"name": "Ethereal Sight"
- "desc": "Agony 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."

\ (4d6 + 3) necrotic damage."
"name": "Withering Touch"
- "desc": "Agony enters the Ethereal Plane from the Material Plane, or vice versa.\
\ It is visible on the Material Plane while it is in the Border Ethereal, and\
\ vice versa, yet it can't affect or be affected by anything on the other plane."
"name": "Etherealness"
- "desc": "Each non-undead creature within 60 feet of Agony that can see it must succeed\
\ on a DC 13 Wisdom saving throw or be [frightened](3-Mechanics/CLI/rules/conditions.md#Frightened)\
\ for 1 minute. If the save fails by 5 or more, the target also ages 1d4 × 10\
\ years. A [frightened](3-Mechanics/CLI/rules/conditions.md#Frightened) target\
\ can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the [frightened](3-Mechanics/CLI/rules/conditions.md#Frightened)\
\ condition on itself on a success. If a target's saving throw is successful or\
\ the effect ends for it, the target is immune to this ghost's Horrifying Visage\
\ for the next 24 hours. The aging effect can be reversed with a [greater restoration](3-Mechanics/CLI/spells/greater-restoration-xphb.md)\
\ spell, but only within 24 hours of it occurring."
"name": "Horrifying Visage"
- "desc": "One humanoid that Agony can see within 5 feet of it must succeed on a DC\
\ 13 Charisma saving throw or be possessed by Agony; Agony then disappears, and\
\ the target is [incapacitated](3-Mechanics/CLI/rules/conditions.md#Incapacitated)\
\ and loses control of its body. Agony now controls the body but doesn't deprive\
\ the target of awareness. Agony can't be targeted by any attack, spell, or other\
\ effect, except ones that turn undead, and it retains its alignment, Intelligence,\
\ Wisdom, Charisma, and immunity to being [charmed](3-Mechanics/CLI/rules/conditions.md#Charmed)\
\ and [frightened](3-Mechanics/CLI/rules/conditions.md#Frightened). It otherwise\
\ uses the possessed target's statistics, but doesn't gain access to the target's\
\ knowledge, class features, or proficiencies.\n\nThe possession lasts until the\
\ body drops to 0 hit points, Agony ends it as a bonus action, or Agony is turned\
\ or forced out by an effect like the [dispel evil and good](3-Mechanics/CLI/spells/dispel-evil-and-good-xphb.md)\
\ spell. When the possession ends, Agony reappears in an unoccupied space within\
\ 5 feet of the body. The target is immune to this ghost's Possession for 24 hours\
\ after succeeding on the saving throw or after the possession ends."
