[QUOTE="Christew, post: 7814836, member: 7016049"] Good point. I don't play AL and my home group allows all book published material (with campaign based DM restrictions), but that is definitely relevant. I think RAW you can choose the [I]form[/I] your standard pact weapon takes (as in any of the standard melee weapons like a longsword with whatever fluff you desire) per "You can choose the form that this melee weapon takes each time you create it" [I]or[/I] you can make an existing [I]magic[/I] weapon into your pact weapon (as in items from the DMG like a Longsword +1) per "You can transform one Magic Weapon into your pact weapon by performing a Special ritual." Because SB reads that "You weave together threads of shadow to create a sword of solidified gloom in your hand. This magic sword lasts until the spell ends," I would rule that you would need the ritual because it is an existing magic weapon. You could totally summon a shadow blade (Longsword that deals 1d8+Modifier magic slashing damage and dances with shadowy energy), but could not summon a Shadow Blade (Spell Effect Weapon that deals 2d8+Modifier psychic damage).
