| Special Abilities | Corpse SenseA corpselight can sense dead bodies within range. This is a precise sense that functions through solid barriers less than 5 feet thick. Sunlight Powerlessness A corpselight exposed to sunlight is stunned 2 and clumsy 2, and cannot Claim a Corpse. Wisp Form When a corpselight is reduced to 0 Hit Points while merged with a corpse, it is instead reduced to 1 Hit Point as the corpse collapses to the ground and the corpselight emerges in its wisp form. While in wisp form, a corpselight is Tiny and can take no actions other than Claim Corpse or Fly. A corpselight that starts its turn in wisp form must attempt a DC 16 flat check at the end of its turn; if it fails, it loses 1 Hit Point. A corpselight reduced to 0 Hit Points while in wisp form is destroyed. Claim Corpse (necromancy) Prerequisites The corpselight is in wisp form and is adjacent to a Medium or Small corpse that hasn't been claimed by a corpselight in the past 24 hours Effect The corpselight merges with the corpse, causes the corpse to Stand, and regains Hit Points .Death Light  (emotion, fear, mental, necromancy, occult) Prerequisites The corpselight is in a corpse; Effect The corpselight emits a sickly blue beam of light from its mouth and eyes in a 20-foot cone. All living creatures in this area must attempt a DC 18 Fortitude saving throw. If at least 1 creature fails its save, the corpselight regains Hit Points , gaining any that exceed its maximum as temporary Hit Points that last for 1 minute. The corpselight can't use Death Light again for rounds.
