Your target is gripped by shadowy thorny vines that can hold them. Subjects gripped by these vines move at half speed, are considered flat-footed, and take damage equal to 2d6 negative damage per square moved, including free 5 ft. step actions. An affected target can spend a full round action and make a strength check, DC 15 or escape artist check DC 22 to break free.

If two shadow points are spent on Shadow Clasp the subject wil; receive a Deep Gash whether they save or not. On a failed save they will become blinded for the duration of Shadow clasp.

Synergy: If the affected target is also hit with a shadow fade attack, the first attack against the target is considered to be critical threat. If this attack does not confirm, it does not hit.
