Shadow damage

Usage

 * Shadow damage is a damage type caused by some necromancer skills.
 * Shadow damage is neither physical nor elemental damage.
 * Skills that cause shadow damage ignore armor.
 * Nothing protects specifically against Shadow damage.
 * Global damage reduction, from equipment with damage reduction bonuses or enchantments such as Aura of the Lich, does reduce shadow damage.
