The shadow can move up to 20 yards x Rank away from the caster. The shadow may use the caster’s stealth roll and treats mundane shadows as concealment.

Skill rolls are performed with the caster’s statistics and skills (although no enhancement or equipment modifiers). Despite having physical structure, the shadow remains able to move through two dimensional spaces, sliding between small cracks and under doors. In addition to controlling the shadow directly the caster may instead give it basic orders and instructions such as “defend me”, “wait here”, or “attack that target”. The shadow is immune to mind-affecting spells, however as with Conjure Shadow when directly controlling the shadow, the caster is vulnerable. Effects with the Light descriptor will cause Mortal damage to the shadow if they normally cause damage, and Rank lethal damage otherwise. The shadow has the following stats:

Domain Power: Fade to Black

The channeler may treat shadows (of their size or larger) as full concealment for the purposes of entering stealth. This allows a Shadow channeler using this power to enter stealth while observed by blending into nearby shadows.

At Rank 3, when concealed with this effect the channeler gains protection from spells which would detect stealthed targets.
