A 13th Age Tarsiss
Lightning rod (cursed champion tier wand) Always: +2 (champion). Recharge 11+: When you use this wand, you can cast the wizard’s lightning bolt spell, with a level no higher than your level. Curse: When you use a spell attack against an aberration, the damage you deal heals the target. The curse takes effect whenever the lightning rod is on your person. Quirk: Assume tarsi are your friends.
Remember when we created a new monster partly inspired by the mind flayer? A 13th Age fan asked for a version with 13th Age stats. So here it is! This creature has a 5 tentacle head on top of a humanoid body.
