Behavior & Notes

  • Attacks as flaming dive-bomber; ignites paper wings to create burning drafts and ash clouds.
  • Reborn when written about: narrative inscriptions or scrolls can trigger respawn—destroy or seal the “script” to end the loop.
  • Weak to water and wind disruption (tears its paper body, douses flame).
  • Narrative hook: librarians/scribes may accidentally respawn it; conversely, players could “rewrite” it into a temporary ally distraction.

Open questions / conflicts

  • Decide binding method: burning the script vs. editing the script; how many respawns allowed per encounter?
  • Clarify whether lore seals exist in Galport/Eddara archives to neutralize it.
