Description

[edit | edit source]

"Abra... has bright-green eyes, and her bronze scales are tinged with aquamarine blue. She typically wears a patchwork robe."[1]

Personality

[edit | edit source]

She is "crusty and irascible."[1][note 2]

Abilities

[edit | edit source]

Though she is not given specific class levels, Abra is instead listed as an "archmage" which is given a statblock and referred to as an "18th-level spellcaster" in the Basic Rules (2014), and has "wizard spells prepared".[4] In the Monster Manual (2024) the archmage is specifically called a wizard.[5] She can cast level 9 spells, which equates to at least a 17th-level wizard.[6]

Activities

[edit | edit source]

During business hours, Abra is most frequently found at her "high"[1][2] and "impressive"[3] desk which sits on a large, raised platform[1][2][3] made of marble[3] inside the entrance in the main hall.[1]
