At will: alter self (can assume Medium or Large form), detect magic
3/day each: creation , gaseous form , major image , tongues
1/day each: conjure elemental (fire elemental only), plane shift (to Elemental Plane of Fire only)
Elemental Demise. When a efreet dies, its body becomes a mote of elemental energy. This mote might take the form of a glowing chunk of earth, a shard of crystallized air, or an ever-burning ember.
Elite Recovery. At the end of each of its turns while bloodied , the efreeti noble ends one negative effect currently affecting it. It can do so as long as it has at least 1 hit point, even while unconscious or incapacitated .
Magic Resistance. While bloodied, the efreeti noble has advantage on saving throws against spells and magical effects.
Wish. Three times per year, the efreeti noble can cast wish for a mortal, using no material components.
ACTIONS
Multiattack. The efreeti makes two brass sword attacks or hurls flame twice. The efreeti can replace one attack with a kick.
Brass Sword. Melee Weapon Attack: +10 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 15 (2d8 + 6) slashing damage plus 7 (2d6) fire damage.
Kick. Melee Weapon Attack: +10 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 11 (2d4 + 6) bludgeoning damage, and the target is pushed 10 feet away from the efreet.
Hurl Flame. Ranged Spell Attack: +7 to hit, range 120 ft., one target. Hit: 21 (6d6) fire damage.
BONUS ACTIONS
Fiery Wall (1/Day). An opaque wall of magical flame rises from the ground within 60 feet. The wall is 6 inches thick and can be up to 20 feet high and 30 feet long. Each creature within the wall when it appears makes a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw , taking 18 (4d8) fire damage on a failed save or half damage on a success. A creature also takes 18 (4d8) fire damage when it enters the wall for the first time on a turn or ends its turn there. The wall disappears when the efreet is killed or incapacitated , or when it uses an action to dismiss it.
The efreeti noble has the following additional bonus actions, which it can use only while bloodied :
Ball of Fire. Fire streaks from the efreeti to a point within 120 feet and explodes in a 20-foot-radius sphere, spreading around corners. Each creature in the area makes DC 15 Dexterity saving throw , taking 35 (10d6) fire damage on a failed save or half damage on a success. Unattended flammable objects in the area catch on fire.
Flame’s Curse (1/Day). The efreeti targets a creature within 60 feet that can hear the efreeti. The target magically gains a flickering aura of flame. If the target does not have immunity or resistance to fire, it gains vulnerability to fire. If the target is immune or resistant to fire, the efreeti’s fire damage ignores that immunity or resistance. This effect lasts for 1 minute or until the target is reduced to 0 hit points.
Combat
The efreeti prefers to fight in melee, although it will sometimes take to the sky and hurl flame at targets with inferior ranged options. It uses its Fiery Wall to burn at least two enemies. It uses Kick to push enemies into the wall or other hazards. Efreet are fearless and only retreat if doing so gives them a tactical advantage.

Legends and Lore
With an Arcana or Nature check, characters can learn the following:
DC 10 Among the most powerful elemental beings in existence, genies rule the Elemental Planes.
DC 15 The essence of every genie is linked to one of the four basic elements: air, earth, fire, and water.
DC 20 Though all genies wield powerful elemental magic, only genie nobles possess the ability to grant wishes.
The Elemental Plane of Fire can be a barren, hostile place. But where the efreet have built their great City of Brass, there is beauty, life, and shelter. These spirits of fire are majestic and imperious, with skin like magma and coal, and hair like ash and ember. They rule the Plane of Fire and take a keen interest in mortal affairs.
Mirage Arcana. Efreet are masters of illusion and flame. They can conjure mirages of flickering heat so convincing that mortals have fallen in love with them. Those who see through an efreeti’s tricks, however, are often handsomely rewarded.
Burning Grudges. Fire demands respect, lest it burn out of control. So too do the efreet. Long ago, a marid noble led a daring raid on the City of Brass and stole a golden sword belonging to an efreeti ruler. Since then, the efreet have needed little provocation to attack a marid or their allies.
Doors of Brass. Doors of brass have been discovered throughout the planes. One might be uncovered in the caldera of a dormant volcano or deep within a desert dungeon; another might appear amid a fiery storm in the Astral Sea. Wherever these doors are found, all lead to the City of Brass.
