A Shadow is a permanent, evolving companion, as opposed to the temporary Echo. The mechanic is central to Sunny's Divine Aspect.
Acquisition Paths
1. Transformation: spend 100 shadow fragments to convert an Echo into a Shadow 2. Aspect Legacy Mastery: Soul Serpent was granted by first mastery of Shadow Dance 3. Defeating a creature: killing a creature of sufficient power (Nightmare in Vol 4, Shadow Slayer after killing Orphne)
Traits
- Possesses Attributes (Swift, Lucky, Marvel, etc.)
- Possesses its own abilities ([Slaying Blade], [Devourer], etc.)
- Evolves through classes: Monster -> Demon -> Devil -> Supreme
- Grows by consuming Memories and Echoes
