Shadowmancy

Shadowmancy, commonly known as Shadow Magic, is the art of magic created and controlled by Grandfather Spider. Shadowmancy is described as the ability to warp reality and touch the Spiral's true essence. It encompasses a variety of powers such as increasing a Wizard's piercing ability, corrupting the 3 Astral Schools, and fusing with the 7 Schools to create the most powerful spells around. In exchange for such abilities, Shadow Magic often corrupts the user's mind or body, or invokes a phenomenon known as Backlash. When a Wizard uses pure Shadow Magic spells, the Shadow inflicts Backlash if the user's actions does not please it.
