From publisher blurb: Following the darker theme introduced in last issue, Issue #55 provides a new base class, the Shadowfire Acolyte. Not only is this base class covered in detail, but a new type of energy is introduced, shadowfire. An original concept by Randy Price, both the energy and corresponding class were created with a darker and more "evil" bent available for players. Although the Shadowfire Acolyte doesn't have to be evil, it probably helps as the class can be characterized by one of selfish intentions and questionable abilities.
