How to get Elusive Shadow
- Gain: Elusive Shadow is rank 4 of the Intrigue education. A child needs a final score of 18 or more to get it at 16, which takes a strong Intrigue guardian plus extra points from a court tutor, a university, the Kin legacy or a learned council spouse. Adults can also reach it from rank 3 through a University Visit.
- Remove or lose: Permanent. It is the starting point for Conniving Puppetmaster: a University Visit can push it to rank 5.
Aim for every bonus at once: a guardian with very high Intrigue and a good Learning skill, a genius or intelligent child, a Charming or Rowdy childhood trait, and a court tutor or university education for the extra points at 16.
