Description
An ancient archmage from the age of Netheril, the ancient archmage has greater magical abilities than modern archmages, and wields magic lost to the ages. In distant lands, the ancient archmage studies and creates spells in secretive lairs. He believes that civilization was wiped out by the Phaerimm and attempts to keep his existence a secret.
Lair and Lair Actions
The Ancient Archmage's lair is often extremely well protected and difficult to find. Black Tentacles and Glyph of Warding are commonplace. Glyphs of Warding commonly contain Prismatic Spray or Incendiary Cloud.
Lair Actions
On initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties), the ancient archmage takes a lair action to cause one of the following effects; the ancient archmage can’t use the same effect two rounds in a row:
- The ancient archmage rolls a d4 and uses a spell of that level or lower, without consuming a spell slot
- The ancient archmage rolls a d10 and regains a spell slot of that level or lower.
- The ancient archmage rolls a d8 and uses a spell of that level or lower, and does use a spell slot.
Regional Effects
The region containing a legendary ancient archmage’s lair is also protected by extreme weather, which creates one or more of the following effects:
- If the environment is Mountain or Arctic, the weather is always Blizzard, Storm Winds, and Arctic Cold
- If the environment is Desert, the weather is always Unbearable Heat, Torrential Rain, and Storm Winds
If the ancient archmage dies, these effects fade over the course of 8d20 days.
