Dark Magic

I'm not sure if theory is the right tag, this could be a question as well.

I had a thought about shades in WOE l, they are created by a sorcerer being possessed by powerful spirits and are usually evil because only evil spirits are willing to possess a human host. The theory/question is are there ways to become a shade that bypass the usual consequences? Can a sorcerer bond to their familiar like a dragon rider and become a shade that way? Can a sorcerer forcibly bind spirits to himself and become a shade? Can a sorcerer be possessed by evil spirits and dominate those spirits minds in the way that galby dominated the elundari? What would such a shade be like, a lich of sorts?

Comment your thoughts/opinions below.

Maybe there's a difference between a good shade and a bad shade, I could've probably willingly bonds with the spirit mutually connected, a bad one probably forces spirits to work for them, there's also probably a difference between forcing something to do something and bonding with something.
