Shadow Blade Technique

1st-level / Shadow Hand

You weave your weapon in an elaborate pattern, creating an illusory double that glows with white energy.   This maneuver allows you to create a mystical double of your weapon. As part of this maneuver, you make a melee attack against a creature. Unlike on a normal attack, you make two attack rolls and choose which attack roll you want to use. If you use the higher die result, resolve your attack as normal. (Your mystic double misses, but your true attack might hit.) If you use the lower die result, or if both die results are the same, your attack deals an extra 1d6 points of cold damage as both the mystic double’s attack and your true weapon strike home.   This maneuver is a magical ability.
