:: Updates ::

9/19/2019 - Made Bound Shadows Dispelable by casting the power again. (There is a delay of a few seconds before you can dispel after summoning or before you can resummon after dispelling like 3 seconds or so) This is in response to a complaint about the bow. If this works out then I will add a dispel effect and add this to the dagger as well.

9/12/2019 - Fixed the Shadow Book so that it now properly should grant you abilities as you level.

:: To Come:: 
  • Shadowed Armor: This can be seen in the screenshots, I have not finished the enchants yet. 
  • Ring of Crows: After five seconds of drawing the arrow  will become empowered and cause a dot with crows that fly around the target. (

:: FEATURES:: 

  • Level up with progressing abilities
  • Start automatically with the book of shadows that you use to level the Shadow Dancer by reading it
  • Add to your playthrough with unique ways to tackle different situations with your new abilities.
  • Balanced abilities

:: Leveling Abilities:: 

Level 1:    Bound Shadows (Bow)
Level 5:    Conjure Shadow Throwing Dagger
Level 10:  Shadow Walk
Level 20:  Shadowed Dagger
Level 25:  Shadow Step

:: Ability Description:: 

Bound Shadows: 
Binds shadows into the shape of a bow, the bow levels along with the player and has an enchantment called living shadows in order to keep the bow significant across the entire playthrough and balanced. Can be summoned and dispelled by using the same spell, there is a small delay after summoning (3 seconds) before you can dispel and the same delay before u can recall the bow again)

Bow Powers:
Level 1: The bow can extinguish light sources
Level 25: The bow gains the ability to darken out the sun when fired at the sun. Just like Auriels bow.

Conjure Throwing Dagger: 

You are able to bind the shadows into a dagger. The dagger does four damage when used as a melee weapon, however, you can throw the dagger doing devastating damage to humanoid enemies if you can hit them. You must remake another dagger to throw again.

Shadow Walk: 
The shadows hide your presence making you much harder to detect and increase your sneaking speed. This Automatically works while sneaking so long as you are not detected, in combat or near a bright light. Going through well-lit areas will extinguish the Shadow Walk.

Shadowed Dagger:
You are able to conjure a dagger made of Shadow into your hand. The dagger scales with your level becoming stronger equally with weapons that you would be using at that level like the bow. The dagger also has the enchant Living Shadows like the bow to help ensure it stays relevant.

Shadow Step: 
You gain the ability to step through the shadows and appear where you wish to be. (Targeted Teleport)

Living Shadows Enchant:
Adds 15 damage to the weapon however only works while in the shadows.

:: Additional Effects ::

The arrows of the bow disappear into shadows when they hit an object that is not a monster, the arrows also have a trail of shadows.

:: Requirements :: 

Sneak Tools

:: Installation :: 

Install normally, when you start the game you should automatically get the book of shadows in your inventory. If you do not, just use the console to look for the book of shadows. This will work with games that exist. If you are above level 1, just click the book until you receive all the abilities listed for your level. This will require you to open and close the book a few times depending. That is it :) Please report any bugs you find so I may address them thanks :)

A special word from Maty743...

Please go give these contributors some Kudos and check out and endorse their amazing mods as without their help this mod might not have come to
completion.
- Firstly a huge thank you to Arynn for allowing me to use his amazing chest/vest mesh as a base starting
point for my armor. Without this asset, it would have taken me a great
amount of time to get the look I wanted and I may have even ditched the
project altogether. Check out his superb oblivion mods, especially the
lotr ones. I just wish I had known about these when I was playing
oblivion last.

- Secondly a big thank you to Isilmeriel for letting me use her Dagger meshes and some base textures. I
absolutely love these Daggers and also the rest of her superb lotr
weapon pack. I highly recommend getting this pack if you do not have it
already as it blends perfectly into Skyrim.

- I would also like to credit Bethesda for their great game and
continuing to support the modding community. The developers of Blender
and Nifscope.

- Lastly thank you to all that have supported me, given me ideas and support etc. Especially NWaldinger and alduin78 who
have helped keep me on track and motivated. Thanks :)
