Ellis has his own personal realm of holding in which he can store explosives for future use.
In order to store a bomb, Ellis must first have performed the Ritual of Bomb Bonding with this particular explosive. This ritual lasts three minutes, and involves a complex geometric dance. During the ritual, the bomb will detonate and then immediately piece itself back together several times, imbuing a small fragment of Ellis' soul within it. No damage will be dealt to anything, but anything within a 3 meter radius that is flammable might appear slightly singed. Once a bomb is Bonded, it will remain that way until it is destroyed.
To store the bomb, Ellis places his hand on top of the Bonded explosive, upon which the explosive appears to detonate in a small area covering his hand. Re-summoning a bomb looks as if another small explosion occurred but in reverse.
Spend a Free Action to activate. This Effect cannot be used unless the bomb being stored has undergone the Ritual of Bomb Bonding.

One night in my cave a wolf arrived that had been in quite the brawl. One ear was barely hanging on by a scrap of fur. I fed the beast and cleaned it's wounds and in return I was able to keep his ear as a token. He is now a wary ally, but I hope we may become dear friends.
Exert your Mind and spend an Action to activate. Select a Creature within 20 feet. You may select a target at any range if you use up Wolf's ear of the target.
