Incarnum feats

Incarnum feats are similar to soulmelds in that they allow you to invest essentia into them, increasing their power. Unlike most other incarnum-based abilities, a character can invest essentia into each incarnum feat only once per day. Once invested, the essentia is unavailable for other purposes until 24 hours have passed.

However large your essentia pool is, you can only invest one point of essentia into any one soulmeld, feat, class feature, magic item, or other incarnum receptable. This limit increases to two at character level 6th.

Incarnum feats display visual manifestations of their effects, such as a faint radiance or glow. Unless noted otherwise, these effects do not provide any actual illumination and do not affect a character's ability to hide (nor do they give away an invisible character's location).
