Cosmic Explosion [two-actions] The soul swarm unleashes a blast of burning sunlight or moonlight, dealing 4d8+6 fire damage to creatures in a 10-foot burst within 20 feet (DC 28 basic Reflex save). When the soul swarm is reduced to 8 or fewer squares, this decreases to a 5-foot burst.Form Up [one-action] Soul Grasp [one-action] to [three-actions] Frequency once per round; Effect The soul swarm reaches out and tries to tear at the spiritual energy of enemies within 5 feet (DC 30 basic Reflex save). The soul swarm can choose to deal slashing damage as it cuts away at a creature, fire damage as it burns other souls away, or negative damage as it attempts to unmake a soul. The damage depends on the number of actions.
[one-action] 2d6+1 damage
[two-actions] 4d6+11 damage
[three-actions] 6d6+11 damageTroop Movement Whenever the soul swarm Strides, the soul swarm first Forms Up as a free action to condense into a 20-foot-by-20-foot area (minus any missing squares), then moves. This works just like a Gargantuan creature moving; for instance, if any square of the soul swarm enters difficult terrain, the extra movement cost applies to the whole soul swarm.
