Shadow Magic is a vastly broad term, and has a variety of definitions.

Spiritual Shadow Magic
Spritual Shadow Magic, arguably the most known definition of Shadow magic, is a spiritual magic drawing from the darkness and shadow of the universe. It is considered the opposite of Light Magic, a spiritual magic drawn from the Holy Light, a divine force of the universe. Whilst also considered the opposite of Light Magic, it is also considered an evil magic used for evil, though this is not entirely true for it can be used for good.

Whilst magic drawn from the Holy Light is most known for its healing, Shadow magic also has the ability to heal.

Unlike Light magic, Shadow magic does not derive from a divine force such as the Holy Light, rather simply the spiritual darkness and shadow.

It is most often used by Shadow Priests and Rogues.

Arcane Shadow Magic
Arcane Shadow Magic is but simply a type of magic used by Magi and other Arcane Magic casters. This form of Shadow magic is not spiritual at all, more so simply using the Arcane to create shadows, though it is expansive enough to be an entire separate definition of Shadow magic.
