They are at home in darkness, able to draw gloom around themselves to hide, leap from shadow to shadow, and take on a wraithlike form. ### Shadow Arts (Level 3) You have learned to draw on the power of the Shadowfell, gaining the following benefits. ### Darkness (Level 3) You can expend 1 Focus Point to cast the [Darkness](Assets/5ETools/spells/darkness-xphb.md) spell without spell components. You can see within the spell's area when you cast it with this feature. While the spell persists, you can move its area of [Darkness](Assets/5ETools/rules/variant-rules/darkness-xphb.md) to a space within 60 feet of yourself at the start of each of your turns. ### Darkvision (Level 3) You gain [Darkvision](senses.md#Darkvision) with a range of 60 feet. If you already have [Darkvision](senses.md#Darkvision), its range increases by 60 feet. ### Shadowy Figments (Level 3) You know the [Minor Illusion](minor-illusion-xphb.md) spell. Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for it. ### Shadow Step (Level 6) While entirely within [Dim Light](dim-light-xphb.md) or [Darkness](Assets/5ETools/rules/variant-rules/darkness-xphb.md), you can use a [Bonus Action](bonus-action-xphb.md) to teleport up to 60 feet to an unoccupied space you can see that is also in [Dim Light](dim-light-xphb.md) or [Darkness](Assets/5ETools/rules/variant-rules/darkness-xphb.md). You then have [Advantage](advantage-xphb.md) on the next melee attack you make before the end of the current turn. ### Improved Shadow Step (Level 11) You can draw on your Shadowfell connection to empower your teleportation. When you use your Shadow Step, you can expend 1 Focus Point to remove the requirement that you must start and end in [Dim Light](dim-light-xphb.md) or [Darkness](Assets/5ETools/rules/variant-rules/darkness-xphb.md) for that use of the feature. As part of this [Bonus Action](bonus-action-xphb.md), you can make an [Unarmed Strike](unarmed-strike-xphb.md) immediately after you teleport. ### Cloak of Shadows (Level 17) As a [Magic](actions.md#Magic) action while entirely within [Dim Light](dim-light-xphb.md) or [Darkness](Assets/5ETools/rules/variant-rules/darkness-xphb.md), you can expend 3 Focus Points to shroud yourself with shadows for 1 minute, until you have the [Incapacitated](conditions.md#Incapacitated) condition, or until you end your turn in [Bright Light](bright-light-xphb.md). While shrouded by these shadows, you gain the following benefits. #### Invisibility You have the [Invisible](conditions.md#Invisible) condition. #### Partially Incorporeal You can move through occupied spaces as if they were [Difficult Terrain](difficult-terrain-xphb.md). If you end your turn in such a space, you are shunted to the last unoccupied space you were in. #### Shadow Flurry You can use your Flurry of Blows without expending any Focus Points.
