'''''Shadowborn Bonds:''''' When you use this invocation, ribbon-like shadows explode in a 5-foot burst from a point in space you designate within Medium range. Creatures within that burst take 1d4 points of Strength damage and must make a Will save. If they fail, they are Dazed for 1 round and wrapped in shadows for 1d4 rounds. While so bound by shadows, they are granted concealment, they are ''Slowed'', and shadows obscure their vision - They cannot see anything beyond 5 feet, and things within 5 feet have concealment from the subjects. A foe that succeeds on their save is immune to all effects of this use of the invocation except the Strength damage for 1 minute. Once used, this use of the invocation cannot be used again for 1d4+1 rounds. This is a Necromancy [Darkness] effect.

'''''Spectral Weapon:''''' When you cast this function of the invocation, you create a melee weapon out of shadow. It can be any melee weapon with which you are proficient, and functions in all ways as such, with two exceptions. First, all attacks with it are resolved as melee touch attacks instead of melee attacks. Second, the first time a target is struck, they are entitled a Will save to notice the shadowy, semi-insubstantial nature of the weapon; If they succeed, they only take half damage from the weapon, and have a 50% chance to ignore any special effects of an attack you make with the weapon, such as a Sneak Attack, Death Attack, or similar. The weapon strikes Incorporeal opponents normally, as if it possessed the Ghost Touch property. You can have only one such weapon in effect at a time, and only you can wield it - If it leaves your hand, it immediately disperses into wisps of dark smoke. The weapon, being magical, counts as Magic for the purposes of overcoming damage reduction. Furthermore, the weapon overcomes damage reduction as if it were Adamantine. If you are capable of casting Greater invocations, the weapon has an enhancement bonus to attack and damage rolls equal to your Charisma modifier (But no higher than +5). Finally, if you are capable of casting Dark invocations, Any weapon you conjure with this function of the invocation deals damage as if it were a size larger than it really is. This is an Illusion [Shadow] [Force] effect.

'''''Shadow Mask:''''' When you use this, you create a mask of shadows around your face that completely hides your features, though you can see through it normally. You gain a +4 bonus on saving throws against effects that rely on bright light for damaging effects (Such as ''Flare'' or ''Pyrotechnics''), as well as a 50% chance to avoid having to make a saving throw against gaze attacks, as if you were averting your eyes. If you avert your eyes while the mask is in effect, you get to roll twice to see if you avoid having to make a saving throw, choosing the better result. When the mask effect is ended or dispelled, it fades over the course of 1d4 rounds, giving you time to keep your face hidden by other means. While the mask is in place, you can ''See Invisible'', as the spell, and you have Darkvision out to 30 feet (Or you gain a +30ft enhancement bonus to the distance of your existing darkvision. This is an Abjuration [Darkness] effect.
