Shadow Grab

Shadow Grab is an effective close-range spell favored by fighters who exploit openings and control their opponents. By using their shadow to bind part of a target to the ground, the caster can throw an enemy off balance and create a brief opening to strike.
The spell is inherently risky. Shadow Grab has limited range and requires precise timing, placing the caster close to danger. If the target anticipates the spell or the caster misses their moment, the backlash is often immediate. The shadow is a powerful ally, but it must be used with restraint and tactical awareness overreliance on it can be deadly.

Effect

The caster’s shadow extends outward to seize and restrain a portion of a target within 15 feet, anchoring them briefly in place.

Gestures & Ritual

As the caster whispers the incantation “Shadow Grab,” they channel energy into their shadow while sliding one heel in the direction they wish it to move. The caster fixes their gaze on the exact point they intend to seize, guiding the shadow as it reaches out to bind the target.
