Leadlight Moths are incorrectly named, as their physiology corresponds to butterflies. They are, however, magically created creatures, and not natural in any way, although they now breed true. These creatures were made by Elven mages to decorate some of their cities. They bred much faster than expected, however, and their magical effects were unexpected and a little dangerous. Leadlight Moths can usually only be seen as a flash of multicolored light in the sky, or on the side of a building. However, when influenced by magic or strong light effects, they sometimes form in large swarms, and can be very dangerous. Statistics: These creatures are agile, but made of glass, and quite breakable. They have 1 hit point each, and no special resistances. What makes them special is that Leadlight Moths in numbers can generate magical effects at will, depending on how many are present (may generate all lower-level abilities, as well) : 1: Dancing Lights (caster level 1) 4: Colour Spray (caster level 3) 9: Hypnotic Pattern (caster level 5) 16: Daylight (caster level 7) 25: Rainbow Pattern (caster level 9) 36: Feeblemind (caster level 11) 49: Globe of Invulnerability (caster level 13) 64: Prismatic Spray (caster level 15) 81: Sunburst (caster level 17) 100+: Prismatic Sphere (caster level 19) These swarms have no appreciable Intelligence score, and manifest these spell-like abilities purely for aesthetic purposes, which is incredibly dangerous. Many of these spells cause significant structural damage or loss of life of manifested in populated areas, so anyone who knows of these creatures will try to disperse them and stop them gathering in numbers.
