Message: <blockquote data-quote="Redbadge" data-source="post: 6024589" data-attributes="member: 61463">[sblock=Detect Magic]You've discovered the location of both faint magical auras. One emanates from an item in the fire, and the other from the Shadow. Though you cannot tell the school to which item is aligned, the Shadow definitely has an aura of unholy necromantic air about it. It seems latent necromantic magic has interacted with the recent events in this room to unleash this horror.[/sblock][sblock=DC 15 Knowledge (Religion) Lore]Shadows are difficult creatures to deal with. First, they are <a href="http://www.d20pfsrd.com/bestiary/rules-for-monsters/universal-monster-rules#TOC-Incorporeal-Ex-" target="_blank">incorporeal</a>, which means they are not affected by most nonmagical means, though you can still hurt them with holy water and energy damage, such as a flaming torch. Second, they do not deal traditional damage with their incorporeal touch. Instead, they sap the victim's strength. If someone dies from such attacks, they will rise as a shadow as well.[/sblock][sblock=DC 20 Knowledge (Religion) Lore]The sinister shadow skirts the border between the gloom of darkness and  the harsh truth of light. The shadow prefers to haunt ruins where  civilization has moved on, where it hunts living creatures foolish  enough to stumble into its territory. The shadow is an undead horror,  and as such has no goals or outwardly visible motivations other than to  sap life and vitality from living beings. Shadows are created through the gruesome and horrible death of the creature while it was alive. In this case, it seems this shadow formed after one of the villagers, likely terrified of fire, was burned alive.[/sblock]</blockquote>
