• Webcraft (Ex): Teratact can create simple solid or flexible objects without moving parts out of webbing. The Teratact can produce an amount of flexible or hardening spider silk equal to their HD squared x 10 in gold value each day as a 1 round action. They can create any material that can be made out of fabric or wood with the material, but with the hp and hardness of leather or hide (hardness 2, 5 hp/inch). Unlike the web spell, Teratact silk is not flammable and generally reacts as leather or hide to damage. A craft check may be required to construct certain items.

Teratact silk eventually decays after 1 week. Via easy to produce but expensive alchemical processing, it can be made permanent by spending 1/6th of the cost of the item to stabilize the webbing. Teratact can typically create the required materials on the spot with any amount of water and organic debris, no check is needed to make it, and it has no other purpose than to stabilize Teratact webbing.
