       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Shadow Stones: Shadow stones are rare crystals similar to black
       diamonds in appearance but much blacker. These stones are a rare
       result of primordial darkness that was used in the creation of
       the Shadow Realm. These stones were created by an unknown
       process and have an infinite source of power meaning the stones
       never need to be recharged. They are extremely hard to find
       after the Creation was created which scattered these stones
       across the Shadow Realm and the Living Realm, and those who know
       how to find them are just as rare as the stones and will never
       willingly reveal their secret stash if located.

       abilities and physical attributes of a death wraith while
       maintaining use of their natural abilities. This includes death
       wraith elemental abilities. [I]Note:[/I] This does not grant the
       user the knowledge of death wraith specialized techniques or
       special abilities of “noble” warrior families such as
       Shadowclaw, Shadow, and Black. User must be trained in death
       wraith special techniques in order to use them. User does gain

       death wraiths.
       Shadow Werebeast Form: Shadow stones are coveted by many death
       wraith males for the stone’s ability to grant their race the
       ability to transform into a false werebeast. This werebeast form
       is always in the humanoid beast form of a shadow beast that is
       the user’s “spirit animal”. The werebeast form is 5 times more
       powerful than the user’s normal form and up to 3 feet taller
       with matching weight increase. The user is still able to use all
       elemental abilities, but can not control death-force energy. The
       user also develops a monstrous aura rich in fear and rage
       energies and can be strengthened or healed by fear and rage
       energies. The user also develops all special abilities of the
       shadow beast that is their werebeast form. Death wraith men
       covet these stones because the werebeast form allows for quick
       release of excess male hormones during use of ability.
       [I]Weaknesses:[/I] This form lowers the user’s intelligence,
       wisdom, and mental defenses by 35%.
