Yes, the name is particularly melodramatic. As I was writing up this Shade Nethermancer the layers of creepiness jut got thicker and thicker. The Nethermancer wizard variant is one of two featured in the Heroes of Shadow; the other being the Necromancer. The nethermancer is a fun idea, manipulating shadows and creating zones. For her second school I went with enchantment to further enhance her mind control abilities. Like the Vryloka, the shade amounts to a funny looking almost human rather than a real race, and again they're best used for their background elements in my opinion.

This character is actually the one I put the most thought into. Among her powers are two cantrips that enable her to use Arcana in place of an Intimidate or Diplomacy check, which I like to think of as her manipulating the shadows to terrify her target into submission. The creepiness inspired me. In addition to the fun powers, I gave the character the Arcane Familiar feat from Arcane Power and selected the Arcane Eye from the Dragon magazine article on familiars. A skull mask completes her look.

I'd recommend this character for folks that are looking for non combat solutions and lots of roleplaying opportunities. For an added bit of irony, I made her lawful good.
