Shades take part of the Plane of Shadow into themselves, halting the aging process and granting other benefits that he believed far outweighed any drawbacks. The transition was risky, and possibly fatal, but any kind of bid for immortality has the chance for ultimate failure. Nothing comes for free; there is always a price.While not a requirement to work for the Elite, any character who wants to move up in the organization eventually has to formally swear themselves to the shades that run it. This is done through a ritual that binds the character to the shadows. It begins the process by which the character eventually may become a shade, but the character is free to stop the progression any time he wishes.Shade Transformation spell.Powerful Undead: ?Reynard, Shade: ?Morgana, Shade: ?Sorin Critescu, Shade: Reynard and Morgana provided the final rituals and materials needed for turning the four into shades, and they made the transition 346 years ago on a cold, misty night.Jak Sweksin, Shade: Reynard and Morgana provided the final rituals and materials needed for turning the four into shades, and they made the transition 346 years ago on a cold, misty night.Krista Critescu, Shade: Reynard and Morgana provided the final rituals and materials needed for turning the four into shades, and they made the transition 346 years ago on a cold, misty night.Malik, Shade: Reynard and Morgana provided the final rituals and materials needed for turning the four into shades, and they made the transition 346 years ago on a cold, misty night.Lucius, Shade: ?Shadow: ?Mummy: ?Shade Transformation8th-level necromancy (ritual)Casting Time: 80 minutesRange: TouchComponents: V, S, M (powdered opal, vial of unholy water, ground up remains of a mummy), F (a diamond worth 5,000 gp and a mithral mirror that has been to the Plane of Shadow)Target One willing personDuration InstantaneousThis ritual must be performed in an enclosed room in the light of candles that provide a lot of shadows. The ritual begins with the subject willingly offering herself to the Plane of Shadow. The primary caster decorates the subject with the remains of the mummy and baptizes them with the unholy water. The diamond focuses the candlelight on the mirror, which is held above the subject’s face, whose soul then is drawn out of the body, through the diamond, and into the mirror where the transformation occurs. The diamond is consumed in the process, which is irreversible.</blockquote>
