The Path of the Dark

The Path of the Dark is about travel and perspective. The Dark is the actually abysmal darkness that the Shadow Demons manipulate and work with. Also upon achieving the levels of Advanced, the Shadow Demon gains a mini-lair in the Dark only accessible by them.

Basic

Shadow Blink

Shadow Blink allows the Shadow Demon to move through the Dark in an instant from one shadow to another shadow that is within eyesight. This move is so intense and fast that it indeed takes place in an instant. Some say it appears if for a second or two that the Shadow Demon is indeed in two places at once.

Ripple

Ripple causes the Dark of the Shadow Demon to ripple around the them causing a form of vertigo in those viewing this effect. When looking at the Demon in this effect is on, it appears as if the edges of the SD are blurred to a point that it becomes hard to tell where the blur begins and the SD ends. (the Vertigo is similar to the effects of the Garou)

Intermediate

Dark Travels

Dark Travels allows the SD global transport through the Dark. The Shadow may transport himself through the nearest shadow into the Dark and come out of any shadow of an area he is familiar with. This form of travel takes but moments, but is not as fast as the place to place movement of Shadow Blink.

Displacement

Displacement is a little more intense than Ripple. This allows the SD to project his image out a couple feet from him. What this action does is make it that much harder for someone to make a combative hit against the SD. The change happens within an instant and goes un-noticed by the victim of this trick. Even the attacks of the Displacement seem to come from the image. This Displacement lasts for three turns.

Advanced

Shadow Mass

Shadow Mass works exactly like Dark Travels except now the Shadow Demon can carry up to three people with them through the Dark. Those who are not Shadow Demons feel a numbing cold when traveling the Dark with a Demon.
