The buraq’s attacks are magical. When the buraq hits with its hooves, it deals an extra 4d8 radiant damage (included in the attack).

Magic Resistance.

The buraq has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.

Night Journey.

When outdoors at night, a buraq’s vision is not limited by nonmagical darkness. Once per month, the buraq can declare it is on a night journey; for the next 24 hours, it can use its Teleport once per round. Its destination must always be in an area of nonmagical darkness within its line of sight. At any point during the night journey, as a bonus action, the buraq can return itself and its rider to the location where it began the night journey.

Innate Spellcasting. The buraq's innate spellcasting ability is Charisma (spell save DC 17, +9 to hit with spell attacks). It can innately cast the following spells, requiring no material components:

Actions

Multiattack. The buraq makes two attacks with its hooves.

Teleport (1/Day).

The buraq magically teleports itself and its rider, along with any equipment it is wearing or carrying, to a location the buraq is familiar with, up to 1 mile away.
