Message: <blockquote data-quote="Cleon" data-source="post: 5203292" data-attributes="member: 57383">That looks a reasonable beginning although I'd remove the duration limit.I think it still needs some method of temporary suppressing the effect to allow a chance of escape, such as positive energy channeling (e.g. turning, or the consecrate or hallow spells), and I have no objection to allowing a "one chance per day" to escape via teleportation/planar magic involving a level check of some kind.Something like:Shadowtrap Aura (Su):  A ghost-stone continually projects an aura to a  radius of 10-feet that captures creatures' shadows.   Any creature  within the area that casts a shadow must succeed on a DC X Will(?) save  or become tethered to the ghost-stone via its shadow.  The save DC is Charisma-based. A ghost-stone's shadowtrap aura does not function in areas of  total darkness.A creature trapped by the aura may not physically move outside the aura's area (or be physically  moved by others), but is otherwise unhindered. A trapped creature can use teleportation or other forms of extraplanar escape to leave the shadowtrap area if they succeed at a level check (DC X plus the ghost's Hit Dice) but is only permitted one such attempt, a dimensional anchor like effect prevents any further transplanar escape attempts.  A consecrate or hallow spell cast within the shadowtrap area will temporarily disrupt the aura, allowing trapped creatures to leave the aura if they succeed at a Will save (DC X, with a +2 bonus on the save if hallow was used). A  creature with the shadow jump ability or other mode of shadow travel  (such as the shadow walk spell) may escape the area as normal for the  spell or ability.The ghost-stone can attack all creatures within its shadowtrap aura with its  blood drain power at the end of every round.</blockquote>
