Magic Resistance. The guardian has advantage on saving throws against spell and other magical effects.

Spark of Power. A spark of energy lashes out from the item to which the guardian is bound. Target creature within 10 feet of that item must make a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw, taking 14 (4d6) lightning damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

Lair Actions

On initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties), the guardian takes a lair action to cause one of the following effects; the guardian can’t use the same effect two rounds in a row:

• Poisonous gas floods out of a crack in the floor or ceiling and fills a 20 foot cube at a point it can see within 120 feet. Any creature that starts its turn within this cloud of gas or enters it for the first time on a turn must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or become poisoned until the end of its next turn. This cloud persists for one minute or until dispersed by a powerful wind.
• A bloated corpse within the room rises from the dead and begins to shamble towards the nearest hostile creature. This zombie moves 25 feet per round, moving on initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties). This zombie his 15 hit points and AC 10. When the zombie reaches a target or is reduced to 0 hit points, it swells and then explodes in a gruesome wave of putrid organs and bile. Each creature within 5 feet of the zombie must make a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw, taking 14 (4d6) necrotic damage on a failed save, or have as much damage on a successful one.
• The spirits of the dead rise to haunt a creature within 120 feet that the guardian can see. That creature must succeed on a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw or become frightened until the end of its next turn. While frightened, that creature’s movement speed is reduced to 0.
