It may, like a vampire's lack of reflection, indicate the character is [[GlamourFailure not what he appears to be]] -- down to and including that he's a copy of the real thing, or even just an illusion. It may show that someone stole his shadow. It may indicate that, CastingAShadow, he has animated his into a LivingShadow, and it's elsewhere, or even that he's a Living Shadow himself. But it definitely indicates something uncanny's going on.
