Shadow Weapon - As an action, you can imbue one weapon that you are holding with holy energy, using your Channel Dark Moon For 1 minute, you add your Wisdom modifier to attack rolls made with that weapon (with a minimum bonus of +1). The weapon also devours light in a 10-foot radius and dim light 10 feet beyond that. If the weapon is not already magical, it becomes magical for the duration.

You can end this effect on your turn as part of any other action. If you are no longer holding or carrying this weapon, or if you fall  unconscious, this effect ends.
