An Isekai Story

The Laboratories of Shadowmancy: Located in the Citadel's lower levels, these magically warded laboratories are where the Obsidian Order's sorcerers conduct their dark research and develop their shadow magic. The air is thick with arcane fumes, and the flickering light of enchanted braziers illuminates cluttered workbenches covered in strange ingredients, obsidian shards, and arcane diagrams etched in shadow ink. Bound shadow elementals sometimes writhe within magically contained circles. The sorcerers, often cloaked and gaunt, perform intricate rituals and experiment with the manipulation of shadow energy. Failed experiments can result in bursts of uncontrolled shadow magic or the summoning of minor shadow creatures. Access to these volatile laboratories is strictly controlled, and only those deeply devoted to the study of shadowmancy are permitted entry.

The laboratories are dimly lit, with walls lined in dark stone and adorned with arcane symbols. Cluttered workbenches are strewn with bizarre ingredients, and the atmosphere is charged with a palpable sense of danger and intrigue.
