Psychic Whip.Tasha psychically lashes out at one creature she can see within 90 feet of herself. The target must make a 20 Intelligence saving throw. On a failed save, the target takes 21 (6d6) psychic damage and has the stunned condition until the start of Tasha's next turn. On a successful save, the target takes half as much damage only.
Reactions.Reactions the creature can take:
Arcane Rebuff.Immediately after Tasha takes damage, she unleashes arcane energy in a 10-foot-radius sphere centered on herself. All other creatures in that area must make a 20 Dexterity saving throw, taking 19 (3d12) lightning damage on a failed save or half as much damage on a successful one. Tasha then teleports, along with any equipment she is wearing or carrying, to an unoccupied space she can see within 60 feet of herself.

Tasha the Witch

Tasha's path to greatness began when she was adopted by the arch-hag Baba Yaga, who named her Natasha. Tasha went on to create various spells, including Tasha's Hideous Laughter, and her magic-fueled ambitions brought her into contact with demons and demon lords, which she subjugated and used against her enemies. On the Material Plane, she became known as Iggwilv the Witch Queen and wrote the Demonomicon of Iggwilv, the greatest of all treatises on the Abyss and its demonic inhabitants. In recent years, Tasha sequestered herself in the Feywild, achieving incredible power and slowly turning into a Fey creature. Tasha became Zybilna, archfey of the domain of Prismeer.

Answering the Summons

When Zybilna received Alustriel Silverhand's summons to combat Vecna, the archfey was sorely needed in Prismeer. As a compromise, and to honor Tasha's friendship with Alustriel, Zybilna sent a version of herself from the past to Alustriel's side. The Tasha who appears in Vecna: Eve of Ruin is a powerful wizard, though she is not yet a witch queen or an archfey.
