PublicationPathfinder #202: Severed at the Root

This glossy black brooch is made of solidified shadows and is a gift, given by Avathrael Realmshaper to their allies to allow them to navigate the heart of the forest within Gloaming Arbor. While wearing a passage charm, you can cast Darkness as an innate occult spell twice per day.

Activate—Shape the Shadows 3 (manipulate)

Frequency once per day

Requirements You're in an area that's dark or dim light


Effect You command the shadows to do your bidding, forming a path, a ramp, a wall, or stairs. The passage charm casts 5th-rank Wall Of Stone, except the spell loses the earth trait, gains the shadow trait, and has a duration of 24 hours, and the wall is created from solid shadows, rather than stone. If any section of the wall is exposed to bright light, that portion of the wall has its Hardness temporarily reduced by half (to Hardness 7).


Trait Effects

Invested: A character can invest only 10 magical items that have the invested trait. None of the magical effects of the item apply if the character hasn’t invested it, nor can it be activated, though the character still gains any normal benefits from wearing the physical item (like a hat keeping rain off their head).

Magical: Something with the magical trait is imbued with magical energies not tied to a specific tradition of magic. Some items or effects are closely tied to a particular tradition of magic. In these cases, the item has the arcane, divine, occult, or primal trait instead of the magical trait. Any of these traits indicate that the item is magical.

Shadow: Magic with this trait involves shadows or the energy of the Netherworld. Planes with this trait are umbral with murky light. In the Netherworld, the radius of all light from light sources and the areas of light spells are halved.
