: This incorrect. The TFL manual refers to Shades as the
: reanimated corpses of long-dead sorcerors. I'm
: guessing that since they retain their memories and
: skills, attempts to convert good sorcerors won't work,
: and there may be a way to convert the freshly killed
: if you kill them in some ritualistic fashion.
Hrm. It seems that with all this contradictory evidence, Shades are simply self-willed, avataran undead. They can be recently dead or very old, they can be willingly turned to the dark or forcefully ressurected, whatever.
