I suppose it was only natural for them to cast magic missile at you, after all.

You transform into an incorporeal ball of pure darkness. You are effectively a Diminutive swarm that fills two 10-foot squares (or eight contiguous 5-foot squares, shapeable as you desire). In this swarmlike form you gain the following characteristics and traits:

• Your Strength score becomes -, but your Dexterity score increases by 6. Attacks made with strength now use dexterity.

• You lose any natural armor or armor bonuses to AC. You gain a +4 size bonus to AC, and your Charisma as a deflection bonus (minimum +1).

• You gain a fly speed of 40 ft (perfect). As you are incorporeal, you can pass through up to 5 feet deep into solid material, though you cannot see through it.

• You gain the incorporeal subtype, with all the subsequent traits and abilities.

• You gain an incorporeal touch attack out to 5 ft, and a swarm attack. Both attacks deal 4d6 damage to any creature you touch or whose space you occupy at the end of your turn. Moving into someone's space provokes attacks of opportunity as normal. You deal untyped damage unaffected by damage reduction.

• You gain the Distraction ability. Any living creature vulnerable to your swarm attack that begins its turn in a square occupied by your swarm must make a Fortitude save or be nauseated for 1 round. Spellcasting or concentrating on spells within the area of your swarm requires a Concentration check (DC 20 + spell level).

• You can see in any darkness and take no damage from spells with the [Darkness] discriptor. You take 50% additional damage from spells with the [Light] discriptor. Your body is also dark, and blocks line of sight (even darkvision).

• All of your worn or carried equipment and items become nonfunctional, absorbed into your new form. You can take only move actions (so you can only use Rush maneuvers) while under the effect of shadowblot.
