Actions & Abilities
Multiattack: Enchanted Dance: Mirashaar makes three attacks: two with Life Drain and one with Charming Melody.
Life Drain: (Melee Spell Attack): Attack: +9 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 27 (6d8) necrotic damage, and Mirashaar regains hit points equal to half the damage dealt.

For each target hit, the air thrums with a bittersweet melody, reminiscent of lost loves.
Charming Melody: (Charm Ability): Range: 30 ft; one creature of Mirashaar’s choice. Effect: The target must make a DC 16 Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, the target is charmed by Mirashaar for 1 minute. While charmed, the target must move towards Mirashaar and defend him. The target can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. Description: A haunting tune fills the air, swirling around the creature like tendrils of mist, gently tugging at their heartstrings, compelling them to obey Mirashaar’s will.
Twilight Tempest (Recharge 5-6): Effect: Mirashaar summons a storm of enchanting winds in a 30 ft radius around him. Each creature in the area must succeed on a DC 13 Strength saving throw or take 22 (4d10) psychic damage and be pushed back 10 ft. and knocked prone. Creatures that succeed take half damage and don’t fall prone. Description: With a flourish of his wings, Mirashaar conjures tumultuous winds that whirl around, raising the tension of the battlefield as echoes of laughter and sorrow dance through the air.
Mist Form: (Bonus Action): Mirashaar transforms into an incorporeal mist for 1 minute. While in this form, he cannot attack or be attacked but can move through creatures and objects. He reverts to his normal form if he chooses to make an attack or at the end of the duration. Description: Mirashaar vanishes in a shimmering swirl, becoming a drifting wisp that paints the air with hues of twilight, shadows melding with the light as he glides gracefully through solid matter.
Gust of Enchantment (Recharge 4-6): Mirashaar releases swirling winds tinged with magic affecting up to two players within range (60 ft). Each must make a DC 14 Wisdom saving throw or lose their reaction and be unable to move until the end of their next turn.

Description: The shimmering beauty of Mirashaar’s form becomes blinding, casting illusions of enchanting images that ensnare the viewer’s mind.
Ethereal Escape: Mirashaar uses a legendary action to teleport up to 30 ft. to an unoccupied space he can see. This does not provoke opportunity attacks. Description: Mirashaar becomes a flurry of shimmering lights before reappearing elsewhere, avoiding attacks with an elegance that feels both spellbinding and elusive.
Twilight Veil: Magical twilight mist spreads in a 30 ft radius within the lair. Creatures within this area must make a DC 17 Dexterity saving throw or become blinded until the end of their next turn due to the enchantingly disorienting visual effects. Description: The mist shimmers like the sky at dusk, clouding vision and swirling with arcane energy, creating an enchanting sense of confusion.
Mirthful Trap: Mirashaar can cause a location within his lair to create a delightful yet deadly illusion. One creature of his choice within 60 ft must succeed on a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw or be charmed by a mirage until the end of their next turn, unable to take actions. Description: The air fills with shimmering patterns, whispering promises of joy and beauty, binding the target to the illusion.
Dazzling Display: When a creature targets Mirashaar with an attack, he can add +5 to his AC until the end of that turn if he has his wings extended, causing dazzling light to confuse the attacker.

His slender frame exudes both regality and otherworldliness, captivating those who encounter him.

His deep-set eyes, swirling with cosmic starlight, invite and ensnare those who dare to meet his gaze, while his lush lips, glistening with a subtle sheen, often form a mischievous smile that hints at his predatory charm. Above his brow, elegant spiraling horns, reminiscent of delicate vines adorned with soft night-bloom flowers, curve backward, reinforcing his celestial majesty.
His limbs are long and slender, ending in delicate fingers tipped with translucent, crystalline projections that catch the light. These graceful hands suggest an ethereal agility, enabling movement with grace and precision. From his back, magnificent feathery wings unfold, resembling the soft glow of twilight and shimmering enchantingly. When fully unfurled, these wings create a stunning spectacle, leaving onlookers in awe.
Mirashaar’s unique features extend to his head, where a crown of night-bloom flowers releases glowing motes, twinkling like distant stars as they drift around him. Bioluminescent patterns spiral elegantly down his arms and across his chest, pulsating gently in sync with his heartbeat, signaling the closeness of his life force and hinting at the power he siphons from others.
Maintaining an upright and poised posture, Mirashaar moves with fluidity, gliding as if he were a whisper carried upon the wind. An ephemeral mist swirls around his feet and cascades from his wings, laden with sparkling motes that further enhance his enchantment. As he moves, the air shimmers around him with a magical energy that captivates and distorts surroundings, embodying both charisma and mystery.

