Radiant Shardling (5e Template)
Radiant Shardling
Because shardlings are very attuned to mental energy, a shift can disturb their personality and psionic abilities. If a shardling stayed around a portal to the Upper Planes or a group of righteous celestials, for example, then it would eventually begin to take on their attributes as it is permanently infused with positive energy. They also change colours, from their natural green to glowing white.

Any shardling.
