When fighting ninja type mobs, their shadows seem unaffected by any area of effect weapon skills or spells. After stunning one with thunderbolt, sleeping it with dream flower, then hitting it with aeolian edge or circle blade, you still have to swing at it 4 times to drop its shadows before being able to use single target spells, steps, flourishes, or doing regular melee damage. Blue mage conal physical spells (such as empty thrash) however, are still absorbed by random (1-3) shadows. Also multi-hit blu spells, such as goblin rush, quadratic continuum, and quadrastike, are only absorbing a single shadow vs. any ninja mob, inside or outside of dynamis.
