The canonical name for the living dark energy that makes up any sort of dark magic that is cast. Truly a terrifying name for such a cool material. Does anyone else know of other equally grandiose names for other highly important elements in DND lore?
I had to look up shadowstuff. I am familiar with necrotic/negative energy, and personally consider the Shadowfell to be an extension of it, but alright the latter has its own stuff, or it did in previous editions.
What I have seen mentioned here and there in 5e is that Limbo is made of "chaos-stuff" that will temporarily transform into other things, either spontaneously or under the will of a creature. Cool concept but the name is indeed on the silly side.
I just remembered something especially ridiculous, that happens to also be shadow-themed.
You know how the Shadowfell echoes every place found on the Material? Well, that includes the Underdark. It is already fun to think about the Underdark of the Shadowfell, lot of darkness and lowliness there, but 4e named it the Shadowdark. I guess it was better than calling it the Underfell, or maybe not.
