Lightning Blade. Melee Weapon Attack: +12 to hit, reach 5ft., one target. Hit 41 (10d6 + 6) lightning damage. If the attack hits and there is another hostile target within 5 ft then that target also takes 6 lightning damage.

Devour Soul (Recharge 5-6). The balor targets one creature it can see within 30 feet of it that is not a Construct or an Undead. The creature must succeed on a DC 18 Charisma saving throw or take 52 (15d6) necrotic damage. If this damage reduces the target to 0 hit points, it dies and immediately rises as a Ghoul under the balor's control.
