Acting like a seed for a mundane crystal, the user holds an item significantly associated with their knowledge and experiences to themselves as they crystallize related ideas into physical form. These crystals visibly coalesce around the user while this is taking effect. While the possible candidates for a "principal memory" to serve as a seed are as varied as the experiences of the user, mementos of previous or current Contracts produce results much more readily.
While this does not impact any normal functionality of this "principal memory", any item used in such a way will appear slightly vitrified and translucent, and reflect light somewhat readily: this continues after all of the "vitrified memories" lose coherence from proximity or destruction. This appears to bring them to the level of a Contract-associated "principal memory".
Inspecting an individual "vitrified memory" from the cloud shows a reflection of some facet of the concept, often the user's personal memories of such. Appearing like anomalously-floating crystal glass from a distance, the varied reflections betray their status as solidified ideas with durability to match.
This application cannot subdivide beyond a single diffuse cloud, though can be shaped into rough forms while diffuse and temporarily fused into a solid glass object. When not explicitly structured, these tend to stay either generally diffuse or in an approximation of their contents: a "principal memory" associated with gardening would tend to floral motifs, for example. Those motifs are - more often than not - reflected in the form they would take when condensed to a single solid form.
Sufficient disruption of physical integrity or a lack of anchoring cognizance in proximity breaks the physical forms apart, returning them to pure memories that lack the spark to be given physical form for a while.

Upon activation of the Shadow Form, a profound transformation takes place. The individual's physical appearance undergoes a dark metamorphosis, as if being submerged in an otherworldly abyss. Their silhouette becomes ethereal, shrouded in an inky, black mist that seems to pulsate with an inner energy. This transformative state lasts for a duration of 30 minutes. The individual's physical strength is visibly enhanced, with a subtle but noticeable increase in muscular definition. Large, black scars radiate smoky tendrils on their back, a visual testament to the power's influence. These scars serve as a permanent mark, even in their normal state. The individual's attire transforms into something reminiscent of gothic, Bloodborne-inspired clothing. Two imposing, large black smoky great swords protrude from their body, emerging from the scars. The scars replace traditional scabbards, adding an ominous and formidable aspect to their appearance.
