The uraga jadugara, meaning the fallen naga magi, acts as an emissary from the hidden uraga empires across the world and from the lower spirit lands of the asuras. They appear as four armed snake people with the lower end of a snake and the upper torso of a reptilian humanoid. They range in colors just like snakes but generally are ebony black, a shiny copper, Jade green or sometimes white and yellow. They can also have various fabulous patterns like diamonds, stripes and so forth on their scales. They enjoy wearing bronze hoops and bangles, pierced in their hoods or on their arms as well as sandalwood beads. They have a brilliant violet third eye that actually stores magical essence and acts as some type of storage for mana. They act as emissaries, magi and strategists when they encounter tribes of bakemono and yama oni. They have a bond with these feral rakshasas and they generally organize them and use them for military purposes while they lead from the back, better to let the savage kazan no oni and tsuno no oni lead from the front. They can levitate in the air at a moderate speed but they are not fast flyers. Though they are seen as inferior magi compared to advanced arch-wizards or sorcerer supremes, they can cast a storm of low level spells with their four arms. They are good hedge wizards but they should not be mistaken for being overtly soft, they can easily cast shield and blad eward on themselves and then quickly savage any rogue or ranger with a flurry of razor sharp claws so a hero needs to get the drop on them fast.
The uraga jadugara enjoy levels of luxury that are not seen among oni or bakemono. They like eating their meat raw or bathed in pepper and vinegar and they especially love eating living things like fish and lizards. The uraga jadugara prefer to sleep burrowed in warm sand and they enjoy swimming in cool lakes. The Naga Magi enjoy smoking sheesha while reading their tombs or they scry carving runes into sand or throwing runic dice on flat stone tables. They also meditate and pray to their mighty masters such as the uragaraja and this gives them a connection to the spirit lands allowing them to quickly replenish their mana pools. The uraga jadugara use all manner of potent herbal drugs such as the red lotus and the death creeper during meditation so at times they are considered erratic and insane but this also helps with their meditations. Jadugara who have used too many of these substances have sometimes slipped into madness and become enemies even of their own followers, they are generally chained to platforms and unleashed in battle to act as mad wizards ready to unleash magical death upon their foes. Others have become quickly corrupted by the earthly desires and work as mercenaries for the highest bidder so they will even betray their own kind for coin, fine food and plum wine.

Third Eye Talisman

A dead uraga jaduraga's third eye can be extracted and turned into a talisman. The talisman has a number of charges equal to the number of charges it had when the uraga was alive (see Violet Third Eye above). As an action, a spellcaster can destroy the talisman to regain an expended spell slot with a level equal to or lower than the number of charges.
