Attack of Opportunity [reaction] Construct Armor Like normal objects, the living sun-spire has Hardness. This Hardness reduces any damage the sun-spire takes by an amount equal to the Hardness. Once a sun-spire is reduced to fewer than half its Hit Points, or immediately upon being damaged by a critical hit, its construct armor breaks, removing the Hardness and reducing its Armor Class to 32.Steal the Sun [reaction] (divine, evocation) Trigger A creature within 30 feet of the sun-spire begins to Cast a Spell that has the fire or light trait; Effect The sun-spire attempts to redirect the energy from the triggering effect into its sunlight stores. The sun-spire attempts to counteract the triggering spell with a +22 counteract bonus. If it successfully counteracts the spell, the sun-spire's sunlight stores are empowered. While empowered, the sun-spire deals an additional 2d8 fire damage with all of its attacks and abilities. The sun-spire remains empowered until the end of its next turn.

It fires the beam in a 120-foot line, dealing 11d8 fire damage to all creatures in the line (DC 35 basic Reflex save). The concentrated beam ignites everything in its path, including the air, creating a wall of burning flame along the line that continues to burn until the end of the sun-spire's next turn. This wall has the effects of a 5th-level wall of fire spell, dealing 5d6 fire damage to any creature that crosses the wall or occupies the wall's area at the start of its turn. The sun-spire can't use the Beam of the Seven Suns again for 1d4 rounds, although rounds it's not in sunlight don't count toward this number.Trample [three-actions] Large or smaller, arm, DC 35
