Anothe rupdated semblance. This one used to be called Shadowsoldier, before I decided I really didn't like the name, and now it is called Shade.

-Name: Shade

-User(s): Brandeis Zaruciti

-Type: Conjuration

-Purpose: Utility

-Short description: Creates a being out of the user’s shadow, and adds more shadows fro extra strength.

-Visual effect: The user’s shadow rises from the ground to become a solid shape.

-Range: Short

-General limitations: Sudden light harms construct, illuminating areas shadows were pulled from removes them from the construct. Cannot take shadow more than 20ft from it’s origin, shadow instead returns to its position and a new shadow within range must be added. Distance will increase with practise. Shadow cannot lift more than 10lbs despite how many shadows are added, will increase with practise. Construct cannot go more than 20ft from user, will increase with practise. Shadow can only affect physical objects, though it can absorb the shadows of said objects to become stronger.

-Passive ability(s) (if any): Shadows near the user seem to flicker when emotional.

-Active ability: Tier One: The user’s shadow manifest into a physical construct, drawing on nearby shadows to make the construct do more damage and able to take more hits. Construct size and shape is dependant on the imagination of the user and the amount of shadows absorbed by construct, as well as darkness of said shadows. User can choose which shadows to add to construct. Construct movements are slightly jerky, will smooth out with practise. Dust interaction (Ice): Construct sprouts ice spikes on their body, increasing the damage output by 2x, and causes freezing attacks on contact.

Dust interaction (Fire): Shadows grow deeper, strengthening the construct overall by 1.5x

Dust interaction (Lightning): Construct causes shock damage with each attack

Dust interaction (Earth): Construct sprouts plates on thier body, increasing the overall health, and increase weight lifting capacity by 2x

Dust interaction (Wind): Construct is much smoother in its movements, allowing for more dodging capabilities.

Notes: This is the twin semblance of Silhouette. A quote from a story I wrote once, “Where they are the shadows on the wall, we are the knives in the dark”. That pretty much describes the difference between Silhouette and Shade.
