Effect The channeler conjures a narrow wire of solid darkness from one hand which can extend at-will to a maximum of 15 yards. Only one wire can be created at a time, but it can be dismissed by the caster as a Free Action. The far end of the wire can be cast to bind securely to any other shadow supporting weight as if it were a braided metal wire allowing the caster to climb it, walk across it with a successful Acrobatics Skill check, or create a trip wire. The trip wire forces targets who fail to see it (requiring a Perception Skill check) to make an Acrobatics Skill check when moving across it or fall prone. With a successful cast roll, the caster can change the length of the wire as a Move Action, allowing them to throw the wire to a patch of shadow up to 15 yards away (including vertically), and "pull" themselves to the terminus. This acts as a grapple, allowing the channeler to quickly scale tall structures. The Shadow Wire attaches to the shadows and not to objects themselves, and cannot be used to pull materials to them.
