Ata Siva (Aura)

## Description

This aura takes the form of a second shadow, that grows more distinct as the user gets stronger. At level twenty, it will look more like a black, two dimensional version of the user, their expressions and even the lay of their fur clearly visible. When near a source of light the shadow will be seen stretched out towards it, moving as if to squash it out, while shrinking back from those with no evil in their hearts.

## History

It was said, that when the creator made the new world, that Darkrai looked upon it with scorn, it lacked the raw chaos that humans were so great at creating, and, deciding to fix that, Darkrai set about carving a small piece of its power away, to make something for the darker people in their new home. With the new aura completed, Darkrai wandered far and wide, seeking those who would benefit from it, and, with time, she started to feel it's pull towards those without fear of power, those who would use, to it's best advantage. She found the perfect first host in the form of a young Sneasel, banished from her clan, for challenging the alpha's rule. Darkrai crept into the Sneasel's dreams, promising power through the nightmare, if she would but give herself over to it. Eagerly, the Sneasel accepted, and upon awakening, discovered the new passenger in her step. As time wore on, the Sneasel grew strong, evolving and mastering the aura she had been gifted, before, finally, striking against those who had cast her out. In the course of a single night, her former clan was dead, left to rot in the snow. But the massacre did nothing to fill the void the aura had created in her, and she would strike again, and again, at any clan, herd, or tribe she could find. Eventually, a band of warriors tracked her down, and stopped her, for good. The aura fled her body before her death, fleeing to another, and multiplying, continually seeking those who would receive it.
