Despite being hindered by darkness, Kiliji Zykla have honed in the ability to embrace the shadows. Kiliji Zykla perhaps were the inspiration of the old childhood stories of the creatures that go bump in the night and question one's own sight. Harnessing the ability to manipulate shadows and darkness and optimizing it as a veil for stealth and nefarious deeds.

While Kiliji Zykla do not have the ability to heal or craft a means of shielded defense, they are capable of stealthy escape artists and great at catching their targets off guard. However, natural light, such as Solis' gaze or Luna's light are not a Kiliji Zykla's best friend, despite some of which being devotees of the Sun deity.

STRENGTH Shadows & Darkness found indoors or under the protection of thick foliage (IE: Forest Canopy), Or during an eclipse or night where the moon's light isn't as strong - preferably during the New Moon phase.

WEAKNESS Natural Light/Sunlight/Full Moon, Bloodforce Lumes render Kiliji Zykla abilities useless.

╰━━━━━━━━━━━━⋄✧✧⋄━━╯

Voidling
A small, shadow-like creature no larger than a mouse that the Kiliji Zykla can craft from their own shadow or a shadow that their shadow connects with. The form in which the voidling resembles is up to the Zykla! The pesky little voidling can be used as a small mute companion for company. Or often times, the voidling will be used for a more stealthy approach to pocket-pick or theft of objects the same size as the voidling. But be warned! The demise of the voidling comes at the hand of natural light or Zykla lumes.
[Duration: 30 minutes maximum. Distance: 5 feet from Kiliji Zykla Casting: 1 time in 24 hours]

Shadow Veil
Kiliji Zykla can also temporarily manifest a cloud of darkness to block out light in an enclosed small room/area. This can only be completed if the room is lit with a candle or other light source (Not natural light/Sunlight). This ability is often used to aid in their own escape or catch an intended target off guard. But, still leaves the Zykla vulnerable due to their own night vision problems. An escape route is recommended before utilizing this ability!
[Small Room: 10'x10' / 305cm x 305 cm Duration: 5 minutes maximum. Casting: 1 time in 24 hours]

Extension
To ensure they remain in the safety net that is the cover of shadow and darkness, the Kiliji Zykla can extend their own shadow to connect with another at a continuous cost. Although, they can not manipulate a shadow that is not in contact with their own.
[Duration: 30 minutes maximum.]

Shadow Shards
In addition to using shadows as a form of stealth, Kiliji Zykla have the ability to manifest and harness darkness into small sharp daggers known as Shadow Shards. Shadow Shards can only be summoned from a place of shadow or complete darkness and launched in direct line of sight toward the intended target with the intent of slicing through flesh. This includes the Kiliji Zykla's own shadow, so long as they position themselves strategically.

Unfortunately, Shadow Shards will diminish should the target step into natural light or suddenly cast a Lume (If the target is a Zykla).
[Number of projectiles: 3 - diminish 10 seconds after making contact]
