Fire flows through its veins and can be seen through the skin, and its eyes are hollow sockets filled with flame. \n'b'  Born of Magic . Magic and Woe are closely linked.

In combat, it focuses its attacks on spellcasters, even if this leaves it vulnerable to melee attackers. \n'b'  Undead Nature . An ashborn doesn\xe2\x80\x99t require air, food, drink, or sleep.'
