"Ah. The one thing I cannot teach." *I shake my head, a grim look on my face* "I do not use the shadows, I am the shadows themselves, given life and breath." *I gesture widely* "All shadows are connected, they are a part of the great darkness beyond. I use that connection to move from one shadow to the next. I will help you learn to use the shadows, but do not expect to suddenly be falling into the darkness. That alone is my curse. Next question."
