Irinix, a young sorcerer and son of a traveling showman created this spell to compliment his storytelling abilities. Irinix became a famous playwright later in life and offered this spell willing to anyone who would use it to entertain. For that reason, shadowplay is more common among street performers than adventuring wizards.
This spell alters an existing shadow into any shape you desire. The shadow of any Huge or smaller creature or object can be affected, but not larger forms and not actual creatures like shadows, shadow hounds, or shadow dragons. While you concentrate upon a shadow its shape changes and moves as many times or however you wish. You can alter the shape of the shadow, diminish it and split it into numerous smaller shadows, but you cannot increase the shadow's actual size. In addition, a shadow affected by this spell always remains affixed to the surface it's cast upon and cannot move outside of the area it would normally fall. If the source of the shadow is removed, the spell ends. If you cast this spell upon a shadow caused by a specific creature, that creature may make a Will save to resist having its shadow altered. This spell is also affected by spell resistance when cast upon a specific creature's shadow.
