A coven is used to perform many magics of Night. To initiate, first FORM a coven. As the leader of a coven, you may invite up to 13 others who follow the path of the Night* to <tt>JOIN</tt> your coven, and <tt>REJECT</tt> will dismiss the person if you wish to remove the member. As leader you may also <tt>APPOINT</tt> someone who will take over as coven leader in your place if you are to die or otherwise leave the realms.


To see who is currently in a formed coven, you can view the <tt>MEMBERS</tt>. To end a coven, simply use <tt>DISSOLVE</tt>, or use <tt>LEAVE</tt> to exit a coven. When three or more coven members stand together, <tt>CIRCLE</tt> will have you and all other members of the coven present join hands in a circle, which enables certain spells and provides minor resistance for its members against unwanted summons. Some Night magic can only be performed in a coven or in a coven circle. To speak to all members of your coven, use <tt>COVEN <message></tt>.

As a Shadowdancer, you should always be prepared to have shadows ready at your call. First, you must have a cauldron created to store your precious shadows, which must be gathered at night under the open sky. Releasing a shadow in your location will prevent regenerating abilities of all except followers of Mother Night or Crow.
The thick shadows will block much of the mana regeneration of any people who stand within them, unless they know the blessings of Mother Night.

|}
Take flight and disappear into the shadows when circumstances call for it. The way must be clear as you cannot travel through closed doors or out of rooms with no exits. The distance you wish to attempt to travel must be specified from 1 to 10 locations away. Power depends on how far you travel at a cost of 1 per 2 rooms.

|description = Once you have retrieved the shadow of your target, you can begin to inflict some real punishment. Twisting the shadow will cause mental anguish in your target and dull their mind, stripping the speed defence if present. When you tighten the twists on their shadow, you will evoke further damage to their corporeal form, depending on the number of twists present. Twisting a shadow tightly for the seventh time will undoubtedly be too much for it to handle. You can probe the shadow to see how many times it has been twisted tightly.

You can also squeeze a shadow to elicit the current effect, at the cost of 1p. You can only squeeze a shadow four times. On the fourth squeeze, it will dissipate.

If shadows have been released into the area, you can thicken them to choke every action on yourself and a target. The choking will continue until the caster and target are separated for a given time or time has worn off.

Tightening  advances the twist counter, drains some mana and deals the additional affect listed on the Tighten table for the new value of the counter. Squeezing does '''not''' advance the twist counter, drains some mana, and deals the current extra effect on the Tighten table.
