"Spirit of [X]" feats

[Talisman]

These are some fey-flavored feats I've been working on for Project Feybook. They're more powerful than some feats, but they're also quite restricted. I've never liked the "gain a 0-level spell" feats, as they become useless within 2 or 3 levels. This is my attempt at something else...these feats scale with level, granting more powerful SLAs based on HD.

I've set it up so you gain the SLA two levels behind a full caster. Also, I know Sig hates 1/day abilities, but I truly think that making these 3/day would break the feats.

It should be noted that this is not intended to replace or compete with Sig's bloodline feats...these are totally different.

Spirit Feats
The fey are primal spirits of nature, and in many ways they embody certain concepts. Nymphs embody beauty; satyrs embody hedonism; sprites embody mischief. Spirit feats allow a fey creature to focus on what they embody and gain magical abilities based on that.
Only fey or creatures with the "Feyblooded" subtype may take spirit feats (if the GM wishes, these feats may be available to other "embodiment of concept" creatures, such as outsiders). Furthermore, these feats represent a high degree of focus and personal insight--taking a spirit feat should be a significant event, not like picking up Alertness or Weapon Focus. A spirit feat says a great deal about the concept behind the character or creature--someone with Spirit of Beauty is probably going to be very different from someone with Spirit of Fire.
A character may have no more than one spirit feat per six Hit Dice/levels. A creature with fewer than six Hit Dice or levels may take a spirit feat, provided they meet all the prerequisites, but they may not take a second spirit feat until they attain 12 HD/levels, and may not take the third until 18 HD/levels.
All spirit feats grant spell-like abilities, with the exact abilities available dependant on Hit Dice. This keeps the feats relevant at higher levels. All spell-like abilities are useable once per day, have a caster level equal to the character's character level/total HD, and any save DCs are 10 + 1/2 character level/HD + Charisma modifier.

It's like lesser Spheres with more requirements.
Although they are 1/day, I do have hopes that they will be better received than Spheres or my Bloodlines due to the power expectations of many gamers.
