Using the Shadow Weave

The secrets that the Shadow Weave were based upon were disquieting, maddening and otherwise dangerous to the mortal mind. A spellcaster who wanted to manipulate the Shadow Weave had to make some sort of arrangement with a patron deity capable of granting them the ability to do so, otherwse risked permanently losing a piece of the mind.
The Shadow Weave is best suited for dark magic, that drains life of muddles the mind and the senses, but is less suited for magic that manipulates energy or matter. Spells from the schools of enchantment, illusion and necromancy are enchanced, while those from the shcools of evocation and transmutation are impaired. The Shadow Weave was also superior for fueling spells that created darkness, while it was impossible to use it to create light of any kind.
