AI summary
Grants command over darkness and shadow, beginning with your own shadow and the natural shade it touches and expanding with practice, letting you form shadows into solid materials — blade-like tendrils being easiest — with growing complexity, added properties and the ability to hold shape without concentration. Your physical attributes are significantly boosted in shade, a boost that grows over time until even your baseline in daylight rises, you can snuff out or dampen light and eventually draw veils of night across the sky, and creatures of darkness defer to you, the weaker ones unquestioningly and stronger ones as your will grows. You gain a private shadow world for storing objects and creatures and for rapid travel between shadows — initially weighing on you if stored in your own shadow, though that eases with time — moonlight does not weaken you and you can generate it yourself, you see perfectly in total darkness, and the shadow world holds a bottomless reserve of energy cast off whenever magic is used anywhere, which you can spend to cast subtler shadow versions of any magic you acquire.

Effects
9Upon drinking the essence, you will gain the ability to command the ever-present darkness and shadows. Initially, your control will extend to only your own shadow and any natural shade that it connects to, but practice will expand your range.
You may form shadows into solid materials. Practice will increase the amount of properties you may add to them, as well as their complexity and ability to maintain form without concentration. The easiest thing to form is blade-like tendrils.
Your physical attributes will be boosted significantly whenever you are in the shade. Time will increase this boost, and eventually your baseline will increase even when in the light.
Your may snuff out and dampen any form of light in the area. Over time and with practice, you may draw veils of night across the sky.
All creatures associated with darkness will find themselves deferring to you. Weaker ones will obey you unquestioningly, and time, practice and effort will allow you to exert your will over more powerful ones.
You may store any objects and creatures inside a shadow world accessible only by you, through shadows. You may also use this world to quickly travel through shadows. At first, any objects stored in your own shadow will weigh down on you, but over time this will decrease. In addition, the shadow world may allow you to connect to other universes...
Moonlight will not weaken your powers, and you can generate it for yourself.
You can see perfectly even in total darkness.
The shadow world is filled with a bottomless reserve of energy, which is formed whenever magical energy is expended. You may use this cast-off byproduct to cast shadowy versions of any magic that you acquire, making it more subtle than the normal version.
