Spell

Umbral Recursion

Created by BilboFett23

When you cast this spell, you become aware of the layered darkness that clings to your form, and you learn to inhabit the spaces between shadows themselves. Your physical presence begins to fragment into nested silhouettes, each one slightly removed from reality, allowing you to exist in multiple states of obscurity simultaneously. As you sink deeper into this recursive darkness, you find yourself capable of moving through shadows as though they were solid ground, phasing between the shadow-realm and the material world with each step. The spell grants you a profound understanding that your truest self may exist not in the light, but in the infinite regression of darkness upon darkness. Those who attempt to perceive you clearly find their eyes sliding away, confused by the multiplicity of your shadowed forms. However, this power comes at a cost—the more you rely upon this spell, the more difficult it becomes to remember which shadow contains the original you. In time, one may question whether anything remains of you beyond the endless reflection of darkness into itself.
