Ash Consumption (Su) When a creature within 30 feet takes fire damage, a pyric wraith regains a number of Hit Points equal to the damage the creature took, up to a maximum equal to the wraith’s CR per round. |
Illuminated (Su) Light within 10 feet of a pyric wraith increases by two steps. Light for 10 more feet beyond that increases by one step. Magical darkness decreases this light only if from a source with a CR or level higher than the wraith’s CR. |
Pyric Fire (Su) The fire damage of a pyric wraith burns body and spirit, ignoring fire resistance and dealing half damage even to creatures with fire immunity.

Aklo A pyric wraith speaks Aklo and might retain one or more languages spoken in life. |
Over centuries, pyric fire consumes a pyric revenant’s flesh, leaving behind an apparition of ash and embers. This pyric wraith is made of swirling cinders rippling around a heart of brighter flame. The smell of ash and smoke often precedes a pyric wraith.
A pyric wraith retains only a desire to burn living things and consume the energy released. These beings rarely make full use of their incorporeality. Overwhelming malice compels them to kill without stealth, inspiring horror as they do so. Further, pyric wraiths hate passing through the darkness within objects.
