Effect	The channeler detaches her shadow, allowing her to see from its position in black and white, and to hear sounds as though she was present. The shadow can move up to 20 yards x Rank away from the her. The shadow may use the channeler’s stealth roll, and treat mundane shadows as concealment. While controlling the shadow, the caster is subject to the effects of any mind affecting spells cast at the shadow such as illusions or compulsions, and is aware of her own body but may not see her environment without relinquishing control of the shadow. The channeler's shadow has physical substance allowing it to interact with the environment including lifting light objects, picking locks, or attacking. Skill rolls are performed with the caster’s statistics and skills (although no enhancement or equipment modifiers). Despite having physical structure, the shadow remains able to move through two dimensional spaces, sliding between small cracks and under doors. In addition to controlling the shadow directly the caster may instead give it basic orders and instructions such as “defend me”, “wait here”, or “attack that target”. The shadow is immune to mind-affecting spells, however when directly controlling the shadow, the caster is vulnerable. Effects with the Light descriptor will cause Mortal damage to the shadow if they normally cause damage, and Rank lethal damage otherwise. The shadow has the following stats: Health 3 Physical Defense 3 (3 dodge) Magical Defense 1 Magical Resistance 9d10 Attack 6 Speed 10 Special Qualities Immune to death magic, mind-affecting spells, poison, and disease. Sneak Attack - Gain +Rank Attack when target is flat-footed. Each additional rank in the Shadow Assassin line will grant bonus statistics to the Shadow Assassin: +1 Health +1 Physical Defense +1 Magical Defense +2 Attack
