Target The caster’s shadow
Duration 1 minute/level
This spell causes the caster’s shadow to elongate, stretching away from his body at a rate of 30ft per round. It can elongate a maximum of 30ft per level. The shadow moves as an ordinary shadow along floors and up walls. The caster may maneuver in any manner feasible to place the shadow where he desires. The shadow makes no sound and is 90% undetectable in all but the brightest surroundings.
While the spell lasts, the caster can see, hear, and speak through his shadow. The shadow cannot physically touch, pick up, or attack creatures or objects. It can be struck only by spells, weapons of +1 or better magical enhancement, or other special attacks such as a dragon’s breath. The shadow has the same AC as the caster. Hit points lost by the shadow are lost by the caster. To cast the spell, a light source of at least the brightness of a candle must be present.
Arcane Focus: A small statuette the caster sculpted from a piece of obsidian worth at least 1,000gp. The sculpture need not be a "masterpiece", just as long as the caster made it. A Craft check of DC 25 allows the caster to only need a statuette worth at least 500gp.This spell was originally from the 2e Tome of Magic
