Description: You use material from the Plane of Shadow to shape quasi-real illusions of one or more objects or forces. Shadow conjuration can mimic any Sorcerer or Wizard summoning or conjuration spell of 3rd level or lower. Each time a creature interacts with your illusionary conjuration, it is entitled to an Intelligence saving throw against that illusion. Once successful, the creature is considered to be disbelieving the reality of your illusion. Shadow conjurations deal one-fifth the damage (20%) against disbelievers, but normal damage against others. Non-damage-dealing effects only work one-fifth of the time against disbelievers. Creatures affected by your spell also get any normal saves they have against the smell you are mimicking.

Leveling: At level 7, the spell can mimic conjuration spells 6 level or lower. Damage to nonbelievers goes from 20% to 60%. At level 9, the spell can mimic spells of 8th level or lower and damage to nonbelievers goes up to 80%.
