They are the same thing

OOC: It doesn't burn better, it burns differently.  It doesn't so much burn as it does consume.  The fire part of shadowfire will still melt things, and the heat resistance would have saved the manas if that's all the shadowfire did.  But it's not, so it didn't.

OOC: The shadowfire came about because of the unique nature of the Kaita Vatomak, mostly because of Jalkron and Ender.  You might remember Charix once split Jalkron into two beings, one with all of his light, the other with his shadow.  The shadow Jalkron had control over shadowfire due to all the corruption energies in his system and the fact that he was Jalkron's shadow half.  Jalkron refusing his two halves returned his powers to normal, but all the corruption energies are still inside him, which is part of the reason why he does not follow the toa code.  When he fuses with Ender (and Dralik, but that's not important) Ender supplies the shadow and Jalkron the corruption and fire.

Basically, the shadowfire's effect is something between corrupting/disrupting and burning, as that is essentially what it is.

OOC:

I hate you.

OOC: Oh please do.

A tobdukian arrives by teleportation. He surveys the area, looking to see where Edna is.

Torshiek complies. He keeps an eye out for any living creatures to use his mask on...
