Description:	Shadow Web was perfected by the Adan'f, and many feel the spell is tainted by their foul touch. It will generate a web of tangible shadow across the area, snaring all who are unlucky enough to fall into its dark embrace.
Effect:	AOE webbing
Example Messaging:	Initial cast You gesture. Dark cracks interlace themselves across the ground, snaking in rapid succession until they coalesce into a writhing web of living shadows! Roundtime: 3 sec. Periodic messaging The web of shadows slithers across the ground like a boil of featureless, black snakes, threatening to engulf everything in its reach! When ensnares critters 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! A twisted dryad is entangled by the encroaching web. A twisted dryad is entangled by the encroaching web. A twisted dryad is entangled by the encroaching web. A twisted dryad is entangled by the encroaching web. A twisted dryad is entangled by the encroaching web. A twisted dryad is entangled by the encroaching web. When you release the spell You cease your shadow weaving. The web of shadows twitches one last time and then goes inert. Fails to cast when you're in water You sense the spell pattern form in the silt and mud beneath the water, but it ultimately fails.

Notes

• Spell's effect is stationary.
• Adds a writhing web of shadows to the objects in the room.
• Spell fails to cast when in water, for example if hunting Greater water sprites.
• Shadow Web scrolls will drop only from Adan'f shadow mages and Elder Adan'f sorcerers, at a much higher rate than normal, as a fetid antelope vellum.

Dark green moss ...
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.

>look web

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.
