These traits are tied to the powers of akasha. You do not have to use akashic magic to take these traits, but many of the benefits require you to weave veils to be able to use them.
The Akashic Traits
Akashic Disguise
You have a strong and often confounding degree of control over the form of your veils.
Benefit: You gain a + 4 trait bonus on Deception checks to disguise the presence and function of your veils, and Disguise is always a class skill for you.

Essence Rich Soul
Your soul is more naturally attuned to the powers of akasha than others of your kind.
Benefit: You gain 1 point of essence.
Fortified Veils
You weave your veils in a manner which reinforces them beyond the norm, making them for more resistant to being unraveled.
Benefit: Your veils gain a +2 trait bonus to hardness and hit points to resist effects that would unravel them and a +1 trait bonus to veilweaver level to resist dispel attempts.

Benefit: Pick a veiweaving class when you gain this trait—your veiweaver level in that class gains a +2 trait bonus as long as this bonus doesn’t raise your veiweaver level above your current Hit Dice.
