Yoink. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />I especially like the Shadow transformation and Shadow Sorcery.Hm, I really liked how the mage gets better at using darkness, but gets invariably worse at casting fire spells.  I dunno though, I want to give an incentive to continue going on in the PrC, but I rather like the flavor of the original ability.I'll just use my original, if only because these mages are tapping into the powers of darkness, it should be nigh to impossible to cast spells that create light.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" />Well, IMC the Shadow Mages are a splinter group of mages that learned to tap into the power of the Plane of Shadow in order to power their magic.  Normal wizards and spellcasters tap into the Transdimensional Plane of Energy to power their magic.  Currently, there is a sort of power struggle going on between the Mages Guild and the Shadow Mages.  The Shadow Mages want to work in peace and establish their own guild in the empire, while the Mages Guild wants to capitilize on this power and use it for their own benefit.  Shadow Mages are those Wizards and Sorcerers who have mastered the art of Shadow Magic.</blockquote>
