Your shadow spreads across the battlefield and transforms the area around you into a domain of living darkness.

A 30-foot-radius sphere centered on you becomes filled with supernatural darkness. The sphere moves with you.

You and creatures you choose when you activate the technique can see normally through the darkness.

For hostile creatures, the area has the following effects:

  • The area is difficult terrain.
  • A hostile creature cannot benefit from being Invisible while inside the area.
  • A hostile creature that begins its turn in the area must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, it is Blinded until the start of its next turn.

In addition, once on each of your turns, you can use a bonus action to command the living shadows to attack one creature you can see inside the area.

The target must make a Strength saving throw.

On a failed save:

  • It takes 4d8 necrotic damage.
  • It is Restrained until the start of your next turn.

On a successful save, it takes half as much damage and is not Restrained.

Once you activate this technique, you cannot activate it again until you finish a long rest.
