The caster becomes either the spell's target or the point of origin for the spell's effect, as appropriate. In addition, aoa are immune to gaze attacks, and such an effect is reflected back to its origin. #### ecology **Terrain** Any land and underground **Organization** Solitary **Treasure** None **Advancement** 14–20 HD (Huge); 21–39 HD(Gargantuan) Born from the friction at rare instances when the Positiveenergy Plane and the Negative Energy Plane graze eachother, aoa are curious creatures that are attracted to magicauras and spellcasting. They naturally reflect mostattacks, and are dangerous to spellcasters. It is theorizedthat they might be a “neutral” counterpart to the ener-gons, xag-yas and xeg-yis—reflecting energy while theyproduce it.Aoa are found floating around the Astral Plane and Ethe-real Plane, seeking out large amounts of magic. They aremost common at the borders of two or more planes, wherethe clashing of two magical energies create maelstroms.Aoa resemble huge blobs of quicksilver that float abovethe surface of whatever environment that are found in. Tinyorbs that separate and reabsorb at random surround them.The surface of an aoa is mirrorlike and reflects all light,making it very easy to spot in daylight.Aoa move slowly, bobbing lazy in the air. They becomeagitated and excited when they sense magic. Once theysense magic being cast, aoa will fly about crazily, trying toget in the way of magical blasts and touch magic items.They would be considered little more than annoyingpests, if it was not for their erratic behavior and dangertoward magic items.Aoa can be summoned and are often used as guardians,appeased by low amounts of magic that keeps them content.Aoa do not speak and do not seem to understand anylanguages. Droplets are smaller and weaker aoa that are created whena full-sized sphere reflects a large amount of magicalenergy. Droplets look like aoa spheres (see below), but aremuch smaller.Once they are created, droplets will stay around longenough to finish combat (and gather magical energy),15AOAJJAoa16before taking off on their own. Over time, a droplet grows tobecome a full-sized sphere.
