You break the boundaries between worlds, opening a path into the Plane of Shadow.

This mystery functions like the spell plane shift, except that your destination or origination must be the Plane of Shadow.

You transport yourself through the Plane of Shadow to any spot within range. Your shadow stretches out from you until it reaches your chosen destination, passing through solid objects and moving independently of the ambient light. You appear to fall into your shadow at one end, and raise from it at the another.

This mystery functions like the spell dimension door.

This mystery functions like the spell shadow evocation, greater, except as noted above. However, this mystery can only mimic an evocation spell of 6th level or lower (rather than 7th).

You infuse one or more objects with shadowstuff, causing them to animate at your command.

This mystery functions like the spell animate objects, but the items grow dark and warped, becoming more sharp-edged and appearing slightly worn or decayed for the duration of the effect. In addition, objects animated by this mystery benefit from concealment.

This mystery functions like the spell shadow evocation, except as noted above. In addition, this mystery can mimic an evocation spell of 4th level or lower (just like the regular spell really).

Tendrils of darkness flow from the ground like smoke, filling the area with writhing, shifting darkness. A cold draft washes over your soul even as the tendrils rise.

The area of deadly shade is filled with shadowy illumination, as per darkness. In addition, each time you invoke this mystery, decide if you wish the spell to deal or absorb damage.

An oily black smoke rolls out of nowhere, obscuring sight and sound. It leaves a distasteful residue on everything within, and the scent is one of open sewers and putrefied flesh.

Plumes of blackness swiftly fill the air like a viscous fog. The shifting of shadow and mists just barely suggests the presence of screaming faces and indescribable horrors lurking in the dark.

You draw the subject's shadow to you and sculpt it into a new shape. The subject warps even as its shadow does.

You infuse the subject with the power contained in its own shadow. This grants the creature resistance to cold 15, the evasion ability, and the ability to see in darkness, even magical darkness such as that created by the spell deeper darkness.

You channel shadowstuff into the subject's shadow, literally weighing him down under its weight.

Languor functions like either the spell slow or the spell hold monster. You choose which version you want before the effect begins. If you choose hold monster, the mystery can affect only one subject.
