These are all the abilities in the skill of Shadowbinding.

Shadowveil

 CONSTRUCT SHADOWVEIL
 DECONSTRUCT SHADOWVEIL
 SHADOWVEILS
 SHADOWVEILS ON/OFF

Required commodities: 3 silver, 1 glass, 3 obsidian

This ability allows you to construct a shadowveil, which condenses Sukhder's energy, known as haze, into shadowgems. You can have a maximum of three shadowveils in the world. A newly created Defiler who chose the Defiler as his or her very first profession will have the ability to construct a shadowveil without using any commodities, but can only ever do this once.

The amount of haze generated by each shadowveil depends on the Sukhder's distance from the world, and on the distance of the three shadowveils from each other - the farther they are, the more haze they generate. You can use the SHADOWVEILS command to discover the distance of your existing shadowveils from your current location.

The SHADOWVEILS ON/OFF command is available to everyone, regardless of profession. It allows you to remove any shadowveils from the list of items displayed in the room.

Shadowgems

 GET SHADOWGEM FROM SHADOWVEIL
 SHADOWGEMS [WORN/ALL]

Shadowveils store the generated haze in small containers, known as shadowgems. Each shadowgem can hold up to 50,000 haze, and each shadowveil can contain up to 20 shadowgems. If a shadowveil fills up completely with gems, it will stop producing more.

Shadowgems can only be taken or used by their owner - it is not possible to share haze between Defilers in any way.

The SHADOWGEMS command displays all shadowgems in your inventory and in the relevant items (shadowrings, shadowtorcs, and shadowcrowns). SHADOWGEMS ALL includes items that hold no haze, and SHADOWGEMS WORN only shows haze in worn items.

Shadowring

 INSERT <shadowgem> INTO <shadowring>
 INSERT <amount> <shadowgem> INTO <shadowring>

To use the haze stored in shadowgems, the gems need to be placed into suitable containers and worn on one's body. Shadowrings are the most basic suitable container, capable of storing up to 3 shadowgems (150,000 haze).

In order to use the haze stored in a shadowring, it needs to be worn.
