Rofl great, I have a useless character lol oh well. I'll/she'll have to think of a way around that. Technicallyshe has no idea where her abilities come from. [s]They could or could not come from her. The shadow weave I suppose was derived from the forbidden realm or something like it. [/s]

They may or may not come from there, I never really decided. Would it be incredibly cheesy of me if I said  now  that they didn't? According to the forgotten realms lore, Shadow weave is less suited for magic that manipulates energy or matter. Whatever sort of magic she has within her, thats exactly what it does when activated. But it is a great reason why she would've been disowned from the clan her mother belonged to, along with the many other reasons to be disclosed in game ... if ever gotten to that point. It's not necessarily forbidden magic, but rather just from a dark place.
