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.

By linking the creature touched and the Plane of Shadow, you temporarily trade some of its traits for more potent ones belonging to creatures of that shady realm.

You grant the subject 5 temporary hit points for each of its Hit Dice (maximum 75). For the duration of the effect, the subject’s shadow grows larger than normal, and its movements are very slightly uncoordinated with those of the subject. An observer can notice this characteristic by making a DC 20 Perception check.
