Abilities
Final Blasphemy (divine, void) — When the herexen is destroyed, it explodes in a wave of void energy with the effects of a 3-action Harm spell (DC 18 Fortitude).
The herexen is destroyed, so it doesn't gain any Hit Points from this use of harm , and it doesn't need to have any harm spells remaining to use this ability

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.
Heretic's Smite (divine) — While wielding the favored weapon of its former deity (such as a dagger for an ex-Pharasmin herexen), the herexen's Strikes deal an additional 1d6 spirit damage to creatures with the holy trait.
