Shadowplay

You possess an augmented or inhuman body.
Used by Allena, Created by Battlerwinner.
(Your specific augmentation must be physically visible in some way, but it does not need to make you appear outwardly monstrous or socially unacceptable. You must actively and obviously be using a necklace.)

As Allena puts on the necklace, it changes appearance to mimic that of the Moonshadow Necklace. Spectral strings begin emerging from behind it as they slither up her body and to the back of her head. Aligning with her left eye they suddenly pierce through her head and connect to her eye as her sclera becomes devoid of color and their natural teal turns into a deep blue akin to the oceans.

After the process is complete, the user becomes attuned to the shadows, when going through cracks they meld with the floor and the walls and become a patch of darkness as they slide through. When they reach out their appendages become ghastly and extend as if they're merely made of fog yet still retaining their physicality.


You gain the following benefits at all times. You must actively and obviously be using a necklace to gain the benefits of this Effect.

You are permanently and visibly transformed: Your left eye's sclera is turned pitch black as occassionally dark tendrils wriggle out from under your lids. Your physical form sometimes becomes translucent as the passing light reveals your appendages to be spectral and dark in nature. You are considered to be a Sapient, Living being when targeted. Your Perception is increased by 1.

Your appendages can reach an additional 30 feet.

You can squeeze through any cracks and passageways a cat would be able to.
