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. As long as the caster ends her turn in shadow she remains stealthed, even if she has moved through areas without concealment.

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