Shadow Form - Great

Daily: Standard Action

Target: Self, special, see Possession

Effect: Once per day, the scion can transform herself into living shadow, gaining the insubstantial quality (see PHB page 277) and gaining a fly speed equal to her move speed. While in Shadow Form the scion is counted as 'Tiny' for squeezing movement, can move through enemy squares and occupy them, and can squeeze through doors (and possibly other openings with DM approval) without having to open them.

Effect: While in Shadow Form the Scion does not lose any reach they may have, can attack normally, can attack enemies while occupying either their squares or their allies squares, and can perform all actions as normal.

Effect: This power grants the Scion concealment. While in shadows (dim light), the scion gains a +15 bonus to Stealth checks and a +20 bonus to Stealth checks when in complete darkness.

Possesion: Once each round, the Scion may use the special Possess attack as a standard action on one enemy if they are occupying the same square as that enemy.

Attack: Blood (implement or weapon or holy symbol), vs Will

Range: Special, must be in the same square as the target.

Hit: The Scion is removed from the board and is unable to effect or be affected by anything(no line of sight or line of effect). The target takes 1d4 Blood and Necrotic damage from the Possession, then ongoing 20 Blood and Necrotic damage, and is Dominated. The Possession ends when the Scion wills it using a minor action, or the target makes a successful saving throw. The Scion re-appears in any square occupied by the target she wishes. The Scion may only Possess a given target once per encounter, but may Possess as many targets as she wishes in the duration of the encounter.

Duration: This ability lasts until the Scion cancels it (a minor action), or until the end of the encounter, or for up to the scion's level in minutes if used outside of combat.
