When Goblins Discovered shadow

Some goblin doomsday prophets identify shadow as the sign — not of the end, but of the part right before the end, which lasts longer than anyone expected.

Goblin sigil workers report that the sigil for shadow is structurally unstable: it works exactly once per practitioner and then dissolves into something that looks distressingly like a small cartoon face.
