Description
Cassiok Shadowdusk is an aberrant archmage who pledged his sole to be further corrupted by the Far Realm. He absorbed his pet grick alpha as a limb and his bodyguard slaad to gain its defensive properties. HIs body, though larger than before, is still the shape of a giant beetle.
Mutation Beyond Magic. Cassiok is too far gone to be able to hold and use his staff of power. Any remaining spellcasting ability is latent and arises only in his attacks and an instinct to counterspell.
