IC, he's still going to be pretty doubtful shadows are her thing, but he can try teaching her a few very minor shadow construct tricks. It takes a lot of, well, not screaming or freaking out, basically, and at least an in-game month to manage (since that's how I paced out my own spells - hell, I haven't even updated his own chart to include the last item on his list yet).

OOC, finish out the Foster thread first since that's what leads her to RM. Then you can hit up his inbox.
