...do you all want shadow magic to be an option? I was reading up on Dragonstar in uesp lore and I saw it mentioned there.

Here's a snippet

Spoiler

Shadow Magic is an obscure but powerful form of magic. It was first harnessed by Azra Nightwielder, who was the first to discover that shadow was not simply an absence of light, but a reflection of possible worlds created by forces in conflict. Shadows can be produced by mundane forces such as light hitting a rock, or by more powerful forces such as nations at war. Shadow Magic involves the manipulation of shadows to affect the forces creating it.[1] In this way, Shadow Magic rivals even the power of the Elder Scrolls themselves, having the power to potentially change the past, present, and future through the manipulation of shadow. Shadow Magic is common around the Hammerfell-Skyrim-High Rock border, but is rarely used elsewhere.

Sounds like something an evil character would use. Interesting. I'd like that.

As cool as it sounds though, it seems like a new spell-casting metric like shouting, perhaps it would be better in a future iteration of TES. Idk I am kind of torn on this one, because its description inthe lore is pretty awesome with some negative consequences.

Ahhh yes Shadowmagic. It was in the game Shadowkey wasn't it? I never played the game but it would be interesting to see how shadow magic would implemented.

Seems to me the TG and Dark Brohood would be all over this like ugly on an ape.

Morag Tong and Shadowscales ought to be a natural fit for this as well.

In fact.....................there's an implication of Nocturnal's involvement, as well as Azura's.

I agree with Artist Of War - this could be a central part of TES6.
