Pact of Darkness

Surrounded by shadowy illumination, you cut your finger, letting a drop of blood fall to the ground – sealing your pact with the shadow giant, which accepts your obsidian spheres as payment for its services.

To use the pact of darkness spell, you must be in an area of shadowy illumination. You create a pact between you and a shadow giant. If you know an individual giant's name, you may request that individual by speaking the name during the spell (though you might get a different giant anyway).

You may ask the giant to perform one task taking up to one hour in exchange for a payment of 10 perfect spheres of obsidian. This payment must be made before the giant agrees to perform any services. The bargaining takes at least 1 round, so any actions by the giant begin in the round after it arrives.

At the end of its task, the creature returns to the Black (after reporting back to you, if appropriate and possible). This spell cannot be cast in areas of absolute darkness.
