Etymology[]
A shadow is an area where direct light from a light source cannot reach due to obstruction by an object. It occupies all of the space behind an opaque object with light in front of it. To go with the light and dark theme of Final Fantasy IV, Shadowblade is associated with Dark Knight Cecil, Golbez, and Dark Kain.
