Focus Gaze [one-action] (arcane, concentrate, incapacitation, transmutation, visual) The medusa fixes their glare at a creature they can see within 30 feet. The target must immediately attempt a Fortitude save against the medusa's petrifying gaze. If the creature was already slowed by petrifying gaze before attempting its save, a failed save causes it to be petrified permanently. After attempting its save, the creature is then temporarily immune until the start of the medusa's next turn.Jabberwock Bloodline Phomandala's sorcerer bloodline is a result of Nyrissa's infusion of the medusa with jabberwock blood. This bloodline functions as the draconic bloodline, but the damage type caused is a line of sonic energy, and she uses the primal spell list instead of the arcane spell list.Phomandala's Venom (poison) Saving Throw DC 39 Fortitude; Maximum Duration 6 rounds; Stage 1 6d6 poison damage and enfeebled 1 (1 round); Stage 2 9d6 poison damage and enfeebled 2 (1 round)Quickened Casting [free-action] Frequency once per day; Effect When Phomandala's next action is to cast a spell that is 7th level or lower, she reduces the number of actions to cast it by 1 (minimum 1 action).Woodland Stride Even the thickest vines and roots seem to part as Phomandala moves about. Phomandala ignores difficult terrain caused by plants, such as bushes, vines, and undergrowth. Even plants manipulated by magic don't impede her progress.
