King Edward called out, his hand resting on his sword hilt. The figure threw back its hood, revealing a face twisted with malice and eyes gleaming with a dark light. "I am Malora, the Shadow Witch," she hissed, her voice dripping with menace. "I have come to claim what is rightfully mine." I felt a chill run down my spine at the mention of her name.

As the last shadow dissolved, Allan felt a sense of mastery over his powers. He was ready to use them for the greater good.

"But that is only the beginning. The shadows are not just a weapon. They are a tool. They are a shield. They are a throne. We will build an empire, my queen, and it will be made of shadow and power." I looked at my hand again, the small, fragile shadow in my palm, and I felt a sense of both triumph and terror. I had done it. I had summoned a shadow again. I had commanded a power that was ancient and terrifying, a power that I had been running from my entire life. But I was not a monster. I was a god.

They're not just ordinary casters. Each possesses unique abilities, ranging from unnaturally swift regeneration and inhuman strength to the sinister power to manipulate creatures and even people, turning them into spies.
