Shadow bridges

Shadow Bridges were seen in Soul Reaver 2, presumably created by the Ancient Vampires they allowed Raziel to create bridges that floated in mid-air.

Raziel first encountered a Shadow Bridge in the Dark Forge in Soul Reaver 2. Raziel was able to interrupt a beam of light by positioning an obelisk in front of it, and found that the shadow cast was apparently solid and could support Raziel's weight. Raziel could use then use Shadow Bridges to cross gaps. Later Shadow Bridges required the Dark Reaver enhancement to activate them.

Shadow Bridges were not seen in further games
