Shadow -- Photonic Absorption
Principle: Reconverts incident photons into dissipated Flux, creating zones of total visible light absorption. The process is irreversible — photonic energy dissipates into the quantum vacuum, in accordance with Primic’s Law.
Strengths:
- Total optical stealth (camouflage, invisibility).
- Disrupts optical sensors and visual perception.
- Area concealment.
Weaknesses:
- No effect on non-optical sensors (thermal, sonar, radar).
- Directly countered by the Light school.
- Ineffective in total darkness (no photons to absorb).
