You create a weapon, the size of which depends on your caster level. At 1^st to 4^th level, you can create only a dagger or other light weapon. At 5^th to 8^th level, you can create a longsword, rapier, or other one-handed weapon. At 9^th level or above, you can create a two-handed weapon. Only you can wield a shadow knife; if given to any other creature, the weapon vanishes.

The weapon created always has a black blade, guard, and hilt, and feels slightly cold to the touch. The shadow knife provides no bonuses on attack rolls or damage rolls, and does not count as a magic weapon for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction. A shadow knife provides a +4 circumstance bonus on Sleight of Hand checks involving attempts to hide the weapon. One can enchant a shadow knife with magic weapon or any other item-affecting spells as normal.
