Editing Tome of Magic (section)

===Pact Magic===
The first of these three new systems was ''Pact Magic'', exemplified by the '''[[Binder]]''' class. This is generally considered the best of the systems added, being unique, flavorful, relatively easy to understand, and with solid mechanics.

This chapter also introduces 7 new monsters that are all associated with one of the many [[Vestige]]s that Binders can summon.  None of these monsters actually use Pact Magic and are more for showing the influence of [[Vestige]]s on the world, but several of them do have abilities similar to what their associated Vestige grants.
* [[Deadly Dancer]]: Aberrations that look like bony alien humanoids whose arms and legs end in blades.  They reproduce by breaking off one of their blades in a corpse.  They worship the vestige Paimon which they resemble, and often draw his seal, but don't actually summon him.
* [[Deathshead]]: An undead giant's head that walks around upside-down using its hair and possesses vast knowledge.  They closely resemble the vestige Shax, so it is believed that they were invented by a necromancer who was also a binder.
* [[Horned Beast]]: A fire-breathing goat with a snake for a tale.  It is believed that that these creatures were once golden rams that served the god Amon when he was alive, but his turn to evil after he died and became a vestige corrupted them as well.
* [[Karsite]] race with a 1st-Level Warrior as an example
* [[Roving Mauler]]
* [[Murder of Crows]] Swarm: A swarm of crows.  Is his believed that the swarming behavior of crows started as a result of the influence of the Vestige Malphas.
* [[Tooth Beast]]: Resembles a bear whose hair, nails, and eyes are replaced with teeth.  Their resemblance to the vestige Dahlver-Nar leads to the theory that they were created from binders who used too many of the teeth of Dahlver-Nar at the same time.
