[QUOTE="Fallen Seraph, post: 4736670, member: 57894"] This actually relates to one thing I REALLY want to know about the Shadow Power Source. Does it deal with Spirits? This is a perplexing question for me cause spirits of the dead fits quite nicely into Shadowfell, Necromancer, Illusions (Ghosts can seem like Illusions), Death, etc. vibe of what we think Shadow is like. However, Primal has a very good grasp on Spirits. More natural yes, more animalistic and less corrupt yes. But these are things that are so easily refluffed I wonder whether Wizards will still use Spirits much with Shadow. This interests me since I would love to see Spirits play a strong role with the Necromancer. [LIST] [*]Spirits could be used to possess dead bodies to bring them to unlife. [*]Different kinds of Spirits could possess the Necromancer or others to gain certain effects. Imagine a Spirit who died of poison possessing someone and they begin to suffer poison effects. [*]Implements would be something tied to the Spirits the Necromancer uses. So a scrap of a portrait, a doll, etc. Could get lots of good backstory from that. [*]All the communication back and forth from Shadowfell to Necromancer with a Spirit emissary. [/LIST] There is just so much you can do with Spirits that is really flavourful. Now this could be just one build for the Necromancer, the other could be more classic kind with corrupting the dead, use of blood, poison, etc. I wouldn't mind if that kind which is less mystical and more physical if they took a Scientific bent. Yes the Necromancer uses magic, but he knows how to use it properly because of scientific research on the bodies, etc. Lets see a Dr. Frankenstein version of a Necromancer. Edit: A little continuation of Spirit discussion. It just popped into my mind too, I wonder if Psionics will deal with Spirits. What with ESP and all. Well hopefully, the more Spirits the happier I will be. [/QUOTE]
