A-Rank Jutsu

Shadow Summoning
Some say that the soul is connected to your shadow, and to have a lack of a shadow means to be without a soul and in most cases, dead. Whether the rumors are true or not, this Jutsu forcefully materializes the shadow of a victim into a physical, 3D form, enabling the victims soul to be directly harmed.

Information
Prerequisites: - Shadow Affinity, A-rank, 4 mastered Shadow Jutsu

Rank 1: Manifests the victim's shadow at -2 Accuracy. While active, the victim's shadow becomes a valid target during battle.
Rank 2: Manifests the victim's shadow. While active, the victim's shadow becomes a valid target during battle.

Special Action: By paying +20% Cp, the user may attempt to dispell a Shadow currently manifested by this Jutsu. This requires a Ninjutsu check between them and the one who manifested the Shadow. (I.e another Shadow user performs this Jutsu on the you or an ally; you may use this to attempt to dispell it).

Rank 1 Cost: 2200 Cp, 1100 Cp/Rnd
Rank 2 Cost: 1760 Cp, 880 Cp/Rnd

Notes:
- Lasts up to two rounds, and requires a Nin check against the victim each round active.
- A target may only be effected by this Jutsu once per battle.
- The Shadow is not a clone of the victim, but retains all their secondary stats and any effects active at the time this Jutsu was used. Any Jutsu used by/on the owner after the Shadow is manifested will not apply to it (Such as creating clones or activating a Chakra Armor or barriers).
- The Shadow does not attack or perform actions, but may attempt to dodge.
- Any damage done to the shadow is done to the owner of the shadow, but other effects such as debuffs, binds or poison, do not transfer. Only Damage. If both are attacked with AoE, whichever damage is highest is dealt.
- The victim may pay 1 Ap to attempt to reclaim their shadow and dispel this Jutsu; this has a 25% chance of success and may only be attempted twice per round.
- This Jutsu always requires full handseals to initiate; regardless of any skills or abilities the user may have (Such as channeling or one handed seals).

Shadow Garb
Those with an affinity for Shadows will eventually discover a most peculiar technique that allows themselves to replicate the stereotypical image a ninja; a warrior garbed in jet black clothing. This technique cloaks the user's body with darkness itself in the form of clothing composed of dim black flames, and is said to mask all traces of their presence, including their chakra. The catch, however, is that donning this garb steadily burns the user's lifeforce.

Rank 1: User may engulf their body in Shadows. Their visibility is treated as Dark. During their Stealth checks, any awareness buffs used against them have a 36% chance of not applying. The user's Sneak Attacks have a 6% chance of being critical hits.
Rank 2: User may engulf their body in Shadows. Their visibility is treated as Dark, and 'Auto-Aware' type effects do not apply against them.
