die, he gains a Gravitron. He may hold a number of Gravitrons equal to his dragoon level. Gravitrons are volatile, as such if an hour has passed since a lunar vanguard last obtained a Gravitron, his stockpile of Gravitrons will dissipate to 0. A lunar vanguard may expend Gravitrons to cast the following spells at certain levels, suffering no penalty from wearing armor when doing so:

The lunar vanguard uses his Intelligence modifier as his casting modifier for these spells.

Additionally, starting at 2nd level, a lunar vanguard may alternatively expend 1 Gravitron to activate his Super Jump ability.

This ability replaces pole fighting, blood of the dragon, lancet, dragon’s breath, tail sweep, dragon sight, and stardiver.
