Upon casting Veil of Shadowed Blades, 1D8 ethereal daggers composed of shadow materialize around the user, hovering menacingly. The caster can then decide to either magically throw each dagger up to 60 feet or wield them for a single melee attack each. Magically thrown daggers deal 1D6+3 damage on a hit and have a +2 to the attack roll; wielded daggers deal 1D8+2 damage on a hit. Each dagger's attack roll must be made separately, and the placement of the caster can greatly affect their effectiveness due to the shifting angles of shadowy forms. Each dagger disappears after one minute or when they strike a target. The casting often leaves behind a faint smoky residue that conveys an unsettling chill within a 5-foot radius of the caster.
Lore
Conceived in the twilight of ancient elven enchantments, Veil of Shadowed Blades harnesses the elusive nature of shadows to manifest as piercing weapons. Primarily used by elven warlocks in the defense of secrets rather than in conquest, the spell represents a blend of finesse and lethal precision unique to shadow magic. The origin of the spell is rumored to be tied to a pact with an ancient Shadow Fey, bestowing it with an inherently unpredictable and eerie power.
