Shadow Brand (3.5e Maneuver)

''You sheathe your weapon in cold shadows. As you swing, the shadows chill and solidify vapor into a crystalline sheen.''

When you initiate this maneuver, your weapon turns into a shadow brand for the rest of your turn. The brand increases your reach by 5 ft., and your melee attacks with the brand deal cold damage equal to your normal melee damage. You still gain all the normal benefits from a high Strength score, feats, and other effects that increase your melee damage. You otherwise attack with your weapon as normal.

This maneuver is a supernatural ability.
