Paradoxical Existence
Description: Nehvaris cannot be erased or denied, for he exists outside the chain of causality. He is unaffected by time, and events tied to creation or destruction cannot alter his form.
Effects: Immune to effects that require an origin or source, including time travel paradoxes, divine creation, and any force attempting to rewrite history.
Veilwalk
Description: Moves effortlessly between planes, between the realm of the living, the dead, and those in between.
Effects: Nehvaris is undetectable by magic unless the caster is marked by death or is near death themselves.
Death-Sense
Description: Instinctively senses the moment of death approaching every living being. Can alter the course of death slightly, but never prevent it.
Effects: A spectral clock appears above every living being, counting down to their potential end.
Memoriam Absorption
Description: Each soul Nehvaris guides grants him their full memories, knowledge, and experiences. This increases his power and strengthens his soul.
Effects: All attributes (Strength, Dexterity, Constitution, Intelligence, Wisdom, Charisma) increase based on the souls he has absorbed.
Ethereal Shepherd
Description: Commands and protects the souls of those who have not yet moved on, ensuring they cannot be corrupted or enslaved.
Effects: Souls within his presence cannot be consumed, altered, or corrupted by outside forces. They are protected until they are ready to pass into the next phase.
Presence of the End
Description: Any undead, cursed, or death-tied entity that encounters Nehvaris will experience an existential dread that freezes them in place.
Effects: Enemies must make a DC 25 Wisdom saving throw to avoid being paralyzed by dread. The fear can be resisted only if the entity has mastery over death or is unbound from it.
Soul-Thread Manipulation
Description: Nehvaris can untangle and manipulate the soul-threads of any living being or spirit. He can delay death, redirect fate, or sever the threads that bind souls to corruption.
Effects: Nehvaris cannot bring back the dead, but he can offer temporary respite to the dying or guide them to a better fate.
Eclipsed Memory Surge
Description: When in the presence of multiple souls, Nehvaris can unleash a psychic burst of their combined experiences, flooding enemies with knowledge, regret, and emotion.
Effects: Enemies are overwhelmed with an onslaught of memories that cause them to stagger, lose focus, or even lose control over their own actions.
