Shades
Average lifespan: Immortal, unless killed by a stab through the heart
Average Height: depends on original species
Average Weight: depends on original species
Special note: Shades are usually created when a sorcerer or sorceress summons a spirit or spirits that he or she couldn't control, and consequently became possessed by it or them in both mind and body. Some magic users willingly submitted to the control of spirits in order to gain greater magical power, thus becoming a Shade.
Shades can also be created by a sorcerer summoning spirits into the body of another, turning the recipient into a Shade. To become a Shade, a humanoid form is not required. Many Shades have been formed, but most Shades self-destruct shortly after creation. Shades which survive the volatile natures of their formation are rare indeed.
Appearance: Regardless of their original appearance, Shades become very thin and pale after their transformation. Their eyes and hair became dark red. Shades could age, but this process is different to the aging seen in other species. They often change their name after becoming a shade.
Personality: Since only an evil spirit would welcome the opportunity to enter and control the body of a living creature, Shades are altogether vile and cruel. They are also intelligent and cunning, and skilled in magic and swordplay. It is nearly impossible for a Shade to be good because of the inevitably evil nature of the spirit. The personality of the product Shade is a mix of the minds of the spirit and the spellcaster.
Alignment: While they may or may not join a side they are inherently evil.
Special Traits: Shades are extremely powerful and dangerous. In addition to sorcery, Shades are gifted with superhuman physical abilities, many times greater than the fittest humans. These abilities included supernatural strength, speed, stamina, pain tolerance, and unmatched senses: A Shade could see as clearly at night as they could during the day, track scents at great distances.
Perhaps their greatest ability is their resistance to death. A Shade can only be killed by being stabbed through the heart; otherwise, it would merely be temporarily disembodied, and would reappear elsewhere in spirit form before returning to a body, healed. This process was unpleasant for the Shade and extremely painful, but has no lasting consequences.
All Shades can use magic. Because they possessed greater strength and stamina than any human, Shades were more powerful in magic than human magicians, and were able to cast spells that normally only elves could use, and for longer than a human without exhausting themselves. Shades were known to practice the darkest kinds of magic.
