abilities_mid:
  - name: "Death-Stealing Gaze"
    desc: " ([[aura]], [[divine]], [[necromancy]], [[visual]]);  30 feet. When a non-demon ends its turn in the aura, it must attempt a DC 38 Fortitude save. If it fails, it becomes [[drained|drained 1]]."
abilities_bot:
  - name: "Black Flame Knives"
    desc: "  A vrolikai can manifest a dagger-shaped blade of what looks like crystallized black flame in each of their four hands. These weapons function as +2 greater striking daggers, although they fade away into nothingness 1 minute after a vrolikai no longer carries them."
  - name: "Consume Death"
    desc: "⬻ ([[concentrate]], [[divine]], [[necromancy]], [[visual]]);  The vrolikai focuses their death-stealing gaze upon a single target they can see within 30 feet. The target must immediately attempt a Fortitude save against death-stealing gaze.\n__Success__ The creature is unaffected.\n__Failure__ The creature is affected by deathstealing gaze and becomes [[drained|drained 1]]. If the creature was already [[drained|drained 1]] by the death-stealing gaze before attempting the save, a failed save increases the value of the [[drained]] condition by 1, to a maximum of [[drained|drained 4]]. The vrolikai gains 10 temporary Hit Points, and the [[drained]] creature is temporarily immune until the start of the vrolikai's next turn.\n__Critical Failure__ As failure, but the creature increases the amount of drain by 2."
  - name: "Focused Flames"
    desc: "⬺  The vrolikai attacks a single target with all of its black flame knives. The demon makes a black flame knife [[Strike]]. On a successful attack, the vrolikai deals the damage from a black flame knife [[Strike]] to the target, plus an additional 2d6 (2d6) negative damage for every black flame knife they wield beyond the first (typically 6d6 (6d6) extra damage). Even on a failed attack, the vrolikai deals the damage from one black flame knife to the target, though they still miss completely on a critical failure. On a critical hit, the victim becomes [[drained|drained 2]] as the focused attack drains pure life essence as well as damage. This counts toward the vrolikai's multiple attack penalty as a number of attacks equal to the number of black flame knives the demon wields."
  - name: "Mindwarping"
    desc: " ([[emotion]], [[enchantment]], [[mental]]);  The sting of a vrolikai is mind-warping. A creature struck must attempt a DC 44 Will save.\n__Critical Success__ The creature is unaffected.\n__Success__ The creature becomes [[stupefied|stupefied 1]] for 1 minute.\n__Failure__ The creature becomes [[stupefied|stupefied 1]]. Further failed saves against mindwarping increase the condition value by 1, to a maximum of [[stupefied|stupefied 4]].\n__Critical Failure__ As failure, but the creature also becomes [[confused]] for 1 minute."
  - name: "Stolen Death"
    desc: "  A creature that dies while suffering drain from a nabasu's death-stealing gaze rises as a ghoul (Pathfinder Bestiary 168) the next midnight."
