Original Research Ideas

[Ezechiel3571]

From a not-so-old post, the idea of creating a new form "Shadow".

It looks like we are going the way of considering Shadows as its own form, link to a part of the Magic Realm between the Great Void and the land of Dream and Nightmare. It probably does not have any historical meaning in the Aristotelian vision of the world nor the XII century understanding of what is a shadow, but none of us is a specialist nor see that as a problem since it can lead to a whole set of stories.

We are just starting to define Shadows as a form but it is okay since my magus is slowly building knowledge about this sub-Realm. It seems to be inhabited by independant spirits, as well as lowly shadows, which can only leave as a projection of something/somebody. Because of this link and need for most shadows to exist, somebody will wonder at some stage if the primordial, the very first Faerie are not the shadows of Titans.
Other points we agreed is that all Shadows are connected if the source of the shadow (the light in this case) is the same, which allow to see/move through similar shadows. At a higher base effect, shadows are connected through the Realm of Shadows, allowing perception/move through shadows on much longer distance, but requiring a AC to either the source of the shadow or the item/person casting the shadow (in the first case, the source of shadow is the same, so is implicitly the AC).
Finally, it is possible to invoke Spirit from the Shadow realm - aka Shadows, following the rules of magical creature and such. But I did not try to proceed so far, it still remains a mystery how it works and what I will get.

For the whole discussion, follow this thread, explaining the various takes on shadows (and finally why we decided in my Saga to make it its own form).
