Traits

Incorporeal Movement.The spirit can move through other creatures and objects as if they were difficult terrain. The spirit takes 5 (1d10) force damage if it ends its turn inside an object.

Legendary Resistance (3/Day).If the spirit fails a saving throw, it can choose to succeed instead.

Actions

Multiattack.The spirit makes two Lightning Fist or Hailstone attacks in any combination.

Lightning Fist.mw 12 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. ({@damage 4d8 + 7) lightning damage.

Hailstone.rw 12 to hit, range 90/180 ft., one target. ({@damage 3d6 + 7) bludgeoning damage plus 7 (2d6) cold damage.

Death Bolt 5.The spirit hurls a magical lightning bolt in a 120-foot line that is 10 feet wide. Each creature in that area must make a 18 Dexterity saving throw, taking 27 (6d8) lightning damage plus 16 (3d10) necrotic damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. On a success or failure, an affected creature's hit point maximum is reduced by an amount equal to the necrotic damage taken. This reduction lasts until the creature finishes a long rest. The creature dies if its hit point maximum is reduced to 0.

Tempest Spirit

A storm giant can escape death through a mystical ritual that transforms the giant into a semiconscious storm. However, if the giant performs the ritual in a place where the barrier between the Material Plane and the Shadowfell is thin, the seeping negative energy drastically alters the ritual's outcome. The giant's soul becomes infused with negative energy and doesn't disperse into the elements. Rather, it absorbs the elemental energy around it, and its lower body becomes a storm cloud. The resulting tempest spirit is similar in appearance to a djinni and is sometimes mistaken for one by adventurers.

Some tempest spirits cannot accept their new form and seek to undo the transformation in solitude. Others are overcome with rage and hew a path of destruction. Massive hailstones and lightning infused with necrotic energy rain from tempest spirits on those that get too close to them.
