This spell can be used to change the shape of any natural shadow with such a high degree of control that the caster can depict any outline of his choosing accurately as long as the new shadow has no more than 50% more or less surface area than the original. The shadow of a boulder could be changed into that or an ogre or a manster in order to frighten or confuse the unwary. If the light source were brought closer to the boulder causing an even larger shadow to be thrown, then the boulder's shadow could be transformed into a small dragon. In combination with distort shadow this spell can be effective, especially against those who are unfamiliar with such magic.

In addition, reshape shadow can cause 1d6 damage per caster level (maximum 5d6) against any one shadow creature or illusion that fails its Will saving throw, as the caster rends the creature's form. This use of the spell discharges it immediately.
