Level 11Attacks
Abilities
Trigger An enemy hits the kizidhar shuyookh with a melee Strike
Requirements The kizidhar shuyookh doesn't have a shield raised
Effect The shuyookh can use Sculpt Wood to create a duskwood shield if they don't already have one. The shuyookh then Raises their Shield. The circumstance bonus from the shield applies to their AC against the triggering attack.
The kizidhar transforms into a Small or Medium wood elemental or plant creature. This doesn't affect the kizidhar's statistics, but it could change the damage type of their Strikes.
Frequency three times per year
Effect The shuyookh conducts a wish ritual for the benefit of a mortal, requiring no cost or secondary casters. The shuyookh's result is a success if they succeed at a DC 5 flat or a failure if not. The shuyookh attempts to advance their own interests along with those of any beneficiaries from the wish.
The genie ignores difficult terrain from plants, and can share their space with larger plants, such as trees.
The kizidhar creates a wooden item out of their body that appears in their hand and remains attached. The item can be a one-handed simple weapon, shield, or object of light Bulk. A kizidhar can instead use this ability to transform an item it's already holding or to remove an object to free its hand. Any item created with Sculpt Wood crumbles to splinters if removed from the kizidhar's possession.
Frequency once per round;
Effect The kizidhar plants a desire for greatness in the mind of a creature within 50 feet. The target must attempt a DC 30 will save. On a failure, until the end of its next turn, the target can't Delay, Ready, or use reactions. Instead, it must use all its actions to Strike or cast the highest rank of spell available to it using spell slots or Focus Points, or take actions to facilitate doing so, such as drawing a weapon or moving toward an enemy.

Kizidhar shuyookhs are the powerful rulers of the Glowing Infinity on the Plane of Wood. They view other genies, including other kizidhars, as subservient to their own greatness, manipulating them as though they were outsiders whenever it helps achieve their goals. Kizidhar shuyookh diplomats are sent as emissaries from the Plane of Wood to the Universe, representing the metropolis of Nodollin and Grand Sultana Eshal Muazzam Rayadii of the Glowing Infinity, Lady of All that Grows and Decays.
The genies of the Plane of Wood, known as the kizidhars, are overbearing lords of their element. These master crafters of wood specialize in carpentry and all kinds of woodcarving, and they take a particular delight in reshaping the world in their own image—either through creating wooden statues of themselves or by manipulating and controlling the living things around them. Though they're able to carve themselves similarly, they usually regard their own forms as perfect.
Shunning the company of other genies, they prefer to avoid those equal in power and instead surround themselves with circles of sycophants and flatterers. With the pathways to the Universe open again for the first time in ages, kizidhars roam the multiverse to find mortals they can tempt into joining their palace retinues as servants, entertainers, and valuable sources of new information.
