Abilities

Light Vulnerability — Attacks against the shadow are treated as magical if made by a creature who is in magical light or with an object that is in magical light (such as from the Light spell).
Void Healing — Negative Healing
Shadow Spawn — When a creature's shadow is pulled free by Steal Shadow, it becomes a shadow spawn under the command of the shadow that created it. This Shadow Spawn doesn't have Steal Shadow and is perpetually and incurably Clumsy 2. If the creature the shadow spawn was pulled from dies, the shadow spawn becomes a full-fledged, autonomous shadow. If the creature recovers from its enfeeblement, its shadow returns to it and the shadow spawn is extinguished.
Slink in Shadows — The shadow can Hide or end its Sneak in a creature's or object's shadow.
