_______________________________________________________________________________________________________

You create a Small (15 ft. long) wall of darkness within Medium (60 ft.) range. The wall is visible as a solid block of darkness.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________

You collapse to the ground, taking the appearance and shape of a shadow. This has a number of effects, as described below.

• You are nearly flat, allowing you to pass under doors and through other narrow passages. Your horizontal dimensions are unchanged, and you cannot enter spaces that are more narrow than you can normally fit through.
• You can freely move through space occupied by other creatures, and other creatures can freely move through your space.
• While you in a space occupied by an shadowed ally, you have concealment, and you can use the hide ability without moving in a way that causes observers to lose sight of you (see Stealth).
• You gain a slow climb speed, and you can climb without using any hands.
• You are always treated as being prone (half speed, -2 Armor and Ref), though your movement speed is not reduced.

At the end of each round, if you are not shadowed, this effect is suppressed and you return to your normal size and shape. If doing so is impossible, such as if you are in a space too small to contain your body, you gain a vital wound and this effect persists briefly. This form offers you no special immunity to damage, as creatures can simply attack the shadow.

You can suppress or resume this ability as a free action.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________

You strike your foe’s shadow instead of hitting it directly, but it takes damage just the same.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________

You separate your shadow from your body so you can control it independently. As a move action, you can move your shadow using your climb speed or walk speed. It can fit through any gap that allows light to pass through, such as under a door. Each time you move your shadow, it frays. You can move it up to five times before this effect ends.

If either you or your shadow ever stops being shadowed, this effect ends. Your shadow is constantly hiding and requires a difficulty value 15 Awareness check to notice. That check is modified by all normal Awareness modifiers to notice a hiding creature, such as requiring cover or concealment.

At the start of each round, you choose whether you see from your shadow or from your body. While viewing through your shadow, your observation ability is the same as your normal body, except that it does not share the benefits of any magical ✨ effects that improve your vision. You otherwise act normally, though you may have difficulty moving or taking actions if the shadow cannot see your body or your intended targets, effectively making you blinded (50% miss chance, -2 defenses).

It affects a Medium (30 ft.) radius zone in the first round, a Large (60 ft.) radius in the second round, and a Huge (90 ft.) radius in all subsequent rounds. Any effect which increases or changes this spell’s area affects all of its areas equally, not just the area in the first round. When you cast this spell, and during each of your subsequent actions, make an attack vs. Fortitude against all enemies in the area.

Hit: 7d8 damage.

Make an attack vs. Fortitude against one shadowed creature adjacent to you.

Hit: 8d10 damage.

Injury: The target becomes briefly slowed (-10 speed, -2 Armor and Ref). If it was already slowed with this effect and your attack result hits its Mental defense, you also control its movement during the next movement phase. It cannot take any actions during the movement phase, and as a move action, you can cause it to move up to its normal speed. During this movement, its movement is not reduced by being slowed. After this effect ends, you cannot control its movement again until it takes a short rest.

If the target enters brilliant illumination, the effect automatically ends.
