Ethereal Sight. Candace can see 60 feet into the Ethereal Plane when it is on the Material Plane, and vice versa.
Incorporeal Movement. Candace can move through other creatures and objects as if they were difficult terrain. She takes 5 (1d10) force damage if she ends her turn inside an object.
Silence Field. aura 30 ft.; no sound can be created within or pass through the aura. Any creature or object entirely inside the sphere is immune to thunder damage, and creatures are deafened while entirely inside it. Casting a spell that includes a verbal component is impossible in this aura. Candice can dismiss or restore this aura using a bonus action.
Spellcasting. Candice is an 11th-level spellcaster. Her spellcasting ability is Charisma (spell save DC 17, +8 to hit with spell attacks). Candice has the following bard spells prepared, requiring no verbal components:
- Cantrips (at will): friends, message (can pierce magical silence), minor illusion, prestidigitation
- 1st level (4 slots): charm person, hideous laughter, silent image, sleep
- 2nd level (3 slots): cloud of daggers, crown of madness, hold person, phantasmal force
- 3rd level (3 slots): enemies abound, fear, major image
- 4th level (3 slots): confusion, polymorph, raulothim's psychic lance
- 5th level (2 slots): mislead, synaptic static
- 6th level (1 slot): eyebite
Withering Touch. Melee Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 26 (6d6 + 5) necrotic damage. If a creature is reduced to 0 hit points as a result of this attack's damage, they disintegrate, leaving what they were carrying at the time of death behind.
Greater Etherealness. Candice enters the Ethereal Plane from the Material Plane, or vice versa. She is visible on the Material Plane while she is in the Border Ethereal, and vice versa, yet she can't affect or be affected by anything on the other plane. If Candice is touching a willing creature, they can both be transported to the Ethereal Plane from the Material Plane, or vice versa.
Horrifying Visage. Each non-undead creature within 60 feet of Candice that can see her must succeed on a DC 18 Wisdom saving throw or be frightened for 1 minute. If the save fails by 5 or more, the target also ages 1d4 × 10 years. A frightened target can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the frightened condition on itself on a success. If a target's saving throw is successful or the effect ends for it, the target is immune to Candice's Horrifying Visage for the next 24 hours. The aging effect can be reversed with a greater restoration spell, but only within 24 hours of it occurring.
Adorcism (Recharge 6). One creature Candice can see within 30 feet of her must succeed a DC 18 Charisma saving throw or be killed. Creatures that are vulnerable to necrotic damage automatically fail the saving throw. If a humanoid creature is killed by this effect, a ghost immediately emerges from their corpse. The ghost is loyal to Candice, and acts on her initiative count. When Candice is slain, all ghosts created using Adorcism return to their corpses (provided the corpse has not been destroyed and has not been removed from this plane of existence), making the slain humanoids return to 0 hit points and becoming stable.
Description
Candice, otherwise known as the Princess of the Netherrealm, is an exceptionally powerful ghost that invented and perfected the art of adorcism, or the forcible removal of a person's spirit from their body. Candice's extremities are tied to her body with string, likening her to a windchime. She has a characteristic birthmark surrounding her right eye, and she wears a hole-ridden bedsheet like a cloak.
Goddess of Quiet Deaths. Candice is completely silent, as is the air surrounding her. Rumor has it that Candice suffered an untimely demise at the prime of her life at the hands of her closest friend, who left her bleeding out in a closet. Despite Candice's cries for help, nobody came. Now, Candice stalks the Material Plane, serving as an avenger for ghosts taken before their time, a role she has been fulfilling for the past 300 years. On a lighter note, Candice is a skilled dancer, and musicians and dancers alike invoke Candice's name as a blessing before performances. Sometimes, when Candice takes a liking to a particular artist, she can be seen in the audience at one of their performances.
