This aura emanates from any creature possessed by the seething spirit, and it's inactive while the spirit isn't possessing anyone. Any creature in the aura, including a creature possessed by the spirit, takes a –1 status penalty to AC, can't perform actions with the [concentrate](/Rules.aspx?ID=371) trait except for the [Seek](/Actions.aspx?ID=84) action and actions with the [rage](/Traits.aspx?ID=135) trait, and gains a +2 status bonus to melee damage rolls against the spirit's enemies.
A creature can attempt a DC 30 Will save when it enters the aura to avoid the effect. If the creature would need to attempt a save against the aura again within 24 hours, it automatically uses the same save result rather than attempting a new save.
**Vulnerable to Calm Emotions** A seething spirit can't attempt to possess a creature affected by [_calm emotions_](/Spells.aspx?ID=31). If creature possessed by a seething spirit fails a saving throw against _calm emotions_, the spirit is forced out. If the spirit isn't possessing a creature and is targeted with _calm emotions_, the spirit takes 12 mental damage per level of the spell instead of the normal spell effects.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n---\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n**Speed** fly 40 feet\r\n\r\n**Melee**\r\n\r\nephemeral claw +22 ([Evocation](/Traits.aspx?ID=65), [Occult](/Traits.aspx?ID=120)),\r\n**Damage** 3d12+7 slashing\r\n\r\n**Occult Innate Spells** DC 32\r\n- **2nd**\r\n[Invisibility](/Spells.aspx?ID=164) (at will; self-only), [Ventriloquism](/Spells.aspx?ID=356) (at will)\r\n- **3rd**\r\n[Mind Reading](/Spells.aspx?ID=194) (at will)\r\n- **6th**\r\n[Paranoia](/Spells.aspx?ID=214), [Remove Fear](/Spells.aspx?ID=252), [Suggestion](/Spells.aspx?ID=315) (×3)\r\n- **Constant (6th)**\r\n[Tongues](/Spells.aspx?ID=340)\r\n\r\n**Furious Possession** The seething spirit attempts to possess an adjacent corporeal creature.

The spirit can't Dismiss the possession.
The creature gains 12 temporary Hit Points that are lost when the possession ends. During the possession, the creature has the pulse of rage aura.

Directed Ire A seething spirit most dearly wants to find a host with a rage similar to their own. A spirit spawned from romantic resentment might gravitate toward a jilted lover, for example. The rage in the seething spirit is purely evil, so a spirit created from anger at persecution might seek out an innocent prisoner to turn into a murderer who'll sate the spirit's rage.
