Shadowmancer

**Shadowmancer** is a Job class that hailed originally from YGGDRASIL.

## Background

A shadowmancer is defined by their ability to manipulating the mystical shadow energies of the world they're in as well as in the Shadow Realm. A shadowmancer may indeed be similar to most necromancers and wizards, but their magic, being drawn directly from the shadow energies themselves, is more difficult for most to negate. Because of this, most wizards would often require a strong power of will to negate a shadowmancer's power.

The magic seen from shadowmancers, often called shadowmancy, range from simple illusory magic such as some minor illusions or a bolt of shadowy magic, to warping around the battlefield, enhancing their bodies with wisps of shadows, or other pretty outrageous abilities that would make most spellcasters mess themselves. Similar to warlocks, shadowmancers supplement their spellcasting with some facilities of melee combat. While most shadowmancers will often use daggers, some shadowmancers tend to branch out for other kinds of weapons.

## Abilities and Powers

Shadowmancers have the capacity to control shadows and voidant energies. Picking this job class from the interface at level 1 immediately sets the player's kharma in the negatives.

### **Active**

* **Summon Shadow 1st**: This spell allows the user to summon any kinds of low level nightshade..
* **Summon Shadow 10th**: The user conjures forth a powerful Shadow being under one's command.
* **Summon 4th tier Shadow**: Allows the user to summon a Shadow being like Shadow Demons for assistance.
* **Nightshade Army**: A 7th tier spell that can summon a huge horde of nightshades.
* **Shadow Flare**: Causes a geiser of dark fire to burst forth from the ground burning the target with fire and negative energy.
* **Oblivion**: An 8th tier spell that belongs in the specialty of shadowmancy. It was a spell that drained the opponent’s focus, granting the user various benefits depending on the amount of focus drained. Such benefits could range from a simple illusion spell to a boost in Crit chance. This spell often overrides most spells that grant protection from mind-affecting spells.

### Class Abilities

* **Rite of Darkness**: Ainz stated that it could enhance his undead creation skills through the use of a dark ritual. For shadowmancers like Shade, it enhances their Shadow Control skills through the the use of a dark ritual for enhancing magical devastation.
* **Shadow Control**: All spells that a shadowmancer can wield, a couple notable ones being Shadow Bolt and Shadow Arsenal, hold an particularly devastating power through destructive capabilities, mind-manipulation, or even by simply and effectively quick casting times. Control over these components is a skill most shadowmancers get through delving deep into the maddening properties of darkness itself. Those that display these skills without showing any signs of madness are quite the formidable foes for the will of darkness bends to their own.
* **Mind of the Void**: A passive skill that protects the shadowmancer from mind-affecting magic.
* **Shadow Creation**: A skill that allows the shadowmancer to create nightshade minions.
* **Ruler of Shadows**: A high level skill unlocked by a shadowmancer that picked the class at level 1 and had successfully reached character level 80. With this skill, all nightshades around the shadowmancer receive buff in their endurance, damage, attack accuracy, and other areas. In addition, the shadowmancer gains the benefits of all nightshade regeneration properties if they don't already have it.
* **Umbral Focus**: Shade, if asked about shadowmancy, would compare the powers of shadowmancy to the essence of chaos itself as with most forms of magic, shadowmancy comes from darkness, is fueled by darkness, and is the pure embodiment of a black abyss. He would also state that because of such comparison, shadowmancy is much more difficult to negate.
