Exploring the footwork catalog, my attention was drawn to one in particular that seemed to have similarities with the Shadow Sword I had just acquired. This footwork was called "Shadow Leap," classified as grade 4. The skill's description further piqued my interest, as it promised the ability to conceal oneself within surrounding shadows, especially if one had a high affinity with darkness.
According to the description, the higher my affinity with darkness, the more effective the ability would be to hide in the shadows of my surroundings. However, it also warned that prolonged use of this ability would quickly deplete my mana reserves. Though the description hinted at the skill's usefulness for stealth or discreet surveillance, the last part about the possibility of silently eliminating someone made me contemplate the darker side of this ability.
