'Shadow and Bone': Who Are the Grisha?

Netflix's Shadow and Bone series distinguishes itself from others in the fantasy genre in many different ways, but a particularly important one is the Grisha. Understanding the Grisha and their society requires vocabulary and observation. Grisha are so commonplace in the world of the Shadow and Bone that their abilities and customs are not explained upfront in the show. Instead, the viewers must watch and learn. While, based on the genre, it may be easy to label them wizards or sorcerers, that would be incorrect.
