The Shadow Knife

The Shadow Knife is part of The Five Knives set.
==Known Abilities==
This knife has a set of abilities revolving entirely around darker emotions and shadows.
The first ability that the knife has is the power to render any living creature completely immobile by stabbing its shadow. This can be achieved either by throwing the knife or manually stabbing the knife into the shadow; the method used to stab it does not matter. This will not work on the current wielder of The Knife, however.
The second is that when stabbed into a living creature it will, without causing any physical damage, absorb the creatures shadow. A creature without its shadow is unable to feel emotions such as happiness or joy, leaving only the negative emotions to be felt. This will often drive the creature to insanity, and rarely even to suicide. The only way for the creature to regain their shadow is to kill the current wielder of The Knife.
The third ability is shared between all the knives: it is impervious to damage. Not all methods of destruction have been tested, but those which have failed. It's possible that reality-altering Entities could do it, but their cooperation would likely prove more difficult to obtain than the knives would be to destroy.
The final ability is also shared between the knives, sentience. When it chooses a wielder, it can communicate directly with them through telepathy. The blade will often attempt to twist the user into embracing the darker emotions within them, and to train with the knife in some way that increases the number of shadows it can steal. It is unknown why the blade wants to consume shadows, for it doesn't seem this grants it any new capabilities. None have been documented despite the increase in shadows it has undoubtedly consumed in its many years of existence.
