illumination provided by fire cannot attack and can take only a
single move or attack action in a round.

Turn Resistance. The shadow wight has advantage on saving
throws against any effect that turns undead.
Actions
Despairing Visage. The shadow wight targets one creature it can
see within 30 feet of it. If the target can see the shadow wight, the
target must succeed on a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw or be
frightened until the end of its next turn.
Obliviating Touch. Melee Spell Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one
creature. Hit: 6 (1d8 + 2) necrotic damage. The target must
succeed at a DC 10 Constitution saving throw or its hit point
maximum is reduced by an amount equal to the damage taken.
This reduction lasts until the creature finishes a long rest. The
target vanishes if this effect reduces its hit point maximum to 0,
leaving only his clothing and possessions. All memory of him
similarly vanishes from the minds of those who knew of or met
him, as if he had never existed. He may not be raised, resurrected,
or otherwise restored, even with a wish.
Despite
describe shadow wights as simply being nothing holes in
the fabric of reality. Because of this unreal nature, despite
their size, shadow wights weigh nothing at all.
Though shadow wights are commonly thought of as
merciless destroyers, in the decades since the Chaos War,
scholars have realized that mercilessly nullifying all creatures
from existence does not fully satisfy the creatures. Indeed, this
evolution was likely one that not even Chaos himself could
have predicted. Many shadow wights will use their touch to
deal hit point damage and intentionally keep from reducing
their victims to a score of 0. Victims who are not fully nullified
often lose memories as a result of the hit point damage dealt
by Reports from those who barely
escaped say that shadow wights on the islands of Enstar and
Nostar keep residents in certain towns in a manner befitting

the shadow wight with the medallion. A successful attack deals

doubled. The medallion of faith is destroyed in the process.
Sword knights, Skull knights, and other characters with clerical

attack.

souls of once-living beings, it is possible to

as a slay living spell on the creature, either killing it or dealing
damage.
