Content[]
"Hiding is not just about finding a shadow in which to conceal yourself. Indeed, true masters of the art are able to hide in virtual broad daylight simply because they wish not to be found. It is an ability that will become almost supernatural, should you be persistent in its development.
When there is light, there is shadow. You need merely to find that shadow and utilize it to its fullest extent. If engaging in a planned activity, be sure to scout the area ahead of time. Remember that the sun moves across the sky; it doesn’t merely sit still. Know where and when shadows are going to occur, and adjust your path accordingly. Be mindful of the clothing that you wear. Pick easily blending colors for the situation at hand; hiding doesn’t necessarily mean garbing yourself completely in black.
Additionally, while a true master of wealth has little need, beginning shadow-goers often seek out certain magical accouterments to increase their chances of success. There is no shame in remaining hidden, nor in avoiding being caught. Indeed, being caught generally has far greater consequences. Always remember: the darkness is your friend, your companion, and your ally."
