Bound to the Amulet. Zahir controls Charlene through the magical amulet around her neck. If the amulet is successfully removed, the possession immediately ends, her body collapses, and Zahir returns to the amulet.
Damaging Charlene's body does not injure Zahir's true form. If reduced to 0 hit points, the puppet collapses and Zahir withdraws, but Charlene's remains suffer permanent physical damage.
Marionette of the Golden Wind. Golden spectral strings suspend Charlene's body. She can hover and move without touching the ground. She ignores difficult terrain caused by loose debris, flowers, and furniture.
Mockery of the Dead. Whenever a creature within 30 feet misses Charlene with an attack, Zahir may speak to it in Charlene's voice. The attacker must succeed on a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw or suffer a −1d4 penalty to its next attack roll before the end of its next turn. A creature can only be affected once per round.
Lingering Memory. Once during the encounter, when Mann Des Krieg or another character close to Charlene addresses her sincerely, Zahir's control falters. Charlene becomes incapacitated until the beginning of her next turn. This is a residual magical imprint, not Charlene's returned soul.
Multiattack. Puppet Charlene makes two Golden String Lash attacks.
Golden String Lash. Melee Spell Attack: +8 to hit, reach 15 ft., one target.
Hit: 13 (2d8 + 4) force damage. The target must succeed on a DC 15 Strength saving throw or be pulled up to 10 feet toward Charlene.
Tempest of Mourning (Recharge 5–6). Zahir raises Charlene's arms and unleashes a swirling burst of golden sand, funeral petals, and cutting winds.
Each creature of Zahir's choice within 15 feet of Charlene must make a DC 16 Dexterity saving throw.
Failure: 21 (6d6) slashing damage and pushed 15 feet away.
Success: Half damage and no push.
Candles extinguish, flowers scatter, and unsecured objects are thrown across the chamber.
A Familiar Voice (Recharge 4–6). Zahir speaks directly into a creature's mind using Charlene's voice.
One creature within 60 feet that can hear her must succeed on a DC 16 Wisdom saving throw.
Failure: The creature is charmed by Puppet Charlene until the end of its next turn. While charmed this way, its speed is 0 and it cannot take reactions.
Success: The creature is immune to this ability for 24 hours.
Unnatural Waltz. Puppet Charlene moves up to half her movement speed without provoking opportunity attacks. As she moves, her limbs bend at disturbing angles, as though invisible hands are guiding her.
Golden Veil. When Puppet Charlene is targeted by an attack, she gains +3 AC against that attack. Zahir must use this reaction before knowing whether the attack hits.
