"Piercing Shadow"

[Thicky-Nicki]

Unique to Selius only is it? According to the free content update patch notes, "Shadow" is a new type of element? How does it differ from dark? And I wonder if we'll see more "shadow" spells in the future? Its also the only beam that pierces? I find this spell fascinating. Especially when I thought it was a dark spell, but yet it damages dark type. So therefore it really is a new element type entirely?

But also confusing, at the same time can someone also tell me; with some characters comes stats that increase "spell charges" so like it says does this increase spell charges? Like "Dark spell charge increase" so could I shoot more dark projectiles? Then usual??? Yet this doesn't apply to Piercing Shadow since it is a different element type than dark?

I assume it's just a compound element, like Death + Ice, although I'm unsure, but it would explain it damaging Death-immune enemies.

Or perhaps it's just Death but ignoring elemental resistances, or just plain physical? Who knows, it'd be tough to test.

Yea, I've just always wondered. Thanks for the reply! I suppose I'll continue testing some stuff!

Yeah, biggest difference between shadow and dark is that Piercing Shadow spell goes through enemies, leaving freezing effects and damage on its targets.

And the increase of spell charges mean that the spell specific tab under your health will increase for the specific type of spells. This of course gives you the ability to launch more spells in total before running out of juice.

Oh thanks for the reply that clarifies things!
