The target dies if this reduces its Strength to 0. Otherwise, the reduction lasts until the target finishes a short or long rest.   If a non-evil humanoid dies from this attack, a new shadow rises from the corpse 1d4 hours later.

Shadows were incorporeal and were hard to see in dark areas but were easy to see in brightly lit areas.
