Silver is a significant substance in the Forests of Hell as it is known to repel spirits.[1] Shades that touch it are thrown backward, though the touch of the Shades ruin it.[1]
Silver can also heal the effects of a Shade attack. Silver dust is applied to areas of the body that are affected, reversing the necrotic effects of the Shade's touch.
