RangedEdit
Ranged shades use some of the void mage class abilities.

- A basic ranged ability that deals low Oblivion damage.
- Grasping Tendrils
- The enemy kneels down and puts their hand outward, shooting magical tendrils from them, indicated by a red cone, dealing low Oblivion damage and stunning affected targets (Break Free can be used). Not breaking away from the stun and letting it complete also applies a three second snare afterward.
MeleeEdit
Melee shades use all of the feral class abilities.

- Devastating Leap
- The enemy leaps at the target, staggering them. The attack is blockable.
Specific to shades summoned by Maebroogha the Void Lich in Vateshran Hollows:
- Void Trap
- Maebroogha summons shades all around the platform's perimeter during battle. They are all connected by a Void Tether, which immediately kills you if you touch it. You must kill one of the shades to create an opening in the ring of energy. When the shades reach the center of the platform, they explode, killing you instantly if you fail to escape in time.
