Pre-Remaster content. May include legacy alignment.

Though many spellcasters can harness the forces of magic in a consistent manner, such power can't always be controlled, especially in the hands of reckless researchers, megalomaniacal villains, or untested novices. When magical accidents result in large-scale property damage and the loss of life, these forces sometimes take on lives of their own, forming a dangerous amalgamation of ongoing magical energy known as a roiling incant.

Abilities

Absorb Evocation — A roiling incant is made of evocation energy. Any time it would be affected by another creature's non-cantrip evocation spell, after applying its immunity, it also regains 5 healing Hit Points.
Engulf — DC 28 Reflex, 2d8 force plus 4d4 fire damage, , Rupture 20 Engulf
Unstable Magic — A roiling incant is as much a mass of unstable magic as it is a creature. Is isn't living or undead, nor is it even a construct. It can't be healed or Repaired and is destroyed at 0 Hit Points, though it naturally recovers a number of Hit Points equal to its level × its Constitution modifier (54 healing for most roiling incants) each day. Each time a roiling incant casts one of its non-cantrip spells, it drains its own magic to do so, taking 5 force damage.
