Actions

Multiattack. Shafazal makes three Desert Storm attacks. She may replace one of her attacks with a use of a Wand or Spellcasting. She may always use a healing potion, as Abdul feeds one to her if needed.   Desert Storm. Melee or Ranged Spell Attack: 1d20+9 to hit, reach 5 ft. or range 120 ft., one target. Hit: 19 ( 3d10+3 ) force damage.   Wand Of Magic Missiles. Shafazal creates three glowing darts of magical force. Each dart hits a creature of her choice that she can see within 120 feet of her. A dart deals 1d4+1 force damage to its target. She can overcharge this attack to spell level 9, creating 12 missiles (link). Roll a 1d20 each time the wand is used; on a natural 1, she runs out of charges. Add -1 to the check for each spell level used above first. This otherwise works like the magic missile spell.   Wand Of Polymorphing. Shafazal targets a creature she can see within 60 feet of her and casts the polymorph spell. Roll a 1d20 each time the wand is used; on a natural 1, she runs out of charges.   Spellcasting. Shafazal is an 18th-level spellcaster. Her spellcasting ability is Intelligence (spell save DC 17, 1d20+9 to hit with spell attacks). She can cast disguise self and invisibility at will and has the following wizard spells prepared:

• Cantrips (at will): fire bolt, light, mage hand, prestidigitation, shocking grasp
• 1st level (4 slots): charm person, enhance ability (STR)*, sha'ir mage armor* (in addition to the typical effects of this spell, it sets her AC to 17 and provides a 125 hp absorption shield), magic missile
• 2nd level (3 slots): hold person, mirror image**, misty step
• 3rd level (3 slots): counterspell, fly, lightning bolt
• 4th level (3 slots): sha'ir phantasmal killer (as phantasmal killer, except the target dies on a failed saving throw, either way the target takes 3d6 psychic damage), fire shield**, sha'ir stoneskin (in addition to the normal effects of stoneskin spell, it automatically cancels the first 7 attacks against Shafazal)*
• 5th level (3 slots): cone of cold, dominate person, wall of force**
• 6th level (1 slot): globe of invulnerability**
• 7th level (1 slot): teleport
• 8th level (1 slot): mind blank*
• 9th level (1 slot): sha'ir weird (as weird but on a failed save the target dies, on a success the target is stunned until the end of the PCs next turn. Either way the target takes 4d10 psychic damage) or time stop

BONUS ACTION

Reactions

Desert Shield. When hit by an attack that requires a to-hit roll, as a reaction, Shafazal raises a shield that increases her AC by +5 until the end of her next turn, cancels the effects of cold spells/damage and throws sand into the eyes of the triggering attacker. The target must make a CON saving throw or be blinded for 1 minute. The target can repeat the saving throw to end the Blindness condition at the end of his turn. Alternatively, the target can spend an Action with water to clean his eyes, ending the Blinded condition.   Contingency. When first bloodied, Shafazal snaps her fingers and begins to fly. She may then move up to 60 feet as part of this reaction, not provoking attacks of opportunity. She can also trigger this effect as a normal Action or Bonus Action.   Instinctive Charm. When a visible creature within 30 feet of Shafazal makes an attack roll against her or an ally, she forces the attacker to make a WIS saving throw. On a failed save, the attacker redirects the attack roll to the creature closest to it, other than the Shafazal or himself. The attacker chooses which one to target if multiple eligible creatures are closest.

Legendary Actions

Shafazal can take 3 legendary actions, choosing from her standard set of actions (except Multitatack), Contingency or Jellaba Of Scintillating Colors (if available). Only one legendary action option can be used at a time and only at the end of another creature’s turn. Shafazal regains spent legendary actions at the start of her turn.
