>One of your limbs no longer has a shadow

>Your shadow has one limb more than it should
>>
>>36502411
>>36502424

Which one is more unnerving I wonder?
>>
>Your shadow is a fraction of the size it should be in the current lighting, or many times normal.
>>
>>36502411
I'd... honestly probably assume I'd gone on some mystical journey to save another world or whatnot-obviously forgetting it afterward because that's just the way of mystical journeys to save another world-and lost my limb in the process but had it healed, and this was the healer's trick to try and let me remember it even though i wasn't supposed to.

So the first thing I do is start reviewing everything that's happened to me over the last week or so.

Extra limb, definitely.

Heh. I remember that fight, nearly impossible otherwise.
>>
>>36504730
That fight was super cheesable if you used anything BUT the sword. Hell, I think that was the point. It'd block most strikes, and the only ones it wouldn't were the ones not in the manual/tutorial.

My weapon of choice was the megaton hammer.
>>
>>36504837

Yes, but I'm talking about the fight against Dark Link in Zelda II, The best way to fight him is to sit in the bottom left corner, crouch down and stab away. Why does this work?

Seeing as the shadows relative left and right varies with the angle of the person and light source, we can assume that "left and right" are simply the matching ones.

I had a Necromancer like this
GM had a setting with a "shadow realm" in-between the mortal realm and the lands of the dead
Shades and Shadows lived down there, Necromancers could go
Shadows were assholes who wanted to kill their "host" and take over their body, so they could experience the sun
Naturally Necromancers were the most vulnerable to this since they went to the shadow realm
I killed my Shadow and replaced it with a loyal Shade, my best friend for the rest of the RP

I may include Silly Shadow Sity in my next world. Fluff it as an ancient wizard's experiment, people just live with it now.
Probably wont do anything spooky or serious with it, just humorous background events when the personality/ability of someone's shadow doesn't match them.

Sure, if you worship a deity that had a whole "sacred darkness" thing going on, that would completely change the meaning of the spell, even though it's identical to the arcane variant. So that being said, would that mean that magic has no inherent properties and is defined solely by will and belief?

I'd say no, they take entirely different paths to reach functionally identical effects.
