Center of Destiny ⟲ (teleportation) Trigger A creature within 30 feet benefits from a fortune effect

Effect Shadows surround and steal away the destiny tempest, who reappears in an open space adjacent to the triggering creature.

Ebbing Cloud (aura, mental, occult) 15 feet. Destiny tempests surround themselves with thoughts of averted fates, creating a thick metaphysical soup that cloys the mind and clouds ambition. Creatures in the area moving toward the destiny tempest treat the area as difficult terrain.

No Breath Destiny tempests do not need to breathe.

Unspeakable Insights (mental, occult) Touching a destiny tempest's mind even briefly grants a powerful and painful awareness of uncharted pasts, presents, and futures, too impossibly vast for mortal minds to conceptualize or contain. Whenever a creature targets the destiny tempest with a magical mental effect, it must attempt a DC 33 Will save.
