action (stance)

You enchant your weapon with clinging shadows.

You draw up the dead to do your horrible bidding. Choose a number of squares equal to your Charisma modifier within 30 feet. These squares become occupied with shadowy apparitions, which have an AC equal to 10 + your Charisma modifier your Maneuver DC and 10 hit points.

A phantasmal force manifests around your weapon, waiting to wrap itself around a foe.

As your foe’s deadly attack falls upon you, your form becomes mist and shadow.

With a baleful word and a vicious strike you draw the very lifeforce from your target.
