'MARK OF SHADOW' Syntax: automatic (use THROW or ASSASSINATE to apply) Shadows learn to inflict their targets with calamitous wounds, disrupting their concentration and causing the victim to take more damage from all sources. This affect accumulates as the target is hit by more shurikens. Attacking a new target will remove ALL previous marks of shadow, as will using the "shadow spear" ability on them (which requires it to be "max"). Mark of shadow can be a useful source of both ki and mana regen. It allows some ki regen to take place when it is normally blocked by skill usage, and it increases the mana conversion of each ki-using ability. Mark of shadow stacks up to ten times, but can also reach its zenith instantly by using the ASSASSINATE skill on the target. Marks of shadow may be shaken off by using WORD OF RECALL or TELEPORT.
