Actions

Multiattack. Faephina makes two attacks, either with her Thunder Gauntlets or Lightning Launcher.
Thunder Gauntlets (Guardian Form Only). Melee Weapon Attack: +12 to hit, reach 5ft., one target. Hit: 1D8+7 thunder damage. A creature hit by this attack has disadvantage on attack rolls against targets other than Faephina until the start of her next turn
Lightning Launcher (Infiltrator Form Only). Ranged Weapon Attack: +12 to hit, reach 90/300ft., one target. Hit: 1D6+7 lightning damage, plus 1D6 lightning damage once per turn. A creature hit by this attack sheds dim light in a 5-foot radius, and it has disadvantage on attack rolls against you. In addition, the next attack roll against it has advantage, and if that attack hits, the target takes an extra 1D6 lightning damage.
Pistol. Ranged Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 30/90ft., one target. Hit: 1D10+2 piercing damage.

• The object sheds bright light in a 5-foot radius and dim light for an additional 5 feet.
• Whenever tapped by a creature, the object emits a recorded message that can be heard up to 10 feet away. Faephina utters the message when she bestows this property on the object, and the recording can be no more than 6 seconds long.
• The object continuously emits Faephina's choice of an odor or a nonverbal sound (wind, waves, chirping, or the like). The chosen phenomenon is perceivable up to 10 feet away.
• A static visual effect appears on one of the object's surfaces. This effect can be a picture, up to 25 words of text, lines and shapes, or a mixture of these elements, as Faephina likes.

Flash of Genius (5/Day). When Faephina or another creature she can see within 30 feet of her makes an ability check or a saving throw, she can use her reaction to add +5 to the roll.
Grapple (5/Day, Guardian Form Only). When a Huge or smaller creature Faephina can see ends its turn within 30 feet of her, she can use your reaction to magically force the creature to make a DC 18 Strength saving throw, pulling the creature up to 30 feet toward her to an unoccupied space. If she pulls the target to a space within 5 feet of her, she can make a melee weapon attack against it as part of this reaction.
