Soul-Rind Aura

Within 20 feet of Araxon, living creatures feel their souls tugged at.

When Araxon deals necrotic damage with a spell, he adds +4 damage and can force one target to make a DC 17 Con save or suffer Disadvantage on attack rolls until the end of their next turn.

Withered Form

The first time Araxon would be reduced to 0 hit points, he instead reforms as crackling soul-flame, regaining 50 hit points and gaining Resistance to radiant damage for 1 minute.
