1. Ethereal Sight. The Yurei Lantern possesses the ability to peer into the Ethereal Plane, allowing it to see and interact with entities on both the Material and Ethereal Planes simultaneously. This ethereal sight enhances its awareness and makes it a formidable spectral presence.

2. Incorporeal Movement. The Yurei Lantern effortlessly glides through solid objects and creatures as if they were mist. Its incorporeal nature allows it to bypass obstacles with ease, making it a ghostly and elusive adversary.

3. Illumination. The Yurei Lantern emanates an eerie, dim light in a 10-foot radius. This spectral glow not only provides an unsettling illumination but also serves as a telltale sign of its malevolent presence.

4. Invisibility. The Yurei Lantern can shroud itself in invisibility, rendering it unseen by the naked eye. This ethereal concealment adds to the lantern's haunting and elusive nature, making it a challenging foe to confront.

5. False Appearance. When motionless and devoid of emitted light, the Yurei Lantern adopts the appearance of a regular lantern. This deceptive guise allows it to lurk unnoticed until the moment it reveals its true, malevolent form.

1. Draining Touch. Melee Spell Attack: The Yurei Lantern reaches out with its ghostly appendage, attempting to touch a target within 5 feet. On a successful hit, the target is seared by necrotic energy, taking 10 (3d6) damage. Additionally, the victim must succeed on a DC 12 Constitution saving throw or experience a drain on their life force, reducing their maximum hit points by an amount equal to the damage taken. This life drain persists until the target completes a long rest. If the drain reduces the target's maximum hit points to 0, the target dies, consumed by the ethereal energy.

2. Ethereal Flames. The Yurei Lantern releases ghostly flames in a 15-foot cone, searing all creatures caught in its spectral blaze. Each creature in the area must make a DC 12 Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, they suffer 14 (4d6) necrotic damage, and on a successful save, they take half as much damage. The ethereal flames showcase the lantern's ability to unleash otherworldly powers to harm those who dare to approach.

Ethereal Shift. The Yurei Lantern, being a creature that straddles the boundaries between planes, can use its bonus action to momentarily shift further into the Ethereal Plane. During this brief shift, the lantern gains advantage on Dexterity saving throws until the start of its next turn, as it becomes even more elusive and incorporeal.

Spectral Vanish. When the Yurei Lantern is targeted by a melee attack or a spell that requires a ranged attack roll and the attack misses, the lantern can use its reaction to briefly phase out of existence, becoming incorporeal and immune to all damage until the start of its next turn. This spectral vanish reflects the lantern's ability to elude attacks with its ethereal nature.
