I was pinned down but, I would fight with everything in me. I reached out to Rudolph through my mind and gave a mental image of everything. I knew now why I felt so connected to him.

That means normal combat won’t work.” “I call dibs on the illusions,” Chelsea added, tapping her fingers together. “I can make them think there are five of us, then twenty, then a whole circus of distraction. Shadows are stupid—stupid and predictable.” Nalia tilted her head, flames dancing faintly at her fingertips. “We can guide them with fire… not to burn them, but to herd them.

This is to say that they must wear their shadow twenty-four seven for it to be flexible; hence, /she also invented the leveling in which she’s the one who identifies/ she told them of the changes of the shadows tint every time they train deeper.
