## Shared Veil
*You can share a veil with an ally with which you have a special bond.*
**Prerequisite:** Ability to shape veils, familiar or eidolon or similar companion
**Benefit:** When shaping your veils, any one veil shaped by you can also affect your familiar, animal companion, mount, or any creature currently created or controlled by one of your shaped veils.
You may change which veil is shared in this way, or which companion it is shared with, as a standard action.
The creature in question must remain within 15 feet of you to receive the benefit and must have the appropriate limb or body part (a horse cannot benefit from a veil that occupies the Hands slot, for example). If the creature leaves this radius of effect, it loses the benefits of the veil until such time as it returns within 15 feet.
If the veil has an activated ability (like Gorget of the Wyrm’s breath weapon attack) a companion of animal intelligence instinctively knows how to use it and can be commanded to do so with a Handle Animal check as though it were a trained trick. If the companion possesses an intelligence of 3 or higher, commanding them to utilize their veil is a free action (though they must still spend the appropriate action to activate it).
Your companion also shares the benefits of any essence you have invested in the veil.
