These are only a shadow of what is to come, but the substance belongs to Christ. The Plane of Shadows is a universe of shadows, where most creatures enjoy neither real life nor undead status. This plane presents no special hazards. It is much like our own world, but with colors muted, and light sources dimmed, a constant temperature of 60 degrees, an overcast sky, and lots of fog and mist. Above the clouds are two suns, one a brilliant orb of positive energy, the other a black orb of negative energy.
Magical fire casts very little light.
Spells that heal or harm are at double intensity. They can enter our world from realms of shadows, and once per day open a gate to an ally or pet on the Plane of Shadows. They heal and regenerate lost body parts, except the head, over weeks. Some religionists pretend to have answers to everything, including the difficult moral problems. Shadow ministers are ethicists, trying to help people find the right thing to do in a world with many shades of gray.
