Traits

Spectral Mind.  Alberio can manifest a spectral mind up to 300 ft away from him. The spectral mind (and Alberuo through the mind) can hear and see and has darkvision with a range of 60 feet. Alberio can cast spells from the Spectral Mind's space up to 8 times per long rest.

One with the Word. Alberio makes all arcana checks with advantage.

Nondetectable. Alberio cannot be detected with divination magic. Any magical attempts to spy on him or learn his lore or abilities fail and the caster must make a DC 23 Arcana or Stealth check (they choose) or Alberio will know they tried to spy.

War Caster. Chancellor Vex has advantage on concentration checks and can cast spells as opportunity attacks.

Metamagic Adept. Vex has two sourcery points and can spend one sorcery point to double a spell's duration or one point to cast the spell without verbal or somatic components.

Mage Slayer. When Chancellor Vex damages a creature that is concentrating on a spell, that creature has disadvantage on the concentration check, and Alberio has advantage on saving throws against spells cast by creatures within 5 feet.
