Why, I was being kind allowing one chance to escape.<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" />Oh well, I would happier going along with multiple attempts if they got progressively more difficult (maybe a +1 DC per repeated attempt?).I'd also fancy allowing clerics to "turn" the aura, something like:A cleric can turn or rebuke the shadowtrap aura as if it were an undead creature with Y hit dice; a successful turn check temporarily disrupts the aura, granting trapped creatures one round to escape the aura. A consecrate spell cast within the shadowtrap area will also temporarily  disrupts the aura for 1 round per caster level. Oh, and as for the blood drain damage I was thinking of something pretty low. I was thinking we could make it 1d3 points per round or even just 1 point. It'd give the PCs a bit more chance to find a way to escape. Anyhow, putting all that together...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 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. The shadowtrap area is under an effect similar to dimensional anchor, a trapped creature must succeed at a  caster level check to escape via plane shift, teleport or other forms of  extraplanar travel (DC 10 plus the ghost-stone's Hit Dice plus 1 per additional attempt). A cleric can turn or rebuke the shadowtrap aura as if it were an undead  creature with Y hit dice; a successful turn check temporarily disrupts  the aura, granting trapped creatures one round to escape the aura. A  consecrate spell cast within the shadowtrap area will also temporarily  disrupts the aura for 1 round per caster level. 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.At the end of its turn each round, a ghost-stone drains blood from each  creature caught by its shadowtrap aura, doing 1d3 Con damage to each.   Each time it drains blood, the ghost-stone gains 5 temporary hit points.</blockquote>
