When this invocation is activated, a black smoke begins to swirl around you, emanating from either your body or the air in the square around you, but vanishes once it leaves your occupied square). This black smoke follows you, and you can control the intensity of the smoke from barely noticeable to thick and opaque. The smoke can be affected by wind, but your body generated new smoke as fast as it is blown away. In areas of dim or darker illumination, you gain a +2 Profane bonus to Hide checks. This invocation can be altered in one of two ways:
Cloak of Shadows: Your smoke spreads out in a 10-foot radius from you, plus an additional 5 feet per 4HD you possess, becoming a thick, shifting cloud equivalent to the darkness spell. You can see normally through your own smoke. Additionally, you can see the smoke visibly outlining invisible creatures inside the radius of your smoke. The smoke is cloying, and clings to creatures in the cloud for 1 round after they leave the affected area, making them visible to others as well.
Cloak of Embers: Your smoke is full of rising sparks and shimmers slightly, as if coming from some hellish vent. You shed a dull red light equivalent to a torch. Your form becomes distorted by the heat, sparks and smoke, and precision attacks against you take a -2 circumstance penalty. Any creature striking you with a non-reach weapon in melee takes fire damage equal to ½ your HD. Additionally, metal objects in squares adjacent to you are affected as by the heat metal spell, though the effect takes twice as long to occur as normal.
You may suppress, resume, or alter this invocation with a swift action, and it lasts for 24 hours.
