You conjure up a quasi-real phantom singer that is visible as a shifting, shadowy duplicate of yourself. The singer follows you automatically, moving as you move even if you Teleport. The singer cannot be damaged, but can be dispelled. When a shadowbard comes into being, it immediately begins a Minstrel Song of your choice — it has access to all of the Songs and Talents that you do. It continues that Song until you direct it as a Move Action to switch to a different performance. For a Shadowbard to play Minstrel Songs, it consumes TP or MP (your choice) at half the normal rate, to a minimum of 1 TP or MP per round of performance.
