(⚔) Shadow Talons (standard, at-will) ✦ Necrotic

Reach 0; +17 vs Reflex; 1d6+6 necrotic damage, and the target gains vulnerable 10 necrotic (save ends).

⚔ Shadow Plunge (standard, recharges when it hits with shadow talons) ✦ Necrotic

The shadow watcher flies 6 squares and makes an attack at any point during that movement: targets creatures with vulnerable necrotic; +17 vs Fortitude; on a hit, the shadow watcher enters the target's space without provoking an opportunity attack and perches on the target's shoulder. The target is dominated and takes ongoing 15 necrotic damage (save ends both). While the target is dominated, the shadow watcher gains insubstantial, but cannot take standard, move, or minor actions (see also invisible at rest). Aftereffect: The shadow watcher exits the creature's space into any unoccupied adjacent space.
