Eidetic Memory [General, Gnome] (from AEG's Dungeons)
You have a very sharp memory for details. You can recall anything that you have seen with almost perfect clarity, allowing you to recall the text on the page of a book or the exact size and shape or the runes inscribed on a door.
Benefit: You receive a +2 competence bonus to any Intelligence checks that you make to recall the details of something you have seen, a book you have read, or a conversation to which you have listened. Furthermore, you make a DC 20 Intelligence check to recall anything you have seen with photographic clarity or to recall the series of turns necessary to return to the starting point of a maze. You may not retry this check for a given subject if you fail. Also, you may not use this feat to prepare spells you have seen in spellbooks or scrolls.

General Rules: Feats - Arcane Edge
Arcane Edge [Gnome]
You are specialized in dealing damage with your spells.
Prerequisites: Gnome, Knowledge: Arcana 4+ ranks, Spellcraft 4+ ranks.
Benefit: Whenever you cast an arcane spell that deals hit point damage, you can add your Intelligence or Charisma bonus (your choice) to the amount of damage dealt. A single spell can never gain this extra damage more than once per casting. For example, a fireball spell would deal the extra damage to all creatures in its area of effect, but a magic missile spell would only apply the extra damage to a single missile. If a spell deals damage for more than 1 round, it deals this extra damage in each round. Scrolls you scribe or activate do not gain the benefit of your Arcane Edge, neither do potions, wands, or most other magic items you may use. Staves, however, gain the benefits of your Arcane Edge.

General Rules: Feats - Aid Spellcasting
Aid Spellcasting [Gnome, Eldritch] (from the Book of Eldritch Might)
You add your knowledge and power to the casting of an allied arcanist's spell.
Prerequisites: Gnome, Intelligence 15+, Charisma 15+, ability to cast arcane spells.
Benefit: As a standard action similar to Aid Another (see the Player's Handbook, Chapter Eight: Combat), you make a Concentration check. If you exceed a DC of 10 + the level of the spell being cast, you add either +1 to the DC of the spell, or +1 to the caster level of the spell (your choice). Additional casters with this feat can make attempts to add to the spell also. However, they can add no more to the DC or caster level than the level of the spell being cast.

General Rules: Feats - Lays of the U’pesuristean Adepts
Lays of the U’pesuristean Adepts [Gnome] (from Dragon 315)
You know the poems of ancient U’pesuristean mystics. These poems contain lost secrets that strengthen your protective magic.

General Rules: Feats - Lace Spell: Unravel
Lace Spell: Unravel [Gnome, Eldritch] (from the Book of Eldritch Might)
You make your spells more potent and harder to ward against.
Prerequisites: Gnome, Gnomish Arcane Scholar, Intelligence 17+, Charisma 15+, spellcaster level 10th+.
Benefit: You give extra power to an offensive spell that you cast on an opponent. The lacing attempts to suppress, for this laced spell only, any spell effect on the target that directly interferes with the laced spell taking effect. For example, a sorcerer casts an Unravel-laced fireball at a foe with protection from elements (fire) already active upon herself. The sorcerer makes a level check with a DC of 11 + the caster level of the caster of the protection from elements. If the sorcerer's attempt succeeds, the spell is "unraveled" before the fireball takes effect. However, immediately after the fireball's effects have taken their toll, the unraveled protection from elements spell knits itself back together again for its subject.
Unravel lacing affects only spells cast upon a creature or object. Independent spell effects, or those affecting an area - such as wall of fire, an antimagic field, an illusion, or a conjured monster - cannot be suppressed, even if they prevent the laced spell from affecting the target.
Unlike the more powerful Lace Spell: Spellripper feat, a spell laced with Unravel can suppress only temporarily those effects specifically intended to foil that spell (spell immunity, a shield spell protecting against magic missiles, and so on), or spells that provide greater protection from other spells (protection from evil, spell resistance, and so on).

