Sourcebooks for Shadowstuff and...

[lottrbacchus]

Could you please list sourcebooks that have Shadow-related magic, templates (other than Book of Templates), races, rules, etc etc.? Thanks!

Tome of Magic has the Shadowcaster (I think?) uses 'mysteries' - essentially shadow magic.
Planar Handbook/Manual of the Planes have Shadow Plane stuff, including the Shadow Creature Template. There's a template that's a basically a toned down Shadow Creature somewhere (Lords of Madness, maybe? Not sure).

The Forgottern Realms Campaign Book & some other supplements like Player's Guide to Faerun has Shadow Weave stuff, which may or may not be the sort of thing you are looking for.

Also see the same for details on Shades (race, city of, etc)

Thank you much, and any other sources welcome!

Lots of Shadow-themed spells in Spell Compendium.

Tome of Magic is the best source. There is a whole shadow magic system there, plus classes, Prcs, feats, and even a template that grants HIPS.

There are a couple of illusionist focused stuff that should have shadow spells

School of Illusion from FFG

Encyclopedia Arcane Illusions by Mongoose

FR's Underdark has shadowcrafter PrC, Races of Stone has the shadowcraft mage PrC, Book of 9 Swords has shadowhand maneuvers & the shadow sun ninja PrC. Player's Guide to Faerun has the shadow adept PrC (user of the Shadow Weave, that smootrk mentioned for FR), Complete Divine's web enhancement has the darkcloak PrC.

Excellent and thanks again.

I noticed the Unearthed Arcana, P63 Illusionist varriant, referenced 'shadowstuff'.

I'd love more information on what it is, and what the properties are, but it seems to be a vague and varied concept that depends on the writer. I'd also like to know if it was described in 2e or AD&D.
