Miku's Digital Goblin Sings of shadow

What follows about shadow is a goblin's account, which means most of it is accurate, some of it is invented, and the parts that matter most are stolen from someone else.

Sensitive goblins describe the energy of shadow as 'mostly indigo, with a teal undertone in the second half.' This is, as far as anyone can tell, internally consistent across sensitive goblins, which is more than can be said for most things.

Variant Goblin Readings of hallucination

When goblin negotiators are unable to reach agreement, they have, by long tradition, the option of invoking hallucination. The invocation has no defined effect. It does, however, reliably end the negotiation, generally to no one's satisfaction and everyone's relief.

Variant Goblin Readings of catalog

Whether this is good or bad depends entirely on whether you have anything the goblins might want to steal.
