However, Levistus is currently entombed in a large mass of Stygian ice a minimum of 20 feet thick. While imprisoned his ability to take actions is extremely limited. He can only communicate telepathically and he cannot take any physical actions. He can, through sheer will, move the ice 1 foot per round. In addition, he can cast the following spells (save DC  24) requiring no components, while he is entombed:at will: <a href="https://www.dndbeyond.com/spells/charm-person" target="_blank">charm person</a>, <a href="https://www.dndbeyond.com/spells/major-image" target="_blank">major image</a>, <a href="https://www.dndbeyond.com/spells/counterspell" target="_blank">counterspell</a>,3/day each: <a href="https://www.dndbeyond.com/spells/hold-monster" target="_blank">hold monster</a>, <a href="https://www.dndbeyond.com/spells/scrying" target="_blank">scrying</a>,2/day each: <a href="https://www.dndbeyond.com/spells/dominate-monster" target="_blank">dominate monster</a>,  <a href="https://www.dndbeyond.com/spells/power-word-kill" target="_blank">power word kill</a>,1/day each: <a href="https://www.dndbeyond.com/spells/wish" target="_blank">wish</a> (to replicate another spell only)The ice does block line of effect for spells and ranged attacks that target him and each 5 feet of ice has AC 15 and 100hp. As long as the ice remains in Stygia, it regenerates 20 hp per round.  Anyone within 10 feet of the ice must make a DC 24 Constitution saving throw, taking 55 (10d10) cold damage on a failure and half as much on a success.
