Illithid have an afinity to mental spells including impressive immunity to most
mental manipulation.

not very apt with kinetic spells.

essence of the fallen and adds it to their own.
Note: This racial ability is innate and does not require any specific action to
initiate. It operates naturally, like breathing.
