Shadowcaster

There is power in shadows. It's a rare and subtle power, but there are people who can use it. Those people are called Shadowcasters.

All Shadowcasters are at home in darkness, and they can all manipulate their shadow to move things and to hit people with. Some of them can also exploit shadows in more esoteric ways, to step through shadows and to attack other people's souls through their shadows.


 * Musts:** A Shadowcaster must have a High Concept that reflects their shadowy nature. In addition, every Shadowcaster must take the following Powers:

Cloak Of Shadows [-1] Telekinesis [-2] Incite Effect (Shadow Control, with Conviction or Discipline) [-1]


 * Options:** The shadows of experienced Shadowcasters grow stronger and more versatile, allowing Shadowcasters to purchase Strength Powers, Extra Appendages, and upgrades for Telekinesis.

Some Shadowcasters can see the true nature of the world by looking at its shadows, allowing them to purchase The Sight. Shadowcasters with The Sight can learn to travel from shadow to shadow, allowing them to purchase Teleportation and Worldwalker with the Limitation that neither Power can be used if there is no shadow available to step into or out of.

The most dangerous Shadowcasters can consume, manipulate, and destroy the shadows of others. Such shadowcasters can purchase Ritual (Shadow) as well as reflavoured versions of Blood Drinker and All Creatures Are Equal Before God. The Shadowcaster version of Blood Drinker works through eating shadows rather than blood, and the Shadowcaster version of All Creatures Are Equal Before God works by attacking a shadow rather than a body.

The most powerful Shadowcasters are constantly wreathed in darkness. Any character with at least 9 Refresh worth of Shadowcaster Powers gets a version of the Aura Of Influence Power that creates a darkness-related Aspect.
