I was reading Questlines and it made me think about shades and the first element. I don't think the first element is really darkness, it is space. For anything to exist in the 'real' sense, it must occupy something. Shades only appear like darkness elements because they are empty space. This also allows one to interpret the fear shock attack as sort of a nihilist attack on the soul. One sees how empty the universe and how insignificant one is. The cold attack could be from the shade expanding the victim. I know this sounds too physicsy, but it means fun for me. The real terror of space is the emptiness and how really nasty creatures just pop into existence, and then annihilate again. What's the consensus? ------------------------------
