Devil’s Sight. Magical darkness doesn’t impede the imp’s darkvision.

Magic Resistance. The imp has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.

Spellcasting. The imp uses Divinity (cha) to cast spells (spell save Difficulty 12, +3 to hit with spell attacks). It has 2 mana, a mana limit of 1, regains all expended mana when it finishes a long rest, and regains half its total mana when it finishes a short rest. It knows the following spells:

At will: invisibility

1 mana: fiery rebuke, pyrotechnics, scorching bolts

Actions (1)

Sting (Bite in Animal Form). Melee Weapon Attack: −1 to hit. Hit: 1 piercing damage plus 7 (2d6) poison damage.

Change Shape (1/turn). The imp can polymorph into an animal form that resembles a rat (speed 4 m., climb 2 m.), a raven (speed 2 m., fly 10 m.), or a spider (4 m., climb 4 m.), or back into its true form. Its statistics are the same in each form, except for the speed changes noted. Any equipment it is wearing or carrying isn’t transformed. It reverts to its true form if it dies.

Spells

As a reaction, which you use when you are hit by an attack or missed by 4 or less, wispy flames wreath your body, shedding bright light in a 2-meter radius and dim light for an additional 2 meters. If the creature who damaged you is within 10 meters, it must make a Fortitude saving throw.

On a failure, it takes 2d8 fire damage and is burning 2.

On a critical failure, it takes twice as much damage and is burning 4.

On a success, it takes half as much damage and is burning 1.

On a critical success, it takes no damage.

Augment

You can increase the damage by 2d8 and the burning level by 2 for each additional mana expended.

concentration, 1 minute/mana

As an action, you become invisible for the duration. Anything you are wearing or carrying is invisible as long as it is on your person. The spell ends if you attack, throw a concoction, use a maneuver, or cast a spell.

Augment
You can augment this spell with the following options, expending mana for each option.
  • Shared Invisibility. You can target two additional creatures or objects for each additional mana expended. The creatures and objects must be within 5 meters of each other when you target them.

  • Continued Invisibility. You can expend 1 additional mana to change the duration to 1 hour/mana.

  • Mislead. You can expend 1 additional mana to create an illusory double of yourself where you are standing when you turn invisible.

    You can use an action to move your illusory double up to twice your speed and make it gesture, speak, and behave in whatever way you choose.

    You can see through its eyes and hear through its ears as if you were located where it is. On each of your turns as an action, you can switch from using its senses to using your own, or back again. While you are using its senses, you are blinded and deafened in regard to your own surroundings.

  • Misty Escape. You can expend 1 additional mana to cast the spell as a reaction, which you use when you are hit by an attack or missed by 4 or less. Change the duration to instantaneous. You can turn invisible and teleport up to 10 meters to an unoccupied space you can see. You halve the attack’s damage against you. You remain invisible until the start of your next turn or until you attack or cast a spell.

  • Greater Invisibility. You can expend 3 additional mana so the spell does not end for a target that attacks, throws a concoction, uses a maneuver, or casts a spell.

As an action, choose an area of nonmagical flame that you can see and that fits within a 1-meter cube within 10 meters. You can extinguish the fire in that area, and you create either fireworks or smoke when you do so. If a burning creature is in cube, the burning condition ends for it.

Fireworks. The target explodes with a dazzling display of colors. Each creature in a sphere twice as big as normal centered on that point must make a Fortitude saving throw.

On a failure, it is blinded and deafened until the end of your next turn.

Smoke. Thick black smoke spreads out from the target in a sphere twice as big as normal, moving around corners. The area of the smoke is heavily obscured. The smoke persists for 1 minute or until a strong wind (at least 30 kilometers per hour) disperses it.

Augment

You can increase the smoke’s radius by 2 meters for each additional mana expended.

As an action, you hurl two bolts of fire at two different creatures or objects within 20 meters. Make a ranged spell attack for each bolt.

On a hit, it takes 2d6 fire damage and is burning 2.

On a critical hit, it takes twice as much damage and is burning 4.

On a miss by 4 or less, it takes half as much damage and is burning 1.

Augment

You can create one additional bolt that targets any creature within range for each additional mana expended.
