Sometimes the denizens of these worlds find their way to realms the primal Amberites inhabit in Shadow. The theory is that each pattern in Shade contains a percentage of true pattern segments, reflecting the proximity to the reality of Amber. Practitioners of Sorcery from Shade kingdoms can become very powerful. Many can go toe to toe with those from the real Amber. The difference between Fiona of Amber and a Shade Fiona may be very small in practical terms and may matter even less if the Shade Fiona takes a disliking to someone. | Sometimes the denizens of these worlds find their way to realms the primal Amberites inhabit in Shadow.

− | The way such '''Shades''' are described is by a percentage of correlation and proximity to Amber. A Shade would be described as 97~90. This example says that a Shade has a 97% correlation meaning that the state of affairs, lineage, history, and physical features and structures, cultural developments, and diplomatic relations are 97% the same as the true Amber. it is also very close to Amber at 90% meaning natural laws, functioning magics and sorcery, and expected cosmological constants are | + | The way such '''Shades''' are described is by a percentage of correlation and proximity to Amber.

− | Shade Realms have sorcery of course, based on the patterns and sigils of their level. In conflict or cooperation with sorcery based on other patterns the important interaction is the percentages of the True Realm in contact. So a Shade Realm of 35% is weaker then one of 50%, of course. | + | Shade Realms have sorcery of course, based on the patterns and sigils of their level.
