Shade Soul

Function
Unleash a more powerful spirit

Press FOCUS/CAST or QUICK CAST without holding UP or DOWN to launch a projectile that passes through enemies and deals damage. The projectile will now penetrate all objects in its path including walls and invulnerable parts of enemies, such as a shield or shell, but will not damage a fully protected enemy.

Modifiers

 * Flukenest turns the Shade Soul into a horde of black baby flukes that bounce around dealing damage.
 * When combined with Defender's Crest, launches a single large fluke that explodes into a damage-dealing cloud of gas.


 * Shaman Stone increases the width of the projectile and the damage dealt by 33%


 * Spell Twister lowers the SOUL cost to cast Shade Soul to 24% of your SOUL meter.

How to Acquire
Upgrade to Vengeful Spirit. Requires purchasing the Elegant Key from Sly in Dirtmouth.

The spell is located behind a locked door in Soul Sanctum within the City of Tears. Requires defeating a Soul Warrior that continuously spawns Folly enemies.

Trivia

 * There is an unused version of Shade Soul that consists of a mixture between a black Shade Soul and a white Vengeful Spirit much like how Abyss Shriek combines black souls with white Howling Wraiths.
 * Shade Soul is obtained from a Snail Shaman linked to some kind of machine. This implies that the researchers of the Soul Sanctum were experimenting on the Shamans' natural ability to use Soul.
 * The tendrils that come out of The Knight's back are similar to those seen on the Knight's Shade at the end of the Radiance fight.
