You have made your pact with an entity of the Shadowfell. A shade of Thultanthar emboldens you to explore the shadows teaching you how to manipulate them to your will. Most Shadowblades cannot sleep at night and avoid the light. The entity always urging them deeper and deeper into the Shadowfell to possibly become a shade as the netherese once had.

Shadow Weapon

You use your control over the shadows to manifest a weapon that lacks the two-handed property of your choice (1D6 psychic damage). You are proficient with the weapon.

This weapon is unable to be forcibly removed from you. You may dismiss the weapon into a pocket of shadow and manifest the weapon again as a bonus action. 

When you attack with that weapon, you can use your Charisma modifier, instead of Strength or Dexterity, for the attack and damage rolls. If you later gain the Pact of the Blade feature, this benefit extends to every pact weapon you conjure with that feature, no matter the weapon’s type, damage done from the pact weapon is Psychic.

You may use an action to take control of your opponents shadow for one minute. You can cause the shadow of your opponent as a bonus action to do one of the following.  If the shadow has 1 hit point an AC of 12 and immunity to all damage excluding radiant damage. If the target moves to a point where the shadow is covered in light it will dissapate after 1 round.
