Shadow Dragon Aspect
IllusionIllusion spells deceive the senses or minds of others. They cause people to see things that are not there, not see things that are there, hear phantom noises, or remember things that never happened. ( ShadowA shadow spell creates something that is partially real from extradimensional energy. Such illusions can have real effects. Damage dealt by a shadow illusion is real.)
[ ShadowShadow spells manipulate matter or energy from the Shadow Plane, or allow transport to or from that plane.]

You wreathe yourself in the quasi-real form of a dragon. You gain
two claw attacks (1d6 plus caster level slashing damage) and a bite
attack (1d8 plus caster level piercing damage). These are primary
attacks. In addition, you gain shadowy wings, granting you a fly
speed equal to your base speed (good maneuverability).
Your shadowy natural weapons are only half as strong as the real things, though creatures that believe them to be real are affected at full strength. A creature is permitted one Will save the first time you strike it. If it succeeds, the creature takes half damage from such attacks for the duration of the spell. If you overcome a creature’s spell resistance on your first attack, that creature remains vulnerable for the spell’s duration; otherwise, it’s immune.
