Spellcasting. Holly is a 4th-level spellcaster. Her spellcasting ability is Wisdom (spell save DC 14, +6 to hit with spell attacks). She has the following druid spells prepared:

Cantrips (at will): Druidcraft, Produce Flame, Shillelagh
1st level (4 slots): Create Or Destroy Water, Thunderwave
2nd level (3 slots): Barkskin, Flaming Sphere, Hold Person, Moonbeam, Pass without Trace, Spike Growth,

Blindness [IE 4]. Holly’s vision is impaired to the point that it is absent completely, and she has learned to navigate the world with no reliance on her eyes, depending on other senses instead. She has a −4 on sight-related attack rolls, ability checks, and saving throws including ranged combat beyond 10 ft. but a +4 bonus when using other senses to compensate, not because they’ve become stronger, but because she’s learned to use them more effectively. In addition:
She does not have disadvantage to hit invisible creatures.
She is proficient in the use of a stylus for reading and writing.

Fey Ancestry. She has advantage on saving throws against being charmed, and magic can’t put her to sleep.

Wild Shape. Holly can use her action to magically assume the shape of a beast that she has seen before (max CR 1/2, no flying speed). She can use this feature twice. She regains expended uses when she finishes a short or long rest. She prefers wolf, elk, or reef shark.

Actions

This staff also reduces the IE of the Wisdom (Perception) check penalty by 1 to detect objects within 5 ft.
This staff has 1 charge. On a successful hit, she can expend 1 charge as an bonus action to cause an additional 3D6 cold damage. The staff regains its expended charge daily after a long rest.
