“The chaining of a Shadowblaze, fourth entity removed, is an often indeterminable process, and the bindagent should consider wisely the situation before making any decision regarding the vessels to be indentured. ”

—Origins of Power

A Shadowblaze is a chalk creature that, when bound to a human, bestows Rithmatic powers upon said human. They appear to those who become Rithmatists during their inception. Joel for some reason saw a Shadowblaze, but did not become a Rithmatist. Unlike chalklings, Shadowblazes do not need to be affixed to a two-dimensional surface. They have the appearance of primitive cave drawings, and are roughly man-shaped.

Discussing the role of the Shadowblazes in the inception ceremony with non-Rithmatists is strictly taboo among Rithmatists.

Trivia

• Before The Rithmatist was taken out of the cosmere, Shadowblazes were Spiritual Realm entities that got pulled into the Physical Realm. This was the origin of their confusion with time, as the Spiritual Realm does not have linear time, though they are not as frightened by it as the Forgotten and other chalklings are.
