Your shadow takes a life of its own, stretching and moving itself to place darkness exactly where you might need it. It even allows you to use its senses when the occasion calls.

Cost: One Rouse check

System: Spend your simple action to conjure a supernatural shadow from your body. While this power is active, your shadow cannot be dispelled by any amount of light except direct sunlight. Your shadow also counts as natural darkness, but only for you, and only for other uses of Oblivion that require natural darkness. While active you may direct your shadow, including changing its shape, at will. Your shadow is two steps in length by default, but you may elongate and stretch your shadow by a number of steps equal to twice your dots in Oblivion. When doing so, solid objects block the passage of your shadow; however, you may cast your shadow under doors and through windows. Observers may notice the unnatural behavior of your shadow by making a static Wits + Awareness challenge vs. a difficulty of 3.

In addition, for the next 30 minutes, the user may freely extend his senses to any shadow made of natural darkness in his line of sight. While doing so, the vampire’s perspective changes to any location contained within the shadow. He can hear, see, smell, and feel anything as if his true position was where the shadow was. While extending his senses through the shadow, the vampire’s senses may be detected in the shadow by another vampire using Sense the Unseen.

Duration: Thirty minutes
