Abilities
Iron Taviah adds Earthbind, Magic Passage, and Spellwrack to her coven's spells.

She can't replace a secondary caster who is the target of the spell (as in the Atone ritual).
When the characters meet Iron Taviah, the Graveclaw is at the height of its power. As a scattered coven, the Graveclaw grants Taviah the ability to cast the following spells as 3rd-rank occult spells, once per day each, without requiring help from her fellow coven members: Acid Arrow, Curse of Lost Time, Earthbind, Harm, Mimic Undead, Summon Construct, and Water Walk.
