#shadow charmer

Prompt: Make a short comic from the book

but what makes a witch different from a shadow charmer exactly? why are shadow charmers rarer? Borrowing power from a demon essentially entrusts a person with dark magic and that means witches are therefore dark-aligned beings like shadow charmers they may have different abilities from shadow charmers but as we have seen with the singing sisters, who have untold knowledge/foresight, they aren’t always less powerful than shadow charmers so what’s so great about being a shadow charmer then? Here’s my theory: when witches choose to follow a demon and use their powers, they choose to give up every aspect that makes them light, and in turn, lose their sense of self and corrupting so they can take on the power that’s bestowed to them, similarly to demons When something becomes a shadow charmer, they do not lose their sense of self as they aren’t exactly demonkind, but still a creature of night. Being a shadow charmer doesn’t change the creature’s morals or character, yet still provides access to demon-like powers. The creature is dark but not necessarily corrupted (However, most of them were known to be evil until Seth came along) The reason it’s easier to become a witch than a shadow charmer is probably because the process of becoming dark-aligned without corrupting the creature in question is hard for demons to preform This might be because demons often are made when a creature corrupts, so it’d be hard to tap into a demons powers without corrupting. But if shadow charmers are granted powers that aren’t from the demon directly, but more of a general dark-aligned creature, then they won’t corrupt.

So, for my fablehaven fic I'm trying to piece together all of the powers for things. Such as being fairykind, fairystruck, shadow charmer, etc...

And I'm asking that if you know or remember anything please tell me in the comment area or reblog or whatever 'cause I wanna make sure that everything is actually consistent

And if that means overhauling Canon to make sure that everything actually aligns and nothing is randomly changed or a piece of information is suddenly available? So be it. Since whilst I don't remember a whole lot of dragonwatch (which probably won't be included, I may change my mind on that though).

I do remember that a lot of stuff just, changed. And some stuff got revealed, and yeah. So, assistance would be appreciated!

So we all know how Seth gives up his shadow charming powers. A lot of people were upset about that. But think about if you were him. A lot of trouble in his life came up because he was a shadow charmer. If he had never talked to Graulas, Coulter would still be alive. If he wasn't a shadow charmer, Ronodin most likely wouldn't have kidnapped him to train him. If he wasn't a shadow charmer, Wyrmroost would most likely still be standing. If he wasn't a shadow charmer, he would have never met the Underking. He also never had a choice about becoming a shadow charmer. I do believe he made it pretty clear to Graulas that he didn't want to be a shadow charmer. (""...Better to complete what was started. Darkness has touched you, much as light has embraced your sister." "This sounds shady," Seth hedged, backing away. Did he really want favors from a dying demon?... Seth covered his eyes for a moment. "I didn't give you permission to do that!" He regarded the demon somberly. "I'm scared that coming here was a huge mistake."") And when he pulled the nail from the revenant started his abilities. And it marked him deeper when the nail was destroyed.
