> [!note|no-i] # Reaper of Hidden Shadow > **Range:** Melee range > **Duration:** Special > > During a ritual spanning dusk till dawn, you summon an *Invisible Stalker*, an unseen assassin from beyond the Veil. The *Stalker* attempts to perform one task as ordered by you, regardless of how long it may take or how far the *Stalker* must travel. The magic binding the monster is especially strong and imposes disadvantage on any *[[Sever Arcanum]]* test. > > The *Stalker* relentlessly pursues its objective until completed, the mission becomes impossible, or the *Stalker* is destroyed. If the mission is completed there is a 50% chance the assassin breaks free of your control and attempts to return and kill you (on a Great Success it does not return). Otherwise it vanishes forever. Calling forth an *Invisible Stalker* is both taxing and dangerous, triggering a [[Dark and Dangerous Magic|DDM]] effect and permanently draining 1 point *Luck* which cannot be recovered by any means.
