Siphon Spell

Azalin casts Counterspell in response to the spell's trigger, using the same spellcasting ability as Spellcasting.

Regional effects

Darkon is altered by Azalin's presence, creating the following effects:

• Closing the Borders: While in his domain, Azalin can close or open the borders to Darkon at will. While the borders are closed, undead terrors fill the Mists surrounding Darkon. Whenever a creature enters the Mists, one Hostile Zombie Clot appears in a random unoccupied space within 30 feet of that creature.
• Lord of the Dead: While in his domain, Azalin can cast Clairvoyance, requiring no spell components and using the same spellcasting ability as his Spellcasting action. When Azalin casts this spell in this way, he can place the sensor in any Undead in Darkon with an Intelligence of 6 or less, even if it is beyond 1 mile of Azalin. In addition, Azalin can speak through the Undead he placed the sensor in.
• No Secrets: Whenever a creature in Darkon casts a spell using a level 5+ spell slot, Azalin becomes aware of that creature's name and location. A Nondetection spell blocks this effect.

If Azalin dies, these effects end immediately.
