New page

== Knowledge of the Dark Side of Shadow ==
[[Orias]] has gifted [[Darien]] with long-forgotten knowledge of the darker side of Shadow.
Darien gains an Umbral Pall equal to his total rank in magic from the Umbral Shade.
This provides ablative protection against damage caused by spectres, wraiths and
wights up to a total of his Pall each night. His Pall can also be used as a percentile
bonus on cast checks instead of the normal college shadow modifier; any resulting
magic will be of the Umbral Shade. 
The Umbral Shade is the shadow cast on the world when the Demons first fell. As
such, it will not harm demons, undead, or other intrinsically evil beings (e.g. Umbral
Shadowform offers no defence against devils), and may be particularly effective
against Beings of Light. 
== Spell of Shadow Folding ==
General Knowledge 
'''Range:''' 15 feet + 15 / Rank 
'''Duration:''' Immediate 
'''Experience Multiple:''' 300 
'''Base Chance:''' 20% 
'''Resist:''' None 
'''Storage:''' None 
'''Target:''' Magical Shadow 
'''Effects:''' The Adept to manipulate a magical shadow of their own creation. Generic
uses include hiding the shadows of the Walking Unseen, or hiding Shadow Wings
(while allowing them to work normally). It may be used to enhance Shadowform to
have the same effects as Armour of Earth; increase the effective rank of Charismatic
Aura; a Web of Darkness must receive 2 Ã— Rank damage to be destroyed. Finally,
casting this spell on a shadow before Shadow-walking allows the Adept to look
through to the destination shadow for a split second before whether deciding to
Shadow-walk. Any spell affected becomes of the Umbral Shade.

== Spell of Shadow Soul ==
Special Knowledge 
Range: 15 feet + 15 / Rank 
Duration: 1 day (+ 1/Rank) 
Experience Multiple: 300 
Base Chance: 30% 
Resist: Passive 
Storage: None 
Target: Entity or corpse 
Effects: The soul of the target is wrapped in shadow, so it canâ€™t leave the body. When
a person with a shadowed soul dies, there is no â€˜death buzzâ€™, or awareness by Powers
of the personâ€™s death. Having a shadowed soul Preserves Dead as per Healer, and
prevents resurrection, and speak-to-dead abilities (until counter-spelled). The target
may not astral travel, dream-travel, or do anything wherein their soul would leave
their body. The target may not resist Undead life drain, or apply any Necrogeny or
similar effects to reduce its effects. Particularly observant priests and similar folk
concerned with the welfare of peopleâ€™s souls may notice the shadow lying over a soul.
