Shadowsphere

The Shadowsphere is an artifact in Heretic. It looks like an ethereal green sphere with a face. Activating the Shadowsphere temporarily gives the player the Heretic ghost attribute, becoming translucent and gaining immunity to non-magical attacks (Such as the Firemace's attacks). It also decreases the likelihood of idle monsters noticing the player, and causes their aim to become erratic.

Strategies

 * The Shadowsphere will make the player invulnerable to the axes thrown by Undead Warriors, so it is particularly useful when facing them. Note that the Undead Warrior's melee axe will still cause damage. In deathmatch, the player using this will be invulnerable to a firemace, the staff, and the pheonix rod unless the phoenix rod is powered up.