General Rules: Feats - Lace Spell: Spellripper
Lace Spell: Spellripper [Gnome, Eldritch] (from the Book of Eldritch Might)
Every spell you cast has a chance to dispel one protecting or enhancing a foe.
Prerequisites: Gnome, Gnomish Arcane Scholar, Intelligence 17+, Charisma 21+, spellcaster level 17th+.
Benefit: You give extra power to an offensive spell you cast on an opponent. In addition to its normal effect, the lacing attempts to dispel (as described in dispel magic) one spell effect on the target. The highest-level spell currently active is always the spell to be ripped away. Spellripper lacing affects only spells cast upon a creature or object. Independent spell effects, or those affecting an area - such as wall of fire, an antimagic field, an illusion, or a conjured monster - cannot be dispelled, even if they prevent the laced spell from affecting the target.

General Rules: Feats - Fuse with item
Fuse with Item [Alvari, Changeling, Eldritch, Gnome] (from the Book of Eldritch Might III)
Using your skill with magic, you absorb a magic item into your body, taking on its essence and powers.
Prerequisite: Alvari or Changeling or Gnome, Charisma 19+, caster level 10th+.
Benefit: You can absorb a magic item and make its powers inherent within you. You cannot fuse with magic weapons or armor, nor can you fuse with potions or scrolls. You can fuse with any other item. Activating or using an item that is fused with you works the same as for a normal item. A fused wand of wall of ice allows you to cast wall of ice as a spell-like ability using the item's caster level 50 times, or however many charges it had left at the time of the fusing. Bonus types do not change. A fused amulet of health +4 grants you a permanent enhancement bonus (not an inherent bonus) of +4 to your Constitution.
Fusing with an item first requires an experience point cost equal to the item's value in shillings. Then, you must make a Spellcraft check with a DC equal to 20 plus the item's caster level for each of the item's separate abilities. Failure means that you cannot use that power. You may try only once per ability. Even if you are unable to use any of the powers of a fused item, the item is consumed and the experience points lost.
Once consumed, a fused item cannot be taken away from you. It does not need to be drawn to be wielded, and it is not visible in any way. It takes up no space on your body, so if you have fused with an amulet, you can wear another amulet without problems. Like all spell-like abilities, using a fused item requires no components and draws no attacks of opportunity.
Items that logically grant no benefit from being absorbed - mainly because their power comes from being independent from the user, such as a figurine of wondrous power or dust of tracelessness - cannot be fused.
Woda's disjunction removes the item from you, restoring it to its normal state.
Intelligent Items: Fusing with an intelligent item forces you to make a Will save at the beginning of each day with a DC equal to the item's level plus the item's Charisma bonus. If you succeed, you are in control for the day and can use the items abilities, skills, and feats (if applicable). If you fail, the item remains in control of you for the day and can use your abilities, skills, and feats. Items fused with a character cannot gain levels.

Lace Spell: Elemental Energies [Eldritch, Gnome] (from the Book of Eldritch Might)
You can add more damage to the spells you cast by lacing them with elemental energy.Prerequisite: Gnome, Intelligence 17+, spellcaster level 5th+.
Benefit: You can give extra power to a single-target spell when you cast it by adding elemental energy. In addition to its normal effects, any spell with a single target also inflicts +1d6 points of damage to that target if the spell takes effect (assuming the target fails his saving throw, if any). The damage is a type of your choosing: Fire, Electricity, Cold, Acid, or Sonic. Spells with different effects based on the success of failure of a saving throw (such as disintegrate or slay living) inflict additional damage either way.

General Rules: Feats - Item Image
Item Image [Eldritch, Gnome] (from the Book of Eldritch Might)
You can bond yourself or someone else with a magic item by use of a tattoo.
Prerequisite: Gnome, Intelligence 17+, spellcaster level 7th+.
Benefit: You inscribe a tattoo onto your flesh or the flesh of another, in the presence of a magic item that weighs no more than the tattooed character can carry. This process takes eight hours and costs 1/10 of the market value of the magic item in shillings. Once the tattoo is finished, the character can magically store the item within the image, and can call it forth again as a free action. While stored, the item remains in unchanging stasis, magically shrunk down so small that it cannot be felt. The Item Image tattoo is permanent; there is no limit to the number of times a character can call forth and re-store the magic item. The tattooed image is often inscribed on the character's hand or arm, its design flowing seamlessly from the flesh to the item being held. Further, the character with the keyed image enjoys one of the following benefits while using the specific item (chosen at the time the image is inscribed):
