Effect
The servant follows mental instructions, moves at running speed across surfaces and through tiny gaps, and may cling to a vehicle. It returns what it saw and heard when reabsorbed into your shadow; it is not a continuous live sensory feed. Bright light banishes it unless Wits + Oblivion at Difficulty 3 lets it avoid exposure for a turn. Duration clarification: the listed duration is one scene, although the descriptive range refers to a night's travel; use the scene limit unless the Chronicle resolves that discrepancy differently. An Oblivion Rouse result of 1 or 10 also causes a Stain.
