Shadow magic

Shadow magic drew its powers from the Shadow Weave, which was created by Shar. Shar kept the secret of this art of magic jealously, choosing carefully who she allowed to use it.

Shadowdancers, Shadow adepts and clerics of Shar could use this kind of magic. As an individual continually used shadow magic, they had to contend with their shadow self unless that individual wished to become more like the Shadovar. The presence of their shadow made an individual prone to negative thoughts and caused them to constantly doubt the good intentions of others. Once someone made use of the Shadow Weave to a certain extent, they were be unable to access the magic of the Weave.
