Ooh, yes. Scary areas! Something dark and labyrinthine, where you can't even see the enemies and they loom out of the dark, half-visible. Excellent idea. Wish I'd thought of it myself.

- WorshipsMeridia I have an enemy idea for this: Cursed Shades. Basically souls that have been cursed to remain trapped in the mortal plane and must absorb the life forces of the living to maintain their existence. With a touch their prey dies immediately. But here's the catch: they can only remain tangible if nothing living is watching them. If they are watched they pass through their prey harmlessly and are easily killed. I got the inspiration from the Lonely Assassins.

I forgot to add: if you Soul Trap a Cursed Shade and use their soul to enchant something, the curse is destroyed and they go to the Soul Cairn. You can get unique items from freed Shades depending on what life they lead before death.
