Combat sequence

Layered on top of the module's own combat AI, which still picks targets and positioning. The fight below moves through real hit-point-gated phases; every save DC and attack bonus computes from the stat block above at runtime.

I

Binding Sigils

Planted once, at combat's start

Three points fixed in a ring the instant the fight begins spring their negative charge on the first foe careless enough to stand near one.

II

The Full Archmage's Book

Every round

Decades of study, cast without hesitation - his spellbook runs the deepest in the whole bestiary.

III

Grave Writ

Once, below 25% hp

A negative-level mark on whoever's weakest, then a retreat back to the nearest sigil and a regeneration that doesn't quit.

Why these numbers

CR 30 is set against Cathedral Level 3's own real ambient ceiling, not auto-computed from level alone - a genuine Wizard 30 build at 30 total levels.

Hit points (252) follow this project's own average-hit-dice convention, and every save/attack bonus derives from the ability scores above at runtime - nothing here is hardcoded past the phase gates themselves.

How it's wired

Boss-flagged (bypasses the drop-rate roll, two loot-generation passes) and gated to a single spawn - only one Malchor Greywane is ever up in Cathedral Level 3 at a time.
