Shade

Shade is one of the eight Mana Spirits in the Mana series. Typically appearing as a cyclops bat-like demon with claw-like projections surrounding his eye, Shade represents the element of darkness and shadow. As such, his powers include manipulation of so-called dark matter as well as negating various magic supports. His arsenal may also include status-altering abilities as added effects of his core skills.

Befitting his element, Shade is frequently portrayed as dark and brooding. He is not always evil, but perceives himself as possessing superior power versus the other Spirits, often choosing to test would-be summoners with demonstrations of his might. He uses various dark creatures to accomplish these feats.
