The audience was at a loss for words. They couldn't believe it, but there was no helping it—the explanation was already quite substantial.
The Shadow Escape ability was extremely important, especially for the Light Faction. It can be said that if it were successfully researched, many more players would choose Ancient Elves from the Light Faction.
This talent was indeed powerful. Just like the Undead—who are so ugly they could explode and many of whom are just skeletons—there were still a great many players who chose them. Why? Because of the Undead's racial ability to break free from spirit-type control effects.
It was equivalent to the effects of a Faction Badge and, moreover, the Undead could disregard the need for underwater breathing, being the only race that wouldn't die without potions underwater.
