Shade’s especially strong Spirit aura allows him access to a number of abilities. His aura is a greyish-black, interlaced with purple strips that dance around him. Whenever he uses an ability, his left eye glows deep purple, and the color emanates out from the eye in random patterns that change and re-form continuously. Using his abilities, the following are possible:
-Physical Aura manifestation: Macintosh’s aura is so strong he can remove it fully from his person, where it will manifest as three head sized orbs. These orbs are only semi-real, though they can be made fully solid with focus – this mean under usual circumstances, they deal damage to the psyche and soul of others, not their bodies. He can use these as relatively fast returning projectiles, a platform for "flight", passive protection (orbiting him and intercepting attacks), and whatever else he can think of doing with three large, hard to damage orbs that float around on his command.  
-auric siphon: via touch, can intake another’s aura. He starts gaining basic information on recent emotional experiences, thoughts, etc. while recharging his own aura, but can eventually absorb an entire person’s soul doing this. Never has, never plans to. 
-auric projection: via auric touch, can give his own aura away. Same as siphon, but reversed and with more control. He can share with another ideas, thoughts, and his own auric energy. He can also project single emotions or ideas with focus, and can do so at a range when manifesting his aura physically (though he must focus on the idea/emotion before splitting body and soul). Could theoretically try and possess the body of another with this, but has no idea what would happen to his own body once he transferred all of his soul. Mostly used to heal allies or debuff opponents.
-Auric Sight: can see the auras of others, often gaining basic information about them – sickness, mood, and magical abilities often factor into the appearance of one’s aura on any given day, though their effects on the aura overlap with one another (depression and apathy are quite similar, as is the intensity of a magic user’s aura and the flame of intensity). For him, it’s the same as reading a face, which is good since he’s almost entirely face blind and would otherwise be incapable of recognizing others.  

Working with one’s own spirit is a dangerous prospect, in general. While it gives Shade access to very powerful abilities, mis-use and miscalculation can leave him quickly weakened or in grave danger. Taking damage to the spirit is far more dangerous and difficult to repair than normal injuries: the only way to fix a damaged soul is with extensive rest, or by siphoning from willing targets. And obviously, his spirit orbs are definitely damageable – about 5 bullets from a conventional handgun would be the maximum they could take before he started to take damage. If his body is killed while his soul is manifested, he will become a ghost, half a being forever, stuck both in the afterlife and on earth.

Edward is trained in Muy Thai, and usually fights either barehanded or with a 6’ staff, relying on agility and his powers instead of brute force.
