Shadow:

• Your Risen does have a Shadow, whether it be banished to the Conduit or in control of her body.
• The Shadow should be created in accordance with the rules for Shadow creation in Wraith, with an Archetype, Temporary and Permanent Angst scores (house rule: 0 and 4), Dark Passions, Thorns and 10 freebie points.
• Certain Thorns, such as Tainted Relic and Shadow Call, are inapplicable in the Skinlands. Others (Trick of the Light and Devil's Dare, in particular) acquire new power in the lands of the living, and can be devastating when the Shadowguide chooses to employ them.
