Elemental Shadow

It is a specialized target whose useful context is the exact chain that produces and consumes it; do not infer an unlock tier from the name alone.

When it fits: Use it for a Shadow/cross-plane objective once its source access is confirmed.

The tradeoff: One source recipe run makes 1 and lists 1 Mote of Shadow, 1 Aether at Elemental Binder; 2 recipe variant(s) for this output are grouped together. Verify access where the pack is incomplete. The recipe relationship does not establish plane access or a stable bootstrap; inspect the required inputs and selection rules.
