"traits":
- "desc": "The dao's innate spellcasting ability is Charisma (spell save DC 14,\
\ +6 to hit with spell attacks). It can innately cast the following spells,\
\ requiring no material components:\n\n**At will:** detect evil and good, detect\
\ magic, stone shape\n\n**3/day each:** passwall, move earth, tongues\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\
\ stone\n\n**1/year each:** wish (see Wishes)"
"name": "Innate Spellcasting"
- "desc": "The dao can burrow through nonmagical, unworked earth and stone. While\
\ doing so, the dao doesn't disturb the material it moves through."
"name": "Earth Glide"
- "desc": "If the dao dies, its body disintegrates into crystalline powder, leaving\
\ behind only equipment the dao was wearing or carrying."
"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": "The genie power to grant wishes is legendary among mortals. Only the\
\ most potent genies, such as those among the nobility, can do so. A particular\
\ genie that has this power can grant one to three wishes to a creature that\
\ isn't a genie. Once a genie has granted its limit of wishes, it can't grant\
\ wishes again for some amount of time (usually 1 year), and cosmic law dictates\
\ that the same genie can expend its limit of wishes on a specific creature\
\ only once in that creature's existence.\n\nTo be granted a wish, a creature\
\ within 60 feet of the genie states a desired effect to it. The genie can then\
\ cast the wish spell on the creature's behalf to bring about the effect. Depending\
\ on the genie's nature, the genie might try to pervert the intent of the wish\
\ by exploiting the wish's poor wording. The perversion of the wording is usually\
\ crafted to be to the genie's benefit."
