Momentarily animate the shadow of a targeted entity that you can see, turning it's strength against it.
The target must make an untyped saving throw with proficiency against a DC of 7 plus the sum of their ability score modifiers plus the spellcasting modifier of the caster.
On a failed save, the target's ability scores are reduced by a total of nine points spread amongst all ability scores, not reducing any one score below four. The precise distribution is determined by the DM. This effect lasts until the target takes a short or long rests, or until a greater restoration effect is used on them.
At higher levels, increase the ability score reduction on a failed save by three points per extra level.
Multiple instances of this reduction do not stack.
Cannot be cast on entities that lack a shadow (whether due to their nature, full illumination, or complete darkness) or that lack an ability score.
