| Ability-1-Description = Up to once per round, a Thought Eater may Absorb Aura from an enemy creature. This power may be triggered if the Thought Eater makes a successful Psychic Vortex attack, or, it may be triggered if the Thought Eater is subject to any effects from an Arcane, Divine, or True Dweomer spell.

When triggered with a successful attack, the Thought Eater absorbs up to five spells of its choice from the target of its attack, or, if used defensivey, it absorbs the spell it was targeted with. The Thought Eater gains a number of temporary hit points equal to the level of the highest level spell absorbed. Thought Eaters cannot absorb cantrips (or powerful cantrips), since those are a renewing resource. All other spells absorbed by a Thought Eater are lost from the caster as if cast to no effect, and the spell slot is now emptied.

In addition, the process of Absorbing the aura causes the caster or possessor of the spell to suffer [[Ability Damage]] to their Intelligence, making their INT score effectively 2 lower. This loss will stack, and the victim should keep track of their temporary Effective Intelligence Score to determine if the Thought Eater will continue to attack them.
