Multiattack

The virtuoso lich uses Corrupted Art. It then makes three Artistic Flourish attacks. It can replace one attack with a use of Spellcasting.

Artistic Flourish

_Melee or Ranged Spell Attack:_ +9 to hit, reach 5 ft. or range 60 ft., one target. _Hit:_ 18 (3d8+5) damage of the type chosen with the Versatile Artist trait plus 9 (2d8) force damage.

Call Muse

The lich chooses one Beast or Humanoid it can see within 30 feet of it to be its muse. The target must succeed on a DC 17 WIS save or become the lich's muse and be charmed by the lich for 1 minute. While charmed, the muse has a speed of 0 and is incapacitated as it watches or listens to the lich's artistic expression. The muse can repeat the save at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. If a creature's save is successful or the effect ends for it, the creature is immune to the lich's Call Muse for the next 24 hours. If the muse suffers harm from the lich, it is no longer charmed. The lich can have only one muse at a time. If it charms another, the effect on the previous muse ends. If the lich is within 30 feet of its muse and can see its muse, the lich has advantage on its first Artistic Flourish attack each round against a creature that isn't its muse.

Corrupted Art

The lich hums a discordant melody, paints a crumbling symbol of death in the air, performs a reality-bending pirouette, or emulates some other expression of corrupted or twisted art and targets one creature it can see, other than itself, within 60 feet. This action's effects change, depending on if the target is Undead. - **Non-Undead.** The target must make a DC 17 WIS save. On a failure, a creature is blinded, charmed, or deafened (the lich's choice) until the end of its next turn. On a success, a creature takes half the damage and isn't incapacitated. - **Undead.** The target regains 18 (4d8) HP. Healing that exceeds the target's HP maximum becomes temporary HP.
