A wisp of unliving shadow, drifting on the edge of vision. It consumes the puissance of living beings.

"Between the idea
And the reality
Between the motion
And the act
Falls the shadow
For thine is the kingdom

Between the conception
And the creation
Between the emotion
And the response
Falls the shadow
Life is very long"

-T.S. Eliot, _The Hollow Men_. 1925.

Useful Info

Shadows are undead, blue-black creatures found in medium depth dungeon levels. They regenerate quickly and occasionally drain your strength with their melee attacks.

Tips & Tricks

  • Since they are undead, Dispel Undead or a weapon of holy wrath will work wonders. If neither are available, hit it at range with non-cold magic or ranged weapons before engaging in melee. Even though the strength drain only kicks in rarely, you should hit hard and end the fight quickly.
  • A ring of sustain abilities will make shadows even less frightening.
