Your shard attack is in the brawling weapon group and has the agile and modular (B, P, or S) traits.
Crystalline Resonance — Feat 1
[Inza]

5th Level
Adaptive Armaments — Feat 5
[Inza]
Prerequisites Crystalline Armament
You have learned to form more complex and specialized weapon shapes. When you enter the Crystalline Armament stance, choose two traits from the following list to apply to your shard unarmed attack: disarm, grapple, nonlethal, shove, trip, reach.
Core Resonance — Feat 5
[Inza]
Prerequisites Elemental Inza heritage or Resonant Inza heritage
You can draw more potent bursts of power from your energetic core. Choose one 1st-level spell from the same tradition as your heritage’s cantrip (primal for Elemental Inza, occult for Resonant Inza). You can cast this spell once per day as an innate spell of that tradition.
Crystalline Regrowth — Feat 5
[Inza]
Frequency Once per day
You can enter a state of resonant repair, causing your crystalline structure to regrow and seal its fractures. You spend 1 minute concentrating to regain Hit Points equal to 2d8 plus your Constitution modifier. During this time, you are off-guard and can’t take other actions. If you are interrupted, the healing does not occur, but the daily use of the — Feat is not expended. You can also use this activity to reattach a severed crystalline limb; the limb becomes functional immediately and is fully fused after 1 hour.
Crystalline Shield [one-action] — Feat 5
[Inza]
You manifest a temporary shield of shimmering crystal that floats near you, functioning as the Shield cantrip. However, your crystalline shield is more resilient than a purely magical one. When you use Shield Block with your crystalline aegis, the shield cracks but does not immediately shatter. Instead of being destroyed and going on a 10-minute cooldown, its Hardness is reduced by 5. You can continue to use this action and Shield Block with the reduced Hardness. If the shield’s Hardness is ever reduced to 0 or less, it shatters completely; you cannot use this — Feat again for 10 minutes, at which point it regains its full, normal Hardness.
Dampening Harmonics — Feat 5
[Inza]

Precious Shards — Feat 5
[Inza]
Prerequisites Crystalline Armament
Your control over your crystal form allows you to align its internal structure to mimic the properties of precious materials. Choose either cold iron or silver.

Special You can select this — Feat a second time, choosing the other material.
9th Level
Accelerated Regrowth — Feat 9
[Inza]
Prerequisites Crystalline Regrowth
The speed and efficiency of your self-repair functions have increased dramatically. The healing from your Crystalline Regrowth — Feat increases from 2d8 to 5d8 plus your Constitution modifier. Additionally, you can now use this ability on another willing Inza by laying your hands on them to facilitate their regrowth; this expends your daily use of the feat.
Crystalline Mind — Feat 9
[Inza]
Your mind is a complex, crystalline lattice that is difficult for outsiders to comprehend. You gain a +2 circumstance bonus to saving throws against effects that would read your thoughts, control your actions, or inflict the confused condition. If you roll a success on a saving throw against such an effect, you get a critical success instead.
Greater Core Resonance — Feat 9
[Inza]
Prerequisites Core Resonance
Your connection to your core’s power deepens, allowing you to manifest more complex effects. Choose one 3rd-level spell from the same tradition as your heritage’s cantrip (primal for Elemental Inza, occult for Resonant Inza).

Shifting Shards [one-action] — Feat 9
[Inza]
Prerequisites Adaptive Armaments

Perfected Core Resonance — Feat 13
[Inza]
Prerequisites Greater Core Resonance
Your command over your internal energy is nearing its peak. Choose one 5th-level spell from the same tradition as your heritage’s cantrip (primal for Elemental Inza, occult for Resonant Inza). You can cast this spell once per day as an innate spell of that tradition.
Resonant Restoration — Feat 13
[Inza]
Prerequisites Accelerated Regrowth
Your self-repair ability has become remarkably efficient. You can now use the Crystalline Regrowth — Feat once per hour, instead of once per day. Additionally, when you use the ability, the healing is so thorough that you can attempt to immediately counteract one poison or disease effect currently affecting you. The counteract level is equal to half your level (rounding up), and you use your class DC or spell DC for the check.
Geological Assimilation — Feat 13
[Inza]
You can temporarily incorporate nearby minerals into your crystalline structure to gain their properties. You can spend 10 minutes in physical contact with a non-magical piece of stone or metal of at least 1 bulk to assimilate it into your form.

Resonant Dissociation [two-actions] — Feat 17
[Inza]
Prerequisites Resonant Inza heritage
Frequency Once per day
Duration 1 minute
You push your consciousness fully out of your crystalline body, temporarily splitting into two separate beings.

There is no maximum range between the two forms, but the effect ends immediately if you are on different planes of existence.
- You share your Hit Points, actions, and multiple attack penalty between both forms. You do not get any special actions to command both simultaneously.
- The Crystal Automaton is your size, has your normal AC and saving throw modifiers, and is mindless. On your turn, you can have it take up to two of your actions to Stride or Strike. It is immune to mental effects.
- The Resonant Core is a Tiny, incorporeal being of light with a fly Speed of 30 feet. It uses your unarmored defense proficiency and gains no benefit from your physical form’s equipment. It has resistance 10 to all damage (except force) and the incorporeal trait. The Core can cast spells normally and gains a special ranged attack (resonant bolt, 60-foot range, deals 9d6 force damage).
- The effect ends if either form is reduced to 0 HP, you use this action again, or the duration ends, at which point your Core flows back into the Automaton.
