Traits

Dread Vengeance (psychic) ✦ Aura 2

While Moghadam is not bloodied, any enemy that starts its turn within the aura takes 2d10 psychic damage and is dazed until the start of its next turn.

Spawn Wraith

Any humanoid killed by Moghadam rises as a free-willed sword wraith (page 63) at the start of its creator's next turn, appearing in the space where it died, or in the nearest unoccupied space if that space is occupied. Raising the slain creature (using a Raise Dead ritual) does not destroy the spawned wraith.
