Chromatic Disk (3/Day). The spellweaver is constantly accompanied by a floating magical disk that stores spell energy. While holding this disk, the spellweaver can use a bonus action to recover an expended spell slot of any level it is able to cast. The chromatic disk remains within 1 foot of the spellweaver no matter how it moves or travels.
Magic Resistance. The spellweaver has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.
Shielded Mind. The spellweaver is immune to magic that allows other creatures to read its thoughts, determine whether it is lying, know its alignment, or know its creature type. A creature can telepathically communicate with the spellweaver only if the spellweaver allows it to.
Spellcasting. The spellweaver is a 9th-level spellcaster. Its spellcasting ability is Intelligence (spell save DC 16, +8 to hit with spell attacks). The spellweaver has the following wizard spells prepared:
Cantrips (at will): firebolt, light, mage hand, mending
1st level (4 slots): alarm, detect magic, identify, magic missile
2nd level (3 slots): alter self, blur, hold person, scorching ray
3rd level (3 slots): counterspell, dispel magic, major image
4th level (3 slots): greater invisibility, wall of fire
5th level (1 slots): cloudkill, scrying
Actions
Multiattack. The spellweaver makes two slam attacks.
Slam. Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 5 (1d4+3) bludgeoning damage.
Spell Weaving. The spellweaver casts a number of spells of 1st level or higher whose total spell level is no more than six, expending spell slots for each as normal. The spellweaver chooses the order in which these spells are cast. All of the spells are cast as part of one action. The spellweaver resolves each spell before deciding which spell to cast next.
These slender, mysterious creatures gather in small cabals, and are most commonly encountered while they search for magic items to add to their collection. However, solitary spellweavers are even more common. In groups, they plan and execute raids to steal magic items they desire, using scrying to scout out their foe, then attacking while invisible. They only communicate with each other telepathically, but sometimes they leave written notes behind for others to find. However, these notes are entirely incomprehensible, either gibberish or else nonsensical. Spellweavers stand around 5 feet tall and weigh around 120 pounds.
