Spellcasting

The ramag portal master is a 7th-level spellcaster. Its spellcasting ability is Intelligence (spell save DC 15, +7 to hit with spell attacks). It has the following wizard spells prepared:

  • Cantrips (at will): fire bolt, light, prestidigitation, shocking grasp

Actions

Dimensional Seal

The ramag magically empowers its gate seal to dampen teleportation, planar gates, and portals within 60 feet of it. A creature that attempts to teleport while within or into the area must succeed on a DC 15 Charisma saving throw or the teleport fails. Spells and abilities that conjure creatures or objects automatically fail, and portals or gates are suppressed while they remain in the area. The seal lasts 1 hour, or until the ramag loses concentration on it as if concentrating on a spell.

Gate Seal

+5 to hit, reach 5 ft (1.5 m). Hit: 1d4+2 plus 4d6 force damage.

Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 4 (1d4 + 2) bludgeoning damage plus 14 (4d6) force damage.

Lightning Stroke

+7 to hit, range 120 ft (36.6 m). Hit: 4d6 lightning damage.

Ranged Spell Attack: +7 to hit, range 120 ft., one target. Hit: 14 (4d6) lightning damage. If the target is a creature, it can't take reactions until the start of the ramag's next turn.

Multiattack

The ramag portal master makes two lightning stroke attacks.

Weave Dimensions

The ramag creates two magical gateways in unoccupied spaces it can see within 100 feet of it. The gateways appear as shimmering, opaque ovals in the air. A creature that moves into one gateway appears at the other immediately. The gateways last for 1 minute, or until the ramag loses concentration on them as if concentrating on a spell.
