ShadeSniperLANDAERIALastral
Rarely, when an ioton leeches a particularly secretive thought, it can choke to death on the secret, only to be born from its previous body into that of a loreavor: an ennosite whose existence is shaped around the consumption of secrets and artistry. Loreavors sip at secrets throughout their lives and are instinctively drawn to obscure information. Their hunger places them firmly at odds with scholars and historians alike. Living victims lose memories; written texts become blank books. Loreavor

Abilities
Thoughtsense (Imprecise) 60 feet — Thoughtsense allows a monster to sense all non-mindless creatures at the listed range.
Constant Spells — 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.
Reconstruct Spell (mental, occult) —
Redact (occult) — By spending an hour in contact with a non-magical document or piece of artwork no larger than 1 Bulk, a loreavor can consume either a few words from the text or render the artistry of the work more mundane. Doing so heals the loreavor of 4d8 healing HP. Words fade from the text, leaving an obvious blank space behind, while artwork is reduced in worth by 10% of its original value. A loreavor can consume incidental text in this manner from a spellbook but cannot consume actual spells recorded in the book. The loreavor can't use Redact for 24 hours.
Search Memory (mental, occult) — When the loreavor damages a creature with its touch Strike, the creature must succeed at a DC 28 Will save or become Stupefied 1, or Stupefied 2 on a critical failure.
