The mutative power in which one’s physiology and anatomy becomes that of a shadow. Also known as a Umbral Physiology.
Capability
The user assumes a 2D form, and can crawl up walls and such. The user can revert back to original form, but retains jet-black skin with white eyes. Can extend outward to become a larger shadow. The user can blend into shadows completely, or even teleport through them.
One with this ability can even flatten up against walls and impersonate the shadows of others (allowing one to sneak up on or away from foes).
