True to its name, Shadow Lantern summons forth a shard of pure elemental Darkness that absorbs nearby light. Shadow Lantern cannot move under its own power and must be carried by its caster, although it will hang motionless in the air if released. Because of the malign nature of the Elemental Plane of Darkness, a Shadow Lantern invested with sufficient magical Power will inflict Shock on anyone besides its caster if touched.
