Shadow Touch

3rd-level necromancy

Casting Time: 1 action

Range: Touch

Components: S

Duration: 10 minutes

Your touch becomes imbued with strength-stealing energy.

Make a melee spell attack. On a success, the target must make a Constitution saving throw, reducing its Strength by 1d6 on a failed save, or half as much on a success. If the target’s Strength is reduced to 0, it dies and rises as a shadow 1d4+1 rounds later. The caster may control up to 2 HD of shadows per caster level at any one time. If the caster controls other undead, the total cumulative HD cannot exceed the 2 HD per caster level maximum.
