Priming [Reaction] (cold, shadow)

Routine (1 action) The shadow beacon fires shadows into the sky, discharging excess energy out of the device’s lower half. The trap deals 4d6 cold and 4d6 void damage to all non-shadow creatures in a 60-foot emanation from the base of the device (DC 26 basic Fortitude save). For each successful check to disable the trap, the cold and void damage dealt by the trap on subsequent rounds are both reduced by 1d6 damage. A creature that fails their save is pushed back 10 feet (15 feet on a critical failure).
