(Your specific augmentation must be physically visible in some way, but it does not need to make you appear outwardly monstrous or socially unacceptable. )

As Ethan steps into the Shadow Dimension, his eyes turn jet black, absorbing the endless void around him. His skin takes on a shadowy, ethereal quality, blending seamlessly with the darkness. Shadows swirl and merge with his body, elongating his limbs into fluid, morphing shapes. Shadowy tendrils extend from his form, giving him an otherworldly, menacing presence. In this state, known as Umbra Ascension, Ethan becomes a part of the shadows, moving effortlessly and striking with precision. The air grows cold and heavy, and an oppressive silence blankets the dimension, amplifying the fear and disorientation of those trapped within.
