Shade

Shades are humanoids who have merged with the essence of the Plane of Shadow. They grow more powerful in areas of darkness or shadows, including the ability to leap from shadow to shadow, to create shadowy duplicates of themselves, and even become entirely invisible. They can also decrease the amount of light in an area, and can see through darkness, even of the magical variety.

Many Shadovar, citizens of the City of Shade, are shades. They are a group of Netherese wizards who fled Faerûn for the Plane of Shadow before Karsus's Folly.
