Artifact — Nyxara's Umbral Cinder
Recovered from Nyxara Duskflame. Resref ot8_nyx_art.

Combat signature

Every third round her breath ALTERNATES damage type - fire, then negative energy - with a different debuff per type, the first cycling breath weapon in this bestiary. On round six, a real epic Dragon Knight.

D&D build

Monstrous levels (natural Hit Dice) + PRC Dragonfire Adept 10; boss flags BOSS, CLEAR, LOOPS, TYPE 26, USED 0, and R13_UNIQUE. The Epic Dragon Knight capstone is delivered by the dedicated round hook after the visual telegraph, exactly like every real Epic Spell in this bestiary since round 1.

Caller and encounter

One blueprint only. The Bestiary Caller uses the normal BC_Spawn contract, while the reserved Sparky case maintains a 12% always-on, count-one encounter definition, capped at one live spawn per area.
