The Umbral Clot is a fist sized object, sticky and malleable like putty, that has bizzare visual properties. Portions of the Clot that are not exposed to very direct light appear utterly black, like a section of void. However, if a portion of the Clot is exposed to extremely direct light, like that of the sun, or a lantern held very close to it, it appears white, like it is bleached of color. It has many applications for thiefs and protectors against thieves alike. If applied around an object in a darkened hallway, the object may dissapear entirely until exposed to direct light, which few thieves will risk when infiltrating a house. Likewise, thieves may stretch this substance around a portion of their body or face to help them blend into shadows.

It's basically congealed shadows that form of an unknown phenomena, probably something to do with gates to the Shadow World.

From the Books of Corvus (the early volumes), "You could always tell a gate that led to or through the Shadow Realm. There was this "slime" that always built up around the edges. Slime is not quite the right word, as that would imply a texture or touch. It was nothing but shadow, no temperature, no real weight, just a volume of shadow. Some guardians of the gates collected the stuff with a religious fever, but most gate guardians simply scrubbed the stuff off and tossed it in the trash."

"I became visable today. Perhaps trapping Shadowclots in a glass globe is not a great idea."
