The Black One of the Valley of the Mage cast a powerful spell upon you, fusing your soul with a fragment of the Plane of Shadow.
Region: Valley of the Mage (Oerth).
Benefit: You can cloak yourself in an umbra of shadowstuff, granting you a +2 bonus on Hide checks. Once per day you may cast a spell with the shadow descriptor as though it was prepared with the Empower Spell feat without requiring a higher-level spell slot.
