You gesture.<br><br />
Dark cracks interlace themselves across the ground, snaking in rapid succession until they coalesce into a writhing web of living shadows!<br><br />
Roundtime: 3 sec.<br />
<br />
''Periodic messaging''<br><br />
The web of shadows slithers across the ground like a boil of featureless, black snakes, threatening to engulf everything in its reach!<br />
<br />
''When ensnares critters''<br><br />
The web of shadows falls deceptively still, only to bloom with a new layer of knotted strands that threaten to engulf everything in its reach!<br><br />
A twisted dryad is entangled by the encroaching web.<br><br />

''When you release the spell''<br><br />
You cease your shadow weaving.<br><br />
The web of shadows twitches one last time and then goes inert.<br><br />

''Fails to cast when you're in water''<br><br />
You sense the spell pattern form in the silt and mud beneath the water, but it ultimately fails.<br />

==Notes==<br />
* Spell's effect is stationary.<br />
* Adds ''a writhing web of shadows'' to the objects in the room.<br />
* Spell fails to cast when in water, for example if hunting [[Greater water sprite]]s.<br />
* Shadow Web scrolls will drop only from [[Adan'f shadow mage]]s and [[Elder Adan'f sorcerer]]s, at a much higher rate than normal, as a {{ilink|i|fetid antelope vellum}}.<br />
* 160 Arcana may not be enough to learn from a vellum, but if found on (or perhaps transferred via [[scroll stacker]] to) a [[Spell scrolls|simpler medium]] then 160 or lower will suffice.<br />

==Writhing Web of Shadows==<br />

<br />
[Monastery, Blueberry Bushes]<br />
Dark green moss ...<br />
You also see a writhing web of shadows, a granite gargoyle that is webbed, a granite gargoyle that is webbed, a silver razor and some junk.<br />
<br />
>look web<br />
<br />
A giant, writhing web of shadows stretches across the ground. Not merely a trick of light, the ebony strands are solid and extrude a chill reminiscent of a cloudless night. The mass moves and gyrates with a strange life of its own, threatening to overtake anything in the area.<br />
