The latente form is the true form of the Penumbra, lithe-like of pallid hues, with great wings. It is thought they are cousins to the Aerolite as they too possess wings.

This is believed to be in relation to the abyss, as the latente form absorbs abyssal energy. Though it can drive all mad with prolonged exposure, the Penumbra are the most resilient showing little effect over centuries, even able to harness it into magik.
After Lithavania fell, this form was mysteriously lost except Adriana Arcturus, which she believes is because she was not present in in the great city at the time. Cachusa was able to regain her latente form during the traumatic abuse endured by her father-in-law.

This fallen latente form is most proficient in magik, drawing upon the abyss without thought like chaos magik, yet contradictory to her state, without instability. Only Miriam can still and bring her mother back to her senses.
