  Ephemeral body: Shadows take half damage from all 
  attacks and regenerate two hit points every turn, they 
  never suffer wounds
  Shadowmerge: Shadows can merge their attackers 
  with the ground or walls as an unarmed attack. This 
  sticks their attacker in place and requires a strength roll 
  at -6 to break free
  Shadowsword: Shadows can form their bodies into 
  weaponry splitting a pool of 18 points between damage, 
  penetration and armour damage at will

  Dream and Entity
   
  ❚
  Whether the strange effect of The Dream or the 
  things it spawns can truly be called alive is a matter of 
  debate between scientists and Ebb users. In practical 
  terms it does not matter if they are alive or not as they 
  move, talk, distort reality and can kill you with a little 
  effort.
  The Dream mostly limits itself to manifestations of 
  a hallucinatory or reality altering type but, on occasion 
  seems to prefer to embody free-roaming parts of itself 
  to take its madness over the Cannibal Sector under 
  their own direction.
  Several of the more common of these manifesta-
  tions have been documented and recorded by media 
  teams and Ebb using Operatives at work within the 
  sector, though all evidence that they have collected 
  has been confiscated, d-noticed and handed over to 
  Dark Lament under the direct supervision of Preceptor 
  Teeth.
  The very sight of most of these manifestations is 
  enough to send even seasoned Operatives into fits 
  of terror and incomprehension. There is simply some-
  thing ‘wrong’ at the most basic level with the things The 
  Dream spawns into the world and it may also be re-
  sponsible for the Ebb diseases and Ebb creatures that 
  have been found within Cannibal Sector One.
  Dream Entity: Shadow

  A distortion in the light, a flickering of helmet lights 
  or the snuffing of a hearth fire and they are there. Elon-
  gated looking shadows that twist and dance and writhe 
  against the walls and floor wherever light is cast or all 
  around if there is no light. Shadows are often felt rather 
  than seen, an echo of childhood fear of the dark and a 
  feeling that ‘something’ is out there, in the corner or the 
  closet, waiting for someone to get unwary before they 
  strike. Shadows seem to shape their own substance in 
  order to strike and attack in the same way as a Veva-
  phon but with the additional power to distort matter and 
  space, to get people merged with solid objects or stuck 
  in the ground while the Shadow itself is able to flit from 
  place and shadow to shadow.
  SLA continues to flatly deny the existence of such 
  things in the Cannibal Sector One and both Dark Find-
  ers and Stigmartyr have been involved in making sure 
  that strange rumours do not circulate among Opera-
  tives.
