At-will, standard action, concentration, DC 19+; you peel your shadow (or the shadow of a willing creature) off the ground and give it three-dimensional form. The shadow creature is a dark, semi-transparent replica of its source. It has the physical statistics of its source creature but deals necrotic damage instead of physical damage. It obeys your mental commands and acts on your initiative. The shadow has hit points equal to half its source creature's maximum.

  • The shadow creature is vulnerable to radiant damage and is instantly destroyed if exposed to daylight.
  • DC +4: the shadow creature has full hit points instead of half.
  • DC +4: the shadow creature persists for 1 hour without concentration.
  • The source creature has no shadow while the spell is active (which may attract attention).
