### **Force Signature**

Edwin is a Gifted force type, meaning he can use multiple types of Ether Force. His Signature is called Shadow Hunter. Not only is he able to control and manipulate his own shadow, but he can steal the shadows of others and gain their abilities by trapping the shadow in his Shadow Tome.

The Criteria for him to steal an ability is 1.) Must witness the Force Signature in action with his own eyes. 2.) He must step on the targets shadow, infusing his ether in it. 3.) The target must be incapacitated or willingly offer their shadow. 4.) He must chant the incarnation and absorb the shadow into his tome. The victim, of course, no longer has access to the stolen ability. To use a stolen ability, Edwin first conjures his Shadow Tome and turns to the page of the desired ability and performs an ability swap. Initially, he can only use one ability at a time, but later he is able to use multiple abilities at once.

Edwin can transform the physiology of his body into that of a shadow; that cannot be touched by normal means. With this ether, he is also able to fade himself into shadows to move swiftly, dodging efficiently and making surprise attacks. Edwin can can manifest his own shadow as a doppelganger and have it fight for him and swap places instantaneously at will.

### **Dragon Force**

Edwin has fully awakened and mastered his inner dragon and can go into dragonoid and full dragon forms at will. In addition, he has awakened a secret dragon art ability called, Shadow Reality. Edwin can apply an illusion to reality itself, giving the him control over what is and is not real for as long as the illusion is active.
