Venomfang Recalled

You temporarily resurrect Magnus Venomfang as an undead servant with 100 hit points, retaining his personality, memories, and magical abilities.

Command. Magnus acts immediately after Finlo's turn. Finlo must use his bonus action to command Magnus, who can then move and take one action. Without a command, Magnus acts only to defend himself, taking the Dodge action and moving away from immediate danger if necessary.

Struggle for Control. At the end of each turn in which Magnus takes damage, he makes a Charisma saving throw against Finlo's spell save DC. On a success, he breaks free and acts independently.

Necromantic Collapse. Once freed, Magnus has three turns remaining:

Turn 1: All abilities available.

Turn 2: Cannot cast spells of 4th level or higher.

Turn 3: Cannot cast spells. Collapses into a corpse at the end of the turn.

The spell ends immediately if Finlo chooses to loses concentration or Magnus reaches 0 hit points.

Multiattack. Magnus makes two attacks, choosing either Venomous Bolt or Polymorph Blade for each attack. Alternatively, he can forgo both attacks to cast one spell from his spell list.

Venomous Bolt. Ranged Spell Attack: +11 to hit, range 120 ft., one target.

Hit: 18 (3d8 + 5) poison damage plus 9 (2d8) psychic damage.

Polymorph Blade. Melee Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target.

Hit: 8 (1d8 + 3) slashing damage plus 9 (2d8) force damage.

Polymorphic Curse (1/Turn). When Magnus hits a creature with his Polymorph Blade, he can force it to make a DC 19 Wisdom saving throw. On a failure, the target is transformed into a harmless frog until the end of its next turn. The transformation also ends early if the target takes damage. This ability has no effect on creatures immune to the Polymorphed condition.

Spellcasting

Magnus can cast one spell instead of making his two attacks. His spells require no material components.
