At-will, standard action, ranged, DC 15+; you animate the shadow of a target creature within 60 feet, causing it to grasp, coil, and bind its owner. The creature must make a Strength saving throw or be restrained by its own shadow for 1 minute. At the end of each turn, the creature may repeat the save. The target must be casting a shadow (this spell requires at least dim light to function).

  • DC +2: the shadow bonds also grapple, preventing the target from speaking or casting spells with verbal components.
  • DC +4: affect one additional creature you can see (stackable).
  • If the light source is eliminated (plunging the area into total darkness), the bonds fade and the creature is freed.
