Andrew Rowe Shadows can't actually summon monsters; they can only create solid illusions, which require considerably more maintenance and control than a summoned monster does.

They're definitely an effective attunement, but things like invisibility are often considered dishonorable in Valian dueling culture. As such, it's not a hugely popular dueling attunement (although there certainly are some Shadow duelists).
