: Why? Why they (MJ) didn't simple made him normal ghost?
: Why SHADE? I think Olorin's right (I still doubt if
: 'tis not just another mistake (like Mjarin being the
: Leveller), but Olorins' words make sense).
: P.S. Shade is supposed to be a corpse of a magi raised by
: necromancy, not just spirit of a dead mage.
Why a shade? Don't ask me, I'm not MJ. Mb they just didn't want to make an entirely new thing, and the idea of a "ghost" doesn't really seem to fit in with the whole Myth thing. Mb they overlooked the possibility that anything that was dead could be up and about without being undead. Mb they're just stupid. Who knows?
Doom
Post Scriptum: Necromancy is talking to dead spirits, not raising dead bodies. Don't get sucked into the whole Diablo 2 idea, because it's a fictional video game. It is not supposed to be a good source of mythological evidence.
