Breath Weapon (divine, evocation) Bafela's manifestation breathes a blast of dragonstorm energy that deals 5d6 acid, 5d6 cold, 5d6 electricity, 5d6 fire, and 5d6 poison damage in a 60-foot cone (DC 46 basic Reflex save). It can't use Breath Weapon again for 1d4 rounds.
Draconic Frenzy The dragon makes two claw Strikes and one wing Strike in any order.
Draconic Momentum The dragon recharges its Breath Weapon whenever it scores a critical hit with a Strike.
Manipulate Energy (concentrate, divine, transmutation) The manifestation attempts to take control of a magical acid, cold, electricity, fire, or poison spell within 100 feet. If it succeeds at a counteract check (counteract level 10, counteract modifier +36), the original caster loses control of the spell, control is transferred to the manifestation, and the manifestation counts as having Sustained the Spell with this action (if applicable). The manifestation can end the spell instead of taking control, if it chooses.
