Created when Katarina Novak merged Choctaw shadow rituals with golem creation magic through a bloody ceremony sacrificing both European and Native American ritual objects, binding the resulting shadow being permanently to her will.

Exists as semi-corporeal shadow matter that phases through objects but requires periodic consumption of written knowledge. Its ink-dripping tendril fingers extract information from minds or parchment. Weak to iron and consecrated silver, it leaves a scent of burnt clay and sage.

Serves as the Arcane Seekers' primary infiltrator of protected mystical sites, specializing in stealing golem secrets from both Jewish and indigenous spiritual traditions under cover of darkness.
