Shadow's Companion

This spell is a part of the Shadow Bracing spell chain and is found in the Shadow Bracing rune stone.

With this spell you call upon the positive form of shadow, the shadow itself. The shadow responds by transforming your shadow into a shadow hound. The shadow hound stands on all four and is the size of a dire wolf. The shadow hound will be yours to command during the spell's duration. It can move 8 spaces, can attack for 5d12 increased by the caster's runic power worth of damage, and is invincible. Your hound cannot defend you though as all attacks go through it since it is nothing more than a shadow. Your hound can only attack once and move once.
