Special Abilities

Inner Light (Su)
 A lambent alicorn glows with an inner light, providing dim illumination within up to 20 feet. The alicorn can diminish the glow, reducing the illuminated area, but it always retains at least a spark of light inside its crystal body, giving it a –10 penalty to Stealth checks in darkness as long as vision is involved.

Lambent Lance (Su) A lambent alicorn can produce a blast of coruscating light as a standard action, affecting either a 10-ft. cone, 15-ft. line, or a single target within 30 feet. Creatures exposed to lambent lance either take 1d4+1 points of damage, become blinded for 1 round, or sickened, as decided by the lambent alicorn on an individual basis. A successful Will saving throw (DC 12) negates the effect. This is a magical light effect with equivalent spell level equal to half the alicorn's HD for purpose of penetrating magical darkness, though it can never end the darkness effect. The saving throw DC is Charisma-based.


Lambent alicorns are ancient works of art made animate and sapient by celestial light captured within. They are compassionate creatures, though their exact personality vary—some are gregarious while others might be much more snarky, seemingly detached, or even pessimistic.

A lambent alicorn is a suitable Improved Familiar (minimum caster level 5th).
