Discord
Merged shadow caster that controls the fight
Role
The Discord has no weapon but carries all three rare powers: Backlash, Lock, and Thrall. It can burn an enemy caster's energy, hold a unit in place, or take one enemy permanently. Keep it rare and keep it guarded, because losing it usually loses the fight.
Look
It uses the Chord shape but in a dark glass, with two large dark kites floating apart around a small alloy core. A single long shadow-glass blade hangs below off-centre, with light running only along the inner edges.
