One Shade. If (short pause as they consider softening it, but there's a line between being calm and being coddlingly condescending) I died on the way back to it, there would be only the recent one to find. My capabilities with Soul would be markedly limited, and it was uncomfortable to be without it.

I'm unaware if I would produce only the one, become the Lord of Shades, or separate, if it's to happen again.
