"name": "Unreadable Face" - "desc": "The pseudamma died while carrying out an act of vengeance on her cheating husband: killing the children they had together. In her undeath, she carries out this action at most once per day. She targets a pair of human children who fail on a DC 15 Wisdom (Persuasion) saving throw. She leads them into the Tartyx River, where they drown. Exposure to the Tartyx's waters causes the children to become **Returned children**. Out of pity for the children, she gifts each with a Returned mask."

"name": "Knife" - "desc": "The pseudamma sings a magical melody. Every human under the age of 18 within 300 feet of the pseudamma that can hear the song must succeed on a DC 12 Wisdom saving throw or be [charmed](../../../Compendium/rules/conditions#charmed) until the song ends. The pseudamma must take a bonus action on its subsequent turns to continue singing. It can stop singing at any time. The song ends if the pseudamma is [incapacitated](../../../Compendium/rules/conditions#incapacitated). While [charmed](../../../Compendium/rules/conditions#charmed) by the pseudamma, a target is [incapacitated](../../../Compendium/rules/conditions#incapacitated) and ignores all other sounds. If the [charmed](../../../Compendium/rules/conditions#charmed) target is more than 5 ft. away from the pseudamma, the target must move on its turn toward the pseudamma by the most direct route. It doesn't avoid opportunity attacks, but before moving into damaging terrain, such as lava or a pit, and whenever it takes damage from a source other than the pseudamma, a target can repeat the saving throw. A creature can also repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns. If a creature's saving throw is successful, the effect ends on it. A target that successfully saves is immune to this pseudamma's song for the next 24 hours." "name": "Luring Song" - "desc": "The pseudamma holds the hand of a target within reach that it has [charmed](../../../Compendium/rules/conditions#charmed).
