***False Appearance.*** While the mephit remains motionless, it is indistinguishable from an ordinary shard of ice.
 
***Innate Spellcasting (1/Day).*** The mephit can innately cast [fog cloud](compendium/spells/fog-cloud.md), requiring no material components. Its innate spellcasting ability is Charisma.
