Multiattack

The alhoon makes two Chilling Grasp or ArcaneBolt attacks.

Chilling Grasp

Melee Spell Attack: +8 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 14 (4d6) cold damage, and the alhoon regains 14 hit points.

Arcane Bolt

Ranged Spell Attack: +8 to hit, range 120 ft., one target. Hit: 28 (8d6) force damage.

Mind Blast (Recharge 5-6)

The alhoon magically emits psychic energy in a 60-foot cone. Each creature in that area must succeed on a DC 16 Intelligence saving throw or take 22 (4d8 + 4) psychic damage and be stunned for 1 minute. A target can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.

Spellcasting

The alhoon casts one of the following spells, requiring no material components and using Intelligence as the spellcasting ability (spell save DC 16):

At will: dancing lights, detect magic, detect thoughts, disguise self, mage hand, prestidigitation
1/day each: dominate monster, globe of invulnerability, invisibility, modify memory, plane shift (self only), wall of force

Reactions

Negate Spell (3/Day)

The alhoon targets one creature it can see within 60 feet of it that is casting a spell. If the spell is 3rd level or lower, the spell fails, but any spell slots or charges are not wasted.
