 Shadow Form is clearly meant as an escape tool. The combination of [[invisibility]] and bleeding [[scroll of fog|smoke clouds]] allows you to shake off ranged attackers and unintelligent melee enemies. Should you be chased by something that can [[see invisible]] and keep up with you, increasing your speed with [[Swiftness]] or a [[potion of haste]], or simply [[teleport]]ing away, is recommended.
-It's also perfect for ninja'ing runes. You can break into a rune vault, grab the rune via [[Apportation]], and teleport or [[Translocations|translocate]] away. The 50% damage reduction is very significant, even before considering the immunity. However, you'll almost certainly wind up with heavy draining once you're in the clear. And, if you haven't cleared the rest of the floor, your getaway might not be as safe as you'd hoped.

-As a general combat buff, Shadow Form is very costly, and usually counter productive. It inflicts heavy [[drain]], costs a lot of piety, and reduces your offensive capabilities. But, it does have a niche. Dedicated [[stab]]bers can take advantage of the invis-stabs. The infinite [[willpower]] can be used to block hex effects from [[unique]]s and other monsters. Could also be used for poison resistance in a pinch, though there are usually better sources.
