Abilities

Greater Darkvisioninteraction

A creature with greater darkvision can see perfectly well in areas of darkness and dim light, though such vision is in black and white only. A creature with greater darkvision can see through even forms of magical darkness.

Telepathy 30 feetinteraction(aura, magical)

A monster with telepathy can communicate mentally with any creatures within the listed radius, as long as they share a language. This doesn't give any special access to their thoughts, and communicates no more information than normal speech would.

Constant Spellsinteraction

A constant spell affects the monster without the monster needing to cast it, and its duration is unlimited. If a constant spell gets counteracted, the monster can reactivate it by spending the normal spellcasting actions the spell requires.

+1 to All Saves vs. Magicdefensive

Covetous Flamesoffensive

Any weapon the ascendant holds gains the effects of a Flaming and Striking rune while they hold it.

Furious Wings◆◆offensive

The ascendant beats their wings in a frenzied motion, creating a powerful blast of wind that disperses fog and gases, blows objects of light Bulk or less away. All creatures within 20-foot emanation of the ascendant must succeed at a DC 23 reflex save or be pushed 5 feet away from the ascendant, or 10 feet on a critical failure. A flying creature that fails its save gets a critical failure instead.