Tactical Information
Tactical Information on Mirashaar, the Everlife
Behavior in Day-to-Day Life
In the ethereal twilight realm where Mirashaar resides, he behaves with the grace and elegance of a true fey lord. His days are spent orchestrating elaborate celebrations upon his floating platform, where he invites unsuspecting guests—often drawn in by the allure of whimsies and wonders promised by his enchanting magic. Mirashaar thrives on the energy of revelry, feeding off the emotions of joy, sorrow, and despair that his guests experience. Each soirée is both a spectacle and a macabre feast, designed to invigorate him as he extracts vitality from the entranced.
Within this otherworldly environment, Mirashaar interacts with minor fey and spirits that serve him, employing them as couriers or spies to gather information about visiting mortals or potential new sources of enchanting life essence. Though he rules with apparent charm, he is also tyrannical at heart. Any creature that dares to offend or displease him will find themselves either cast into a nightmarish reverie or magically bound to serve his whims. Mirashaar exhibits a capricious temperament—one moment he might be a gracious host, and the next, a cold tormentor if he feels his authority is challenged.
Motivations: His desire for connection is conflicting; he seeks adoration yet fears the isolation that comes with his vampiric existence, trapped within his paradoxical role—a charming host who only finds sustenance through torment. As a result, Mirashaar crafts situations where he can manipulate emotions to keep his guests engaged, ecstatic, and ultimately ensnared in his web.
Combat Behavior
When combat is initiated, typically by an unexpected attack or the arrival of intruders seeking to disrupt his grand party, Mirashaar approaches the situation with both elegance and cunning. His first instinct is to use his charm abilities to sow discord among the party, utilizing Charm of Dread on the most formidable-looking adversaries, compelling them to assist him or distract their allies.
In his initial move, Mirashaar might make use of the Twilight Tempest, facilitating chaos in the battlefield to disorient the adventurers. He favors positioning himself on higher ground, where his enchanting presence can be both intimidating and captivating, allowing him to draw in potential targets with his beauty. By combining this with Dance of Shadows, he crafts a situation where he can strike from advantageous positions repeatedly, shifting between enemies to maximize his effect.
When Mirashaar finds himself outnumbered or sensing that the tide of battle may shift against him, he deftly employs Mist Form, retreating into the incorporeal state. This not only allows him to evade damage but also buy time to reassess the battlefield, seeking alternative means to gather his strength or re-engage with a more favorable tactical position.
His strengths lie in his extraordinary ability to manipulate emotions and control the flow of battle using confusion and charming powers, while his weaknesses are notably the fragility of his physical form—should enemies break his enchantments or rally against him with strong will, Mirashaar will find himself on the defensive, possibly retreating to preserve his essence.
Roleplay/Narrative Interactions
In non-combat scenarios, Mirashaar is a master of charm and persuasion. Though he is a creature of dark enchantment, he relishes moments of verbal engagement with visitors, engaging them in banter draped with veils of mystery. He might invite adventurers to partake in his revelries, offering tantalizing bribes of knowledge, artifacts, or origins of forgotten lore—though all with an ulterior motive, as he seeks to gauge their inner desires.
Should adventurers approach with diplomacy, Mirashaar will swirl his words like silken threads, offering enticing propositions. He could suggest trade of favors, leveraging promises in exchange for freedom or granting them insights into underlying spells that could enhance their abilities.
However, any blatant threats or attempts to corner him may evoke a shadowed fury. In response, Mirashaar will dismiss the intruders with laughter, but hidden within is a whirlpool of malice. Should the adventurers persist, he will move to ensnare them with Charming Melody, incapacitating them as they fold under the weight of his entrancing voice, or attempt to retreat into the mist, casting illusions and creating emotional turmoil to seed doubt among the adventurers.
His very essence is steeped in duality—charming yet deadly, supportive yet distrusting. A cunning deceiver, he embodies a constant dance of intrigue, finding ways to manipulate, ensnare, or flee, depending on how threats unfold. Engaging with Mirashaar promises a morose yet captivating blend of allure and danger, tempting adventurers into a game where the stakes go far beyond mere life and death.
