You weave together threads of shadow to create a weapon of solidified gloom in your free hand. When you cast the spell, choose the weapon’s appearance and choose Psychic or Necrotic as its damage type.
The weapon can take the form of any melee weapon you choose, but its form is purely cosmetic and grants no weapon properties, Mastery properties, additional reach, or ranged attacks.
As a Magic action, you can make a melee spell attack with the weapon against one creature within 5 feet of you. On a hit, the target takes 2d8 damage of the chosen type plus your spellcasting ability modifier.
When you make this attack against a target in Dim Light or Darkness, you have Advantage on the attack roll.
If you let go of the weapon, it disappears. While the spell lasts, you can cause the weapon to reappear in your free hand as a Bonus Action.
The shadow weapon is a magical effect rather than an actual weapon and can’t be used to make weapon attacks.
