Special Traits

• Book Haunt. An inaed inhabiting a book or other object is entirely impervious to nonmagical melee attacks. The book absorbs the damage instead. If the book is destroyed, the inaed appears in an unoccupied space within 5 feet and immediately attempts to enter the nearest book. Entering a book takes 1d4 rounds. During this time, the creature is visible but still incorporeal. Books that have been freed of any inaed and books that have been sanctified by a cleric are immune to infestation.
• Incorporeal Movement. The inaed can move through other creatures and objects as if they were difficult terrain. It takes 5 (1d10) force damage if it ends its turn inside an object that is not a book.
• Innate Spellcasting. The inaed’s spellcasting ability is Charisma (spell save DC 14, +6 to hit with spell attacks). The inaed can innately cast the following spells 2/day each, requiring no material components:
  • major image, sleep, suggestion.
• Magic Resistance. The inaed has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.

Actions

• Invisibility. The inaed magically becomes invisible until it casts a spell or begins entering a book.
