Deep Shadow (standard; sustain minor, encounter) ✦ Necrotic

Aura 2; thick, writhing shadows surround Vandariel. She and any other shadow creatures within the aura gain concealment. In addition, enemies that enter or start their turns within the aura take 5 necrotic damage, and enemies (including flying ones) also treat the area within the aura as difficult terrain. Vandariel can sustain the aura as a minor action. However, the effect ends if she uses shadow jaunt or moves more than half her speed on her turn.

Area wall 5 within 10; Vandariel conjures a wall of spinning blades that lasts until the end of her next turn. The wall can be 5 squares long and 2 squares high. The squares it occupies are difficult terrain. If a creature enters the barrier's space or starts its turn there, it takes 3d6 + 5 damage and ongoing 5 damage (save ends, with a -2 penalty to the saving throw).

Healing Word (minor, encounter) ✦ Healing

Close burst 5; Vandariel or an ally within the area spends a healing surge and regains 2d6 + 3 hit points. Vandariel can use this power twice per encounter, but only once per round.

The shadar-kai teleports 3 squares and becomes insubstantial until the start of its next turn.
