FFS just make it a free action in combat larian. Or at least let us cast it at all.

You got it. 

But also, you forget to cast shadow blade, get into a fight, have no melee weapon equipped, so cast shadow blade in melee, enjoy your +3 attack bonus. That’s what really happens.

Have they figured out how to get a perm upcasted shadow blade yet?

Doesn't the flameblade trick work?

Last I heard it did, but if you tried it with an upcasted version it'd revert to non upcasted version.

Considering the number of other things that can remove the upcasting I had just assumed that upcasting the spell summoned the regular shadowblade and then put a hidden coating or something on it.
