Abilities

+1 Status to All Saves vs. Vitality
Rejuvenation (occult) — When a pyrogeist is destroyed, it reforms where it was destroyed after 2d4 days, fully healed. The pyrogeist can be permanently destroyed only if someone determines the reason for its existence and sets right whatever prevents the spirit from resting.
Void Healing — Negative Healing
Breath Weapon (arcane, void) — A pyrogeist can spit a cone of spectral fire in a 30-foot cone, dealing 10d6 void damage (DC 29 Fortitude). A creature that fails the save also takes 1d6 persistent void damage and is subject to the effects of Faerie Fire until the persistent damage ends.
Pyrokinetic Whirlwind (concentrate, occult, polymorph, void) — The pyrogeist transforms into a 40-foot tall vortex of spectral flame that appears to immolate everything within a 10-foot burst. A creature within this area take 2d12+20 void damage (DC 29 Fortitude).
Soul Consumption (divine, evil) — The spirit of a creature that dies from damage dealt by the pyrogeist's Pyrokinetic Whirlwind is trapped within the pyrogeist as if subjected to the effects of the bind soul spell. This effect persists until the pyrogeist is destroyed or chooses to set the soul free. The spirit remains trapped whether or not the pyrogeist is using Pyrokinetic Whirlwind. A pyrogeist can contain only one soul at a time in this manner.
