A Shade is an ectoplasmic entity summoned from the Underworld by a Necromancer. They usually appear as a ghostly shadow of a person, and provide a link to that person's soul and memories. Shades are challenging to contain, and can possess living people. When summoning them, Necromancers often prepare elaborate wards and defenses, sometimes even employing guards.

Shade Possession

When a Shade posses a living person, that person takes on some of the appearances of the dead, such as hair and eye color. If the shade had in life a similar build to the person they are possessing, those who do not know the individual may easily mistake them for the shade.
