Shade class

Shade Class is one of the five subject taught at the convent of Sweet Mercy, along with Mystic class, Blade class, Academia class, and Path class. Novices learn skills particularly useful to Grey Sisters, such as espionage, stealth, disguise, discretion, trickery, and especially poisons. The mistress is Sister Apple, known as the Poisoner. In Red Class, she focuses almost exclusively on poisons and antidotes, but also vigilance which she teaches by constantly trying to poison her students; no new novice escapes being poisoned in their first class. At later levels, novices with Marjal traits learn to use Shadow-Weaving. When novices reach Mystic Class, there is a special trial called the Shade Trial.
