Shadowstaff

A shadowstaff was a special undead servant created by either Mystra or Azuth from a willing former mortal. In life shadowstaves were typically Magisters or devout worshipers of either deity.

Description
Shadowstaves typically appeared as either floating amorphous cloaked figures or shadowy humanlike forms. They often appeared by rising from seemingly solid objects such as stone floors, passing through small openings similar to wraiths. A shadowstaff could never become fully visible. They could darken their appearance at will, becoming practically invisible to most creatures while occupying dark or gloomy surroundings.
