Three new animist spells, revolving around shadows and spirts

Summary

Mods "Three new animist spells, revolving around shadows and spirts "

Purpose of change

Show some love to the animist class, as its still generally behind magus in combat and general utility.

Describe the solution

These three spells revolve around shadow(spirit) manipulation for slightly more ethical necromancy. They are:

• Wrathful Spirits: Spawns between 2 to 6 friendly shadows, they'll last at the most 2 minutes. The basic spitritmancer(soulbinder?) archetype spell. Fast and mana efficient it should also be a staple spell of the whole Animist class.
• Disruption bolt: A single target low range spell. Deals between 33% and 50% of the target current hp, so it deals a lot of damage in the first hit and quickly falls off with each subsequent one. A good spell to weaken enemies, allows your summons to fight upwards and enables soulrend and smite finishers for high level foes. At high levels its as efficient as magus magic missile. Although it will always stay low ranged (and can never kill by itself).
• Spirit Walk: A support translocation spell. Swaps your position with one of your shadows. Since all shadows are aggressive this is mostly useful for aggressive combat repositioning, but will also allow (relatively expensive) hit-and run spell slinging.

Animist? What's an animist?

Testing

Roghly balanced these agains magus spells. Might need a closer look, specially the shadows stats.

Additional context

A few more synergistic shadow spells to come.
