In the shadowed corners of reality, where light and darkness dance in an eternal embrace, lies the essence of Shadowstitch. This cantrip, subtle as a whisper yet profound as the night, enables you to manipulate shadows to conceal small objects or traces of your presence.

Upon casting Shadowstitch, you touch an object no larger than a foot in any dimension, merging it with shadows. The object becomes shrouded in an illusion, making it blend seamlessly with its surroundings. This magical camouflage does not render the object invisible but extremely difficult to notice, a mere flicker in the corner of one's eye, easily dismissed as a trick of the light.

Additionally, you can use Shadowstitch to cover small traces of your presence, such as footprints or handprints, in a similar veil of obscurity. The spell weaves the shadows into a tapestry of concealment, masking the mundane and leaving no whisper of your passage while the spell remains active. When the spell ends, any obscured trail markers will be revealed.

While not a tool for grand deception, Shadowstitch excels in the art of subtlety. It is the quiet confidant of spies and thieves, the unseen hand that guides the fates of kingdoms from the shadows. In the hands of a skilled practitioner, this cantrip becomes a key to unlocking the secrets of the night, a silent ally in the pursuit of knowledge and power.

As the spell's duration wanes, the shadows gently unravel, leaving no trace of their former presence, as ephemeral and enigmatic as the mysteries they once concealed.
