Aversion to Sunlight. When the pyschomancer enters or starts its turn in an area of sunlight it must succeed a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or have its Constitution ability score reduced by 1. If the psychomancer’s Constitution score reaches 0 this way, it is destroyed. This reduction disappears after a short or long rest within an area of darkness. While within sunlight, the psychomancer has Disadvantage on attack rolls and ability checks.

Daemonic Attacks. Whenever the psychomancer deals damage against another creature other than another Daemon, that creature must succeed on a DC 17 Constitution or Charisma saving throw (creature’s choice) or have its hit point maximum reduced by half of the damage dealt. This reduction can be reverted by a short or long rest or the spell lesser restoration or similar magic.

Magic Resistance. The psychomancer has Advantage on saving throws against spells and magical effects.

Marshal Undead. The psychomancer is immune to being turned. In addition, all Undead creatures within 30 feet of the psychomancer gain a +6 bonus to saving throws against being Turned.

Menace (1/Rest). When the psychomancer is reduced to 0 hit points or slain outright, its hit points reset to 170, it removes all unwanted conditions and effects, and it recharges its Beffudling Breath, Force Beam, and Summon Skeletons action. Award a party an additional 22,000 XP (44,000 XP total) for activating this trait.

ACTIONS
Multiattack. The psychomancer uses its Befuddling Cloud action if available, then uses its Dead Fire action three times.

Dead Fire. The psychomancer chooses a point it can see within 180 feet. Each creature within 15 feet of this point must make a DC 20 Dexterity saving throw, taking 13 (3d8) fire damage plus 13 (3d8) necrotic damage on a failed save, or half as much on a success.

Befuddling Breath (Recharge 4-6). The psychomancer expels gray mist in a 60-foot cone. A creature inside this area must succeed a DC 20 Wisdom saving throw or be Confused for 1 minute. A Confused creature can repeat its saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.

If the Grappled creature’s maximum hit points are reduced to 0, it dies.

Summon Skeletons (1/Rest). The psychomancer summons 12 (2d8 + 3) skeletons into unoccupied spaces it can see within 90 feet. The summoned skeletons disappear after 1 hour or after the psychomancer dies.

REACTIONS
Phasing Dodge. When targeted by an attack it can see, the psychomancer moves up to its speed. During this movement, the psychomancer becomes incorporeal, and is immune to nonmagical damage.

I’ve added some optional rules for a campaign to help make it feel more like the game. First is Endless Night, which is more of a state of the world, and then Haven Leveling, so that leveling up feels more like the video game.

A carnivorous plant that resists taking root in one place. While technically classified as vegetation, the mandrake behaves much as a beast, hunting and killing for sustenance. Its sonic emissions can play tricks on the ears of trespassers, but they cause no harm to the florae of the forest.

The fully matured form of mandrakes, assumed over long years. It possesses a decentralized nervous system, yet is capable of complex responses to stimuli—not unlike an animal. This organism has outgrown its ability to acquire adequate nutrition, and gradually succumbs to the still rot of death.
