Help Index :: :: The arcane spell calls upon the natural shadows to protect the caster from harm. Shadows encircle the caster helping in numerous small ways, making the practitioner harder to hit, distracting opponents, even freezing and harassing opponents. And the shadows, being of a peculiar and unpredictable nature, can jump from one person to another. While this spell can be cast anytime, the shadows are much more effective in darker environments, most effective in absolute darkness.
