Shadowblades attune their senses, and eventually their own body, to the plane
of shadows. This attunement allows them to infuse their attacks with shadow
energy, dealing increased damage whenever they or their targets are fading
between planes.
The shadow strike skill increases damage dealt by up to 20% if the shadowblade
itself is fading, and up to 50% if its target is fading. These damage bonuses
stack and are proportional to the chances of fading (max at 50% fade chance).
Neither bonus applies when striking a target on the shadow plane (which may
occur when using dimensional blade or chaos-fading).
The shadow body skill grants a 15% chance to fade through incoming attacks.
