i know what i’m going to say is gonna sound weird, but vetex is actually just wrong here, no magic can be inherently evil unless it can only be used for evil, and shadow magic can absolutely be used for not only neutral actions, but good ones too. speaking of that as well, no magic is inherently good either, no object is. they have no soul, no conscience, no morals, even healing and life magic can be used for evil. these magics are no more than tools, and it is not the tool who decides the craft
Name one in-universe character who used shadow for good.
Name one in-universe character who used shadow for evil
the main character if you choose shadow magic, hero npcs can spawn with shadow, grandy navy npcs can spawn with shadow, and i’ll even do you one better, morden is using death for good (and he apparently had shadow magic before getting a curse according to a tester as well)
kraken and that’s it i think (acheron doesn’t count, he had like every magic)
Kraken, Maura’s staff,
To be fair, Kraken went insane
Silas, the silent
webcomic character unfortunately so they aren’t canon, but i suppose they are a theoretical example of how shadow can be used for good, as well as many other characters from the webcomic such as jack and commander rena
darn, i was thinking of the same guy
how does one convert solid form of water into dense carbon
Joe, the Momma.
Ice is a crystal, diamond is a crystal, it’s the same
Kraken
The ? means that it probably doesn’t
if Juniper from the AA webcomic could count then I would have said so
but there definitely is at least one person who has used(or tried to) shadow for good
In-lore characters who use shadow are always big fat meanies.
yeah but like there has to at least be one good shadow user out there
Statistically, but not to a point where the franchise can do that without that being their entire personality.
