    desc: " ([[divine]], [[illusion]], [[visual]]);  An astradaemon bends light, appearing shifted from its true position, though still in the same space. Creatures targeting the astradaemon must attempt a DC 11 flat check, as if the astradaemon were [[hidden|hidden]], even though it remains [[observed|observed]]. s such as the Blind-Fight feat and halfling's keen eyes that apply on the flat check against [[hidden|hidden]] creatures also apply against a displaced astradaemon."

    desc: "⬻ ([[divine]], [[incapacitation]], [[necromancy]]); __Requirements__ The astradaemon hasn't used an action with the [[attack]] trait yet this turn.  __Effect__  The astradaemon draws out and consumes the soul of a living creature it has [[grabbed|grabbed]]. The creature must succeed at a DC 35 Fortitude save or instantly die. If it dies, the astradaemon gains 10 temporary Hit Points and a +2 status bonus to attack and damage rolls for 1 minute, or for 1 day if the victim was 15th level or higher.

  - name: "Essence Drain"
    desc: " ([[divine]], [[necromancy]], [[negative]]);  When an astradaemon hits with its claw, jaws, or tail, it drains the target's spiritual and vital essences. The target takes 1 (2d10) negative energy damage and the astradaemon regains an equal number of Hit Points. The target must succeed at a DC 37 Fortitude save or become [[doomed|doomed 1]] and [[drained|drained 1]]. If the target was already [[drained|drained]] or [[doomed|doomed]], it instead increases both conditions' value by 1, to a maximum of 4."
