The Untamed Shadow

Your hero and your villain possess the same extraordinary ability, but the villain’s refusal to control or tame this power turns them into a force of destruction.

This is a perfect setup to write a tale about power, its use and misuse, the responsibility that comes with it. It provides a framework to explore how even the same abilities can be a force of good or evil, depending on the bearer’s intentions, moral fibre, and discipline. How does the hero cope with the challenges or temptations of power? How does the villain justify their reckless use of the same power?
