You alter a creature's shadow, transforming it into a terrifying monster out to devour the creature. The creature must attempt a Will save. A creature that has the
frightened condition from
unspeakable shadow must spend at least one of its actions each turn to either attack its shadow (making a Strike ineffectually) or flee from its shadow (using one action to move away as though it had the
fleeing condition).
Critical Success The target is unaffected.
Success The target is frightened 2.
Failure The target is frightened 3. It can't reduce its frightened value below 1 for 1 minute.
Critical Failure The target is so afraid, it might instantly die. It must succeed at a Fortitude save or die; this saving throw has the
incapacitation trait. If it succeeds at its save, the target is frightened 4 and can't reduce its frightened value below 1 for 1 minute.
