Hail people of the boards.
Here I'm presenting a rough concept of creature, akin to a BBEG, I'm concious it needs balancing and polishing(after some serious changes maybe).
So, I'm not only searching for critiques here, but for suggestions.

1/day: Greater Scrying, Blasphemy
Energy drain (including feat benefits):
Upon receiving succesful hit with a natural weapon or melee weapon from Aspect of Undeath, a living creature gains one negative level and receives an additional 8 points of negative energy damage. The DC for removing the negative level is 28. The DC is Charisma-Based. When the Aspect of Undeath bestows a negative level on a victim, it gains 13 temporary hitpoints (26 on a critical hit) and +1 on bonus on skill checks, ability checks, attack rolls, and saving throws, these benefits last for 1 hour.
Create spawn:
A humanoid slain by the Aspect of Undeath becomes a normal wight (50% chance) or a vampire spawn (50% chance) in 1d4 rounds. Spawn created in this way remain enslaved under the Aspect of Undeath’s control until their masters destruction. They have normal statistics for monsters of their type as per the monster manual, but conserve their memories.
