  - name: "Extra Reaction"
    desc: "  The dragon gains 2 reactions at the start of each of their turns."
  - name: "Frightful Presence"
    desc: " ([[aura]], [[emotion]], [[fear]], [[mental]]);  90 feet, DC 37."
  - name: "Scintillating Aura"
    desc: "⬲ ([[aura]], [[evocation]], [[incapacitation]], [[primal]], [[visual]]);  30 feet. A swirling vortex of reflected color and light shimmers around the crystal dragon. Creatures in this aura's emanation are [[dazzled]]. Each creature that ends its turn in the emanation must succeed at a DC 34 Will saving throw or be [[stunned|stunned 1]] (or [[stunned|stunned 3]] on a critical failure). Once a creature succeeds at this save, it is temporarily immune to the stunning effect for 1 minute. The crystal dragon can turn this aura on or off using a single action, which has the [[concentrate]] trait, and it can choose not to affect allies. Reflect Spell Trigger The crystal dragon is targeted by a ranged spell attack roll; The crystal dragon adjusts a wing to try to reflect the spell and gains a +4 circumstance bonus to AC against the triggering attack. If the attack misses, the spell is reflected back at the caster, who must roll a second ranged spell attack roll against their own AC to determine if the spell hits them instead."
  - name: "Twisting Tail"
    desc: "⬲ __Trigger__ A creature within reach of the dragon's tail uses a move action or leaves a square during a move action it's using __Effect__  The dragon makes a tail [[Strike]] at the creature with a –2 penalty. If it hits, the dragon disrupts the creature's action."

  - name: "Crystallize Flesh"
    desc: "⭓ ([[primal]], [[transmutation]]); __Frequency__ once per day __Trigger__ The crystal dragon damages a creature made of flesh with a jaws [[Strike]] __Effect__  The dragon embeds transformative crystals in the creature's flesh. The creature must attempt a DC 37 Fortitude save.\n__Critical Success__ The target is unaffected.\n__Success__ The target is [[slowed|slowed 1]] for 1 round as portions of its flesh turn crystalline.\n__Failure__ The target is [[slowed|slowed 1]] and must attempt a Fortitude save at the end of each of its turns; this ongoing save has the [[incapacitation]] trait. On a failed save, the [[slowed|slowed 1]] condition value increases by 1 (or by 2 on a critical failure). A successful save reduces the [[slowed|slowed 1]] condition value by 1. A creature unable to act due to the [[slowed|slowed 1]] condition from Crystallize Flesh is [[petrified]] permanently, transforming into a crystalline statue. The effect ends if the creature is [[petrified]] or the [[slowed|slowed 1]] condition is removed.\n__Critical Failure__ As failure, but the target is initially [[Slowed 1|Slowed 2]]."
