Frightful Presence. Each creature of Ceizzat's choice that is within 120 feet of him and aware of him must succeed on a DC 21 Wisdom saving throw or become frightened for 1 minute. A creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. If a creature's saving throw is successful or the effect ends for it, the creature is immune to the Ceizzat's Frightful Presence for the next 24 hours.

Lair and Lair Actions
Lair Actions
On initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties), the Ceizzat takes a lair action to cause one of the following effects; Ceizzat can’t use the same effect two rounds in a row: rolls a d8 and regains a spell slot of that level or lower. If it has no spent spell slots of that level or lower, nothing happens.
- Ceizzat rolls a d8 and regains a spell slot of that level or lower. If it has no spent spell slots of that level or lower, nothing happens.
- Ceizzat targets one creature it can see within 30 feet of it. A crackling cord of negative energy tethers Ceizzat to the target. Whenever Ceizzat takes damage, the target must make a DC 18 Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, Ceizzat takes half the damage (rounded down), and the target takes the remaining damage. This tether lasts until initiative count 20 on the next round or until Ceizzat or the target is no longer in the Ceizzat's lair.
- Ceizzat calls forth the spirits of creatures that died in his lair. These apparitions materialize and attack one creature that Ceizzat can see within 60 feet of it. The target must succeed on a DC 18 Constitution saving throw, taking 52 (15d6) necrotic damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a success. The apparitions then disappear.
- Regional Effects
The region containing Ceizzat's lair is warped by his magic, which creates one or more of the following effects:
- There’s a noticeable increase in the populations of bats, rats, and wolves in the region.
- Plants within 500 feet of the lair wither, and their stems and branches become twisted and thorny.
- Shadows cast within 500 feet of the lair seem abnormally gaunt and sometimes move as though alive.
- A creeping fog clings to the ground within 500 feet of Ceizzat's lair. The fog occasionally takes eerie forms, such as grasping claws and writhing serpents.
