Greater Darkvision

A creature with greater darkvision can see perfectly well in areas of darkness and dim light, though such vision is in black and white only. Some forms of magical darkness, such as a 4th-level Darkness spell, block normal Darkvision. A creature with greater darkvision, however, can see through even these forms of magical darkness.

Golden Sun (abjuration, aura, primal)

10 feet Aura A golden aura envelopes the sanzuwu, protecting them from weak magic. Any non-cold spells of 3rd level or lower burn away and are ineffective. A sanzuwu can deactivate or activate the golden aura as a free action with the concentrate trait.

Scorching Gaze (fire, evocation, primal)

Trigger A creature within 30 feet targets the sanzuwu or one of their allies with a weapon attack

---

Effect The sanzuwu focuses their gaze on the triggering creature's weapon, heating it to a burning temperature for an instant. The creature takes 4d8 fire damage unless the creature Releases the weapon as a free action.

Fiery Transformation (fire, concentrate, polymorph, primal, transmutation)

The sanzuwu transforms into an enormous bird made of flame. As the sanzuwu begins their transformation, creatures within a 10-foot emanation take 6d8 fire damage (DC 33 basic reflex save). While in their flame form, the sanzuwu gains the effects of 4th-level Enlarge. They can use Fiery Transformation again to revert back to their standard form.

Radiant Blast (fire, evocation, primal)

The sanzuwu opens their mouth to produce a bead of burning energy, hurling it a point within 200 feet. The bead detonates, dealing 7d8 fire damage and 4d10 sonic damage to all creatures in a 30-foot burst (DC 33 basic reflex save). Creatures that critically fail become Blinded for 1 round. The sanzuwu can't use Radiant Blast again for 1d4 rounds.

Scorch Earth

Requirements The sanzuwu is standing on the ground

---

Effect The sanzuwu Strides. A 6th-level Wall of Fire appears in all the spaces the sanzuwu left during this movement, lasting for 1 round. The sanzuwu can't use Scorch Earth again for 1d4 rounds.

Transfixing Sunbeam (evocation, incapacitation, light, primal)

Requirements The sanzuwu is in their fiery form

---

Effect The sanzuwu spreads their wings, emitting a bright cascade of light in a 30-foot cone. Creatures in the cone must attempt a DC 33 fortitude save.

Success The creature is unaffected.

Failure The creature is Stunned 1.

Critical Failure The creature is Stunned 2.

Those who feast on the sun are said to carry its power within them. Sanzuwus are small crows with red plumage and dark throats. According to legend, they stole their burning power from the sun and now fly across the sky as blinding streaks of fire. When they land on the earth, it ignites around them, causing unbound destruction. A handful of people worship these radiant birds and inscribe their three-legged visage on coins, items, and weapons.
