Heart of the Storm. Whenever Thurl starts casting a spell of 1st level or higher that deals lightning or thunder damage, stormy magic erupts from him. This eruption causes creatures of his choice that he can see within 10 feet of him to take 4 lightning or thunder damage (choose each time this ability activates).

Description
After the death of Aerisi and his own defeat at Feathergale Spire, Thurl found his way down to the Howling Caves and the node of elemental air. There, he communed with Yan-C-Bin, requesting more power to defeat his enemies. Thurl sacrificed his loyal griffon mount on the steps of the air node in exchange for being fused with the power of elemental air.
In doing so, Thurl became barely more then a thrall to Yan-C-Bin, a shell of his former self. Teeming with rage over his previous losses and near death experiences, he is driven by one desire: retrieve Windvane from the heretics that stole it from him and revive the cult of elemental air in his image.
Original Description: Thurl Merosska is the leader of the Feathergale Knights. Once a griffon rider of Waterdeep, Thurl retired after a storm nearly claimed his life. Obsessed with his near-death experience, Thurl learned of Yan-C-Bin and swore an oath to serve the elemental prince in exchange for power.
Thurl realized that there were others among the wealthy of Waterdeep who might make worthy servants of Yan-C-Bin. He formed the Feathergale Society to lure likely individuals into the air cult. He indoctrinated his Feathergale knights, one by one, into the cult’s beliefs.
When Aerisi Kalinoth arose as the chosen prophet of air, Thurl reluctantly pledged the Feathergale Knights to the cause. He resents Aerisi Kalinoth’s rulership of the cult, but tells himself that he can use her and her followers to make the Feathergale Society strong enough to rule Waterdeep as it should be ruled.
