Owb Prophet
An owb who comes into contact and is chosen by one of the Forsaken gains a fragment of that demigod's power and forges a permanent connection with them. This act transforms the owb into a larger, more powerful creature and imbues them with the power of divine transference, allowing the owb to gain followers and grant spells. These are owb prophets.Owb prophets possess some portion of their Forsaken's power, but they must use this authority to gain more sway over calignis and other worshippers.

The creature must attempt a DC 30 Fortitude save. On a failure, the creature gains light blindness, and its coloration turns to washed out shades of gray, along with all equipment it carries, wields, or wears.

Owb
Source Monster Core 2 pg. 246These ancient denizens of the Netherworld appear as grayish humanoid torsos covered in translucent funereal veils of shadow. Silent and mysterious, they float about, absent of legs to hold them aloft. Never speaking a word aloud, they instead reach into the minds of nearby creatures to whisper curses, threats, and strange bits of forlorn augury.
These haunting creatures are revered by calignis as proxies of the Forsaken—a strange array of ancestor-like demigods whom many calignis worship. Some even believe owbs are the Forsaken manifested, and that they are able to subtly manipulate creatures on the Netherworld without leaving behind any indication.
A multitude of owbs visit and even remain to advise caligni communities, as varied in personality as the Forsaken. All owbs share a hatred of light and color, except for the flickering glow of the burning cold magic they can hurl as a weapon. Owbs who live among calignis tend to prohibit the use of light and color, using their curse of darkness to quench violators if necessary. The only other similarity across all owbs is their entrenched desire to manipulate their charges through mind-reading and deception, though such manipulation can be either subtle or overt.
