You choose a shadow, or patch of shade, that you can see within range and that fits within a 5-foot cube. You manipulate it in one of the following ways:

• You cause the shadow to form into simple shapes and animate at your direction, but it still stays two-dimensional. This change lasts for 1 hour.

• You cause a creature or object’s shadow to disappear for up to 1 hour.

• You change the shadow’s color and darkness. This change lasts for up to 1 hour.

If you cast this spell multiple times, you can have no more than two of its non-instantaneous effects active at a time, and you can dismiss such an effect as an action.

When you reach 10th level, the size of the shadow that you can manipulate increases to become a 10-foot cube.
