Cogitation Breath ◆◆ (mental, occult) The dragon unleashes a befuddling miasma, dealing 15d6 mental damage in a 50-foot cone (DC 37 basic Will save). A creature that fails its save is Stupefied 1 (Stupefied 2 on a critical failure) for 1 minute. The dragon can't use Cogitation Breath again for 1d4 rounds.
Draconic Frenzy ◆◆ The dragon makes two claw Strikes and one tail Strike in any order.
Draconic Momentum The dragon recharges their Cogitation Breath whenever they score a critical hit with a Strike.
Steal Knowledge ◆ (concentrate, mental, occult) The dragon plucks a fragment of knowledge from the mind of a creature within 60 feet, choosing a skill to affect. The creature must attempt a DC 35 Will save.

Failure For the next minute, the creature takes a –1 status penalty to checks using that skill, and the dragon gets a +1 status bonus to using that skill.

Thought Whispers ◆◆ (mental, occult) Frequency once per minute
Effect The dragon sends their mind out to seek others' thoughts, affecting all creatures within 60 feet with Mind Reading (DC 37 Will).
Unveil Secret ◆◆ (fear, mental, occult) The dragon delves into the mind of a creature within 60 feet to scour for secrets, learning something the creature would find embarrassing or shameful unless they succeed a DC 37 Will save. The target becomes Frightened 1 and can't reduce their frightened condition for 1 minute or until the dragon reveals the secret. As a reaction when the affected creature attempts a check, the dragon can reveal their secret to discomfit them, requiring them to roll twice and take the lower result; this is a misfortune effect.
