Editing Planescape (section)

====Plane of Shadow====
This plane is similar to the Ethereal Plane in terms of proximity to the Prime Material plane, and the properties caused by said proximity, but the similarities end there. The Plane of Shadow is pretty much a dark and distorted mirror of the Prime Material plane. It is devoid of color and natural light, torches and the like are dimmer, and even portals to other planes seem obnoxiously colorful from this dark place. Basically the plane of shadow is just a gloomier spookier version of your neighborhood. While it's useful for travel in the same manner as the Etherial Plane such methods are risky as the Plane of Shadow is populated by dangerous creatures and shadow-thingies. Plus the landmarks are not always consistent. However, the Plane of Shadow can potentially be used to travel to other material planes. The reason why this is possible is because if the Planescape cosmology was a Great Wheel, then the Plane of Shadow would be its axle, as well as the axle of other cosmologies.  However, prior to 3rd edition, the Plane of Shadow was merely a demiplane within the Deep Ethereal.  It served as a collision of positive and negative energies, creating a strange dimension of twilight.
