Abilities
Eternal Damnation (divine) — As long as its soul chain remains intact, the accursed forge-spurned can't be truly destroyed and rises again fully healed at the next sundown, even if its physical body was destroyed.
Searing Heat (fire) — A creature that touches the accursed forge-spurned (including Grappling it or hitting it with an unarmed attack) takes 4d6 fire damage (DC 33 Reflex save).
Void Healing — A creature with void healing draws health from void energy rather than vitality energy. It is damaged by vitality damage and is not healed by vitality healing effects. It does not take void damage, and it is healed by void effects that heal undead.
Forge Breath (divine, fire) — The accursed forge-spurned breathes a cloud of stinging soot, ash, and glowing embers. This can affect either a 30-foot cone or a 20-foot burst centered on the accursed forge-spurned and persists for 1d4 rounds.
Creatures that move into or start their turn in the area take 12d6 fire damage (DC 36 Reflex save).
A creature that fails its save is also Blinded for 1 minute. Creatures within the cloud are Concealed, though not from the accursed forge-spurned.
The accursed forge-spurned can't use Forge Breath again until it has used Inflate Bellows.

Inflate Bellows —
Soul Chain (divine, fire) — If a creature is slain by an attack from the soul chain and the accursed forge-spurned is able to retain the creature's corpse, it can bind the creature's soul into the soul chain (as Seize Soul) with a day of work at a forge and a DC 20 Crafting check.
An individual whose soul is bound in this way can't be resurrected unless the soul chain is destroyed (Hardness 10, 40 HP, BT 20).
