Shadow magic



Shadow magic uses the Shadow Weave as its source, taking the shadow energy and manifesting it elsewhere, as with the darkness spell. Notably, negative energy is not tied to the Shadow Weave, and spells or effects drawing on negative energy do not harness it.

The Shadow Weave was created by Shar and she 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.
