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.
• You gain a climb speed 10 feet slower than the base speed for your size, 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.
• You gain a +4 enhancement bonus to the Stealth skill.

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.

Usage time: Standard action.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________

This spell functions like the shadowstep spell, except that you can also make a strike at your destination. The strike is not Swift, even if you make the teleportation Swift.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________

Make an attack vs. Mental against a creature within Short (30 ft.) range that is not shadowed.

Hit: The target’s shadow is bound to the light as a condition. While it is below its maximum hit points, it treats areas of shadowy illumination and unlit areas as solid barriers. This means that it cannot move into them voluntarily or with forced movement effects.

You create a void of darkness in a Medium (30 ft.) radius zone within Medium (60 ft.) range.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________

Choose up to five creatures within Medium (60 ft.) range from among you and your allies. At the end of each round, the footprints, scent, and other tracks left by each target during that round are magically concealed. This increases the difficulty value to follow the trail by 10, but does not prevent creatures from seeing or smelling each target normally in combat. At the end of each round, if any target is outside of Long (90 ft.) range from you, the effect is broken for that target and its trail is revealed.

This ritual requires one fatigue level from its participants.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________

One ritual participant is never considered to be in mundane natural sunlight. This does not impair its vision, but protects it if it would otherwise suffer negative consequences from sunlight. Powerful magical ✨ effects that mimic sunlight, such as solar flare, still affect the target normally.
