Abilities & Boons (Permanent or Temporary]
[These are more subtle, internal rewards that change the recipient's capabilities.]
The Beast's "Blessing": A temporary (perhaps 24-hour) surge of the shadow beast's power, granting the recipient a bonus to Stealth and Perception checks while they are in an area of dim light or darkness.
Fear's Whisper: The recipient can choose one creature they can see. For the next hour, that creature listens to every call of the shadow for that hour, doing what they are ordered to do, as the beast's shadow occasionally flickers in their peripheral vision.
Dark Step (Limited Use): Once per long rest, the recipient can instantly teleport from one area of shadow to another within 30 feet, bypassing physical barriers in between.
