Shades are humans possessed by spirits. They are similar to sorcerers in that both use spirits in order to accomplish magical tasks, but are different in that, while a sorcerer controls the spirits he uses, a Shade either gives up his mind and body to a spirit, or is overpowered by one and has no control over his actions. Shades are immensely powerful, and only two beings have ever succeeded in destroying one; an elf and a Dragon Rider . The only way a Shade can be killed is to be pierced through the heart; otherwise it will merely reappear elsewhere and return stronger than before. The only notable Shade in Eragon is Durza . It is unknown whether there are any other Shades in Alagaësia at the time of the book, though Paolini did say that it was possible that another Shade might turn up. No new Shades had appearances in Eldest , though Durza was often discussed. |
