Death-Throes. When the banisher dies, it explodes, and each creature within 30 feet of it must make a DC 19 Dexterity saving throw, taking 82 (15d10) force damage on a failed to save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
Magic Absorption. The banisher has an advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects. If the banisher is subjected to a spell or magical effect that allows it to make a saving throw to take only half damage, it instead takes no damage if it succeeds on the saving throw.
Multiattack. The banisher makes two force strike attacks.
Force Strike. Melee or Ranged Spell Attack: +10 to hit, reach 5 ft. or range 120 ft., one target. Hit: 20 (3d10 + 4) force damage.
Force Unleash. (Recharge 5-6). The banisher emits destructive energy in a 90-foot line that is 5 feet wide. Each creature in that line make a DC 19 Strength saving throw, taking 66 (12d10) force damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. A creature that fails the save is pushed 30 feet away from the banisher and is knocked prone.
Spell Return. In response to a creature casting a spell targeting the banisher, the banisher redirects it against the caster, turning the caster into the target.
The banisher can take 3 legendary actions, choosing from the options below. Only one legendary action option can be used at a time and only at the end of another creature's turn. The banisher regains spent legendary actions at the start of its turn.
- Force Strike. The banisher uses Force Strike.
- Poison Essence. The banisher targets one creature it can see within 60 feet of it. The target must make a DC 19 Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, the next spell cast by the target deals to the target 1d8 necrotic damage per level of the spell.
- Banish Magic. (Costs 2 Actions). The banisher emits an aura of antimagic, as in the antimagic field spell, in a 30-foot radius sphere centered on the banisher, until the start of its next turn.
- Siphon Magic. (Costs 2 Actions). The banisher targets one creature it can see within 60 feet of it. The banisher rolls a d8, and the target loses a spell slot of that level or lower. If the target has no spell slots left of that level or lower, nothing happens.

Description
Banishers were once powerful spellcasters, mages, warlocks, or maybe clerics that fell into the hands of the Sisters of Lolth. However, these unfortunate souls did not meet a swift and painful end on a pyre, like so many of their brethren. Instead, they were tortured relentlessly, poked with deep lead needles through the skull, locked for days in an iron maiden, and some other gruesome methods. The goal was not to torture but to kill the spark of magic in them, to turn them into a banisher, an antimagic weapon for the witch hunters. This process made them irremediably mad, destroying their mind as surely as their magic. Banishers constantly try to fill the magic void within them, draining the Weave with no way of giving it shape or form. Reminiscence of their spellcraft only comes now in a raw and violent burst of force energy. This makes them notoriously unstable, a magical siphon that could explode at any time. For this reason, most are constantly chained and never see the light of the day, locked down in some deep vault until there is no other solution left but to use them. When they are freed, they are transported in armored stagecoach and bound, under a heavy witch hunter escort.
