'''Shades''' are a part of the [[Inheritance trilogy]] by [[Christopher Paolini]].
{{spoiler}}
Shades are humans possessed by spirits. They're similar to sorcerers in that they both use spirits in order to accomplish magical tasks but the difference is that a sorcerer controls the spirits he uses while a Shade either gives up his mind and body to a spirit or is overpowered by one and has no control over his actions. Shades are immensely powerful, and only two beings have ever succeded in destroying one; an elf and a [[Dragon Rider]]. The only way a shade can be killed is to pierce their heart; otherwise they'll merely reappear elsewhere and return stronger than before. The only notable shade in [[Eragon]] is [[Durza]]. It is unknown whether there are any other shades in Alagaesia at the time of the book, though Paolini did say that it was possible that another shade might turn up. No new Shades were seen in Eldest, though Durza was often discussed.
