An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : 134.155.108.49:8890 associated with source dataset(s)

The workings of a Shadow Field, and the locus that creates it, are indistinguishable from magic to all save the most skilled Commorite artisans. A Shadow Field locus has no obvious mechanical components, and no trigger mechanism. The bearer must will the device into life, and few races other than the Eldar have the strength of mind to do so.

  • The workings of a Shadow Field, and the locus that creates it, are indistinguishable from magic to all save the most skilled Commorite artisans. A Shadow Field locus has no obvious mechanical components, and no trigger mechanism. The bearer must will the device into life, and few races other than the Eldar have the strength of mind to do so. No two Shadow Field loci are exactly the same. One might be an amulet, another a ring. Sometimes the locus is built into another artefact, such as a vambrace, or the pommel of a sword. Regardless of appearance, however, a Shadow Field locus always contains a black crystal known to the Eldar as nisariel in the Eldar Lexicon. This name roughly translates to ‘devourer of the waking light’. It is an appellation well given, for a nisariel crystal drains all light from its immediate vicinity, and leaves only darkness. This is no ordinary gloom, but a shadow-veil possessing an almost tangible presence. Even if an enemy can make out the bearer’s form within the shroud, shots from energy weapons dissipate within the shadow, and physical projectiles lose all momentum. It is said that some Shadow Fields -- those generated by larger crystals -- could be manipulated by the wielder, and directed to strangle or smother his enemies.
