Often confused with Ghosts, the Shades are mortal souls utterly consumed by the Cosmos, their previous memories and personalities wiped clean to leave an empty husk that is sent back to Auria to collect and torment souls, raising them into lesser undead. Shades are merciless and do whatever they can do claim the souls of the living to further the plot of the cosmos. When a Shade is able to drain their victim of their soul, that soul becomes trapped inside the lantern until it is shattered in the physical realm or brought back to the void to be released.

They are garbed in cursed cloth which they wear to disguise themselves with the living.

Powers

Much like regular Ghosts, Shades attack with spectral magic that passes through physical defenses, able to harm the soul of its opponent. However, Shades also wield scythes that they use to attack physically. Unlike Ghosts, Shades are not fully ethereal and are covered in dark robes or gowns which can be interacted with physically, though these robes do not do anything to boost the strength of the Shade itself and is more of something they wear to feel attached to the living world, becoming enraged if the gown were to be burned off or simply pulled off.

Shades focus largely on attacks that attack and weaken souls directly.

Physical Appearence

Shades are black souls that resemble a non-descript humanoids with glowing eyes, sometimes also possessing glowing mouths. They wear tattered robes or cloaks over themselves, often times being fully covered to blend in with mortals. They are known for carrying glowing lanterns that imprison souls and short or long scythes, depending completely on what the Shade prefers. Some Shades employ other tools into their arsenal too, like chains or torture devices.
