A spell that allows the caster to leap between nearby shadows.

AD&D 2e[]

Shadow Blink
Spell Level: 3

Rarity: Uncommon (shadow mages, illusionists) or very rare

Schools: Alteration, Illusion, Shadow
Components: V, S
Range: Personal Casting Time: 3
Duration: 1 rd/level (max) Saving Throw: None
Target: The caster

The caster and up to 250 lbs of additional weight can disappear into one shadow (as long as it is big enough to hold them) and reappear in another shadow up to 60 yards distant. They don't need to see the shadow, merely know of it - if the shadow the caster tries to appear at is too small or has otherwise changed so that exit is impossible, the blink fails. The caster can take no action upon arrival from a shadow blink, but the duration persists, and the caster can make additional blinks to other shadows within the 60 yd. range on subsequent rounds (up to one blink per 3 experience levels). When the last blink is used, or the duration expires, the spell ends.
