| rdfs:comment | - The Plane of Shadow is a plane of existence that pervades the Material Plane. It is a world of black and white, as though color itself has been bleached from the environment. The Plane of Shadow may be accessed and manipulated from the Material Plane through shadows. Spells cast with the Shadow Weave make use of the substance of this plane in their casting. Since some creatures use the Plane of Shadow to travel from place to place, it is often described as a transitive plane (like the Astral Plane and Ethereal Plane).
- The Plane of Shadow is a dimly lit dimension that is both coterminous to and coexistent with the Material Plane. It overlaps the Material Plane much as the Ethereal Plane does, so a planar traveler can use the Plane of Shadow to cover great distances quickly. The Plane of Shadow is also coterminous to other planes. With the right spell, a character can use the Plane of Shadow to visit other realities. Despite the dark nature of the Plane of Shadow, spells that produce, use, or manipulate darkness are unaffected by the plane.

| abstract | - The Plane of Shadow is a dimly lit dimension that is both coterminous to and coexistent with the Material Plane. It overlaps the Material Plane much as the Ethereal Plane does, so a planar traveler can use the Plane of Shadow to cover great distances quickly. The Plane of Shadow is also coterminous to other planes. With the right spell, a character can use the Plane of Shadow to visit other realities. The Plane of Shadow is a world of black and white; color itself has been bleached from the environment. It is otherwise appears similar to the Material Plane. Despite the lack of light sources, various plants, animals, and humanoids call the Plane of Shadow home. The Plane of Shadow is magically morphic, and parts continually flow onto other planes. As a result, creating a precise map of the plane is next to impossible, despite the presence of landmarks. The Plane of Shadow has the following traits.
* Magically morphic. Certain spells modify the base material of the Plane of Shadow. The utility and power of these spells within the Plane of Shadow make them particularly useful for explorers and natives alike.
* Mildly neutral-aligned.
* Enhanced magic. Spells with the shadow descriptor are enhanced on the Plane of Shadow. Such spells are cast as though they were prepared with the Maximize Spell feat, though they don’t require the higher spell slots. Furthermore, specific spells become more powerful on the Plane of Shadow. Shadow conjuration and shadow evocation spells are 30% as powerful as the conjurations and evocations they mimic (as opposed to 20%). Greater shadow conjuration and greater shadow evocation are 70% as powerful (not 60%), and a shades spell conjures at 90% of the power of the original (not 80%).
* Impeded magic. Spells that use or generate light or fire may fizzle when cast on the Plane of Shadow. A spellcaster attempting a spell with the light or fire descriptor must succeed on a Spellcraft check (DC 20 + the level of the spell). Spells that produce light are less effective in general, because all light sources have their ranges halved on the Plane of Shadow. Despite the dark nature of the Plane of Shadow, spells that produce, use, or manipulate darkness are unaffected by the plane.
- The Plane of Shadow is a plane of existence that pervades the Material Plane. It is a world of black and white, as though color itself has been bleached from the environment.

Since some creatures use the Plane of Shadow to travel from place to place, it is often described as a transitive plane (like the Astral Plane and Ethereal Plane). The plane is highly morphic, so buildings and geographical features are often different from their Material Plane counterparts. As such, this plane is often used as a "storage" area by those who do not want something to be openly seen. In some areas like the city of Mulsantir, the boundary between the planes is thin, and portals frequently manifest at night. Though the Plane of Shadow is not itself evil, it is populated by a number of foul creatures who hate the light and the living, such as the fearsome nightwalkers.
