(Recharge 4-6) The sprite magically teleports, along with any equipment it is wearing or carrying, up to 40 ft. to an unoccupied space it can see. Before or after teleporting, the sprite can launch an explosion of the elements. All creatures within a 5 foot radius must make a DC 12 Dexterity saving throw or else take 3 (1d6) of fire, cold, and lightning damage (12 (3d6) damage total). On a successful save, the creature takes half damage. Primal Slam. Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 5 (1d6+2) bludgeoning damage, plus an additional 9 (2d8) of either fire, cold, or lightning damage. Primal Curse. Ranged Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 20/60 feet., one target. Hit: Targeted creature takes 3 (1d6) force damage, and must make a DC 12 Constitution saving throw. On a failed save the creature becomes vulnerable to fire, cold, and lightning damage for 1 minute.

The strongest of all the Ardal sprites, a primal high sprite on its own is dangerous enough to adventurers, but sadly they are never alone. Typically appearing in packs consisting of 2-6 sprites and 1-3 non-primal high sprites, these fey beings can strip down a creature's elemental defenses, shift between the ethereal and material planes, and command all of the prime elements.
