Shadowwright

A hunched keeper in a moth-eaten robe who carries ward candles on a pole. It does not fight with its hands: it lights a candle and works the shadows the candle throws - including yours. A strong light from anywhere else drowns its candle's shadows and leaves it helpless.

How it fights

It plants a ward candle and a shadow-hand rises out of the head of your own shadow. Then the hand follows you - along the exact path you walked, a moment behind. Stop, or turn back over your own tracks, and it catches you. Keep moving until the candle gutters out.

Where to find it
