Ten Shadows Technique

7th-level Conjuration

• Casting Time: 1 Action

• Range: 120 feet

• Components: S

• Duration: 5 rounds

• Classes: Wizard, Warlock, Sorcerer (DM approval)

Through precise hand signs, you manifest the Ten Shadows Technique, summoning shikigami formed from living shadow. Each shikigami appears in an unoccupied space you can see within range.

You may have up to two shikigami active at the same time, except for Mahoraga (see below).

Summoning, dismissing, or swapping shikigami uses your action.

All tamed shikigami obey your mental commands and act on your initiative.
