Magic Reflection (Su): If a creature targets Ythog-Nthlei with a spell or supernatural attack they must succeed at a level check against DC X (using caster level for spells and Hit Dice for supernatural attacks) or the magic is reflected back and they become the target of the attack instead of The Dark King. The Spell Penetration feat increases the attacker's effective caster level just as if they were trying to penetrate spell resistance.

The  attacker must make a DC X Will save or take Y points of Wisdom damage.  An attacker is subject to Wisdom damage on every attempt, whether the  attack is successful or not. The attacker is driven permanently insane if this Wisdom damage reduces their Wisdom to 0. The save DC is Charisma-based.
