Regenerating Aura of Cold. The cold shade is surrounded by a 10-foot radius of deathly chill. Any creatures within this area during the cold shade’s turn takes 5 ( 2d10 ) points of cold damage. All creatures with cold immunity within this area (including the cold shade) are healed instead. Blackfire. Whenever a cold shade damages a creature with an attack, the wound erupts with tongues of blackfire. The target gains 1 level of exhaustion and for the next 1 minute, the victim must make a CON saving throw at the start of its turn or take 10 ( 3d6 ) points of cold and necrotic damage. A creature cannot be affected by more than one instance of blackfire at a time. The winterwight gains the same number of temporary hit points each time the creature fails a saving throw against blackfire.
- The second time the affected creature fails the saving throw it is stunned as well as taking damage 10 ( 3d6 ) points of cold and necrotic damage.
- The third time the affected creature fails the saving throw it dies.
