\ requiring no material components:\n\n**At will:** detect evil and good, detect\
\ magic, stone shape, disguise self (often with a longer duration than is normal\
\ for that spell; see Disguises)\n\n**3/day each:** passwall, move earth, tongues,\
\ true polymorph (mightier genies only; see Disguises)\n\n**1/day each:** conjure\
\ elemental ([earth elemental](/3-Mechanics/CLI/bestiary/elemental/earth-elemental.md)\
\ only), gaseous form, invisibility, phantasmal killer, plane shift, wall of\

"name": "Elemental Demise"
- "desc": "The dao has advantage on Strength and Dexterity saving throws made against\
\ effects that would knock it prone."
"name": "Sure-Footed"
- "desc": "Some genies can veil themselves in illusion to pass as other similarly\
\ shaped creatures. Such genies can innately cast the disguise self spell at\
\ will, often with a longer duration than is normal for that spell. Mightier\
\ genies can cast the true polymorph spell one to three times per day, possibly\
\ with a longer duration than normal. Such genies can change only their own\
\ shape, but a rare few can use the spell on other creatures and objects as\
\ well."
