09-02-07, 05:56 AM I'm reading the Return of the Archwizards trilogy, and in the first book he use a spell I've not heard of before: He cuts the shadow from two of the main characters with a sword, so that they (only the shadows) can move freely around the cavern they are in (fighting Phaerimm).

I wonder what kind of spell this is. What is the spells name? And where can I read more about it? (I want to use a similar effect in my campaign)

Thanks...

Anyone else?

Shadow Form (5th lvl) - Spell Compendium pg 183
Shadow Phase (3rd lvl) - Spell Compendium pg 185

Neither explains the existance of their shadow self needing to be wrestled.
