Shadow of a Reaper in Dungeons & Dragons 5e
Book of Ebon Tides, adjusted and renamed from Slither
Shadow of a Reaper
2-level Transmutation
You momentarily become a shadow (a humanoid-shaped absence of light, not the Undead creature of that name). You can slide under a door, through a keyhole, or through any other tiny opening. All of your equipment is transformed with you, and you can move up to your full speed during the spell's duration. While in this form, you have advantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks made in darkness or dim light and you are immune to nonmagical bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage. You can dismiss this spell by using an action to do so.
If you return to your normal form while in a space too small for you (such as a mouse hole, sewer pipe, or the like), you take 4d6 force damage and are pushed to the nearest space within 50 feet big enough to hold you. If the distance is greater than 50 feet, you take an extra 1d6 force damage for every additional 10 feet traveled.
While in shadow form, you can't talk or manipulate objects, and any objects you are carrying or holding can't be dropped, used, or otherwise interacted with. In addition, you can't attack or cast spells while in shadow form.
AN: Very reminiscent of the OW Reaper ability as well as WoW Wraith Walk.
When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 3rd or 4th level, the duration increases to 10 minute. If you use 5th or higher level, the duration increases to 1 hour.
