You don't until you are told to.

You need a few powerful items, a mystic scepter, and a rackload of strength points.

Well, I don't believe anyone's found out if there's a damage cap in A4, let alone what it is. The shades will regenerate health at the end of a round in which you've reduced their health below a certain point. So in theory, if you could deal ~1400 damage in one turn, you'd kill them before they got to regenerate.

But you'd have to be cheating to do that, and it's completely muck up the plot, so don't.

Some monsters in A4 are set to be unkillable. You can reduce them to a very small amount of health (1 or 0, probably), but no farther. The shades are most likely like that too.

—Alorael, who wouldn't be surprised if there a way around that, too. Like maybe summoning thousands of ghouls, ending combat, and reloading a game with an item still attached to the cursor.

They are. Somebody tried it once. You can keep hitting them until the cows come home but they'll never go below 1 HP.

When I was still in the demo I was wondering if I could kill them before they could heal, so I downloaded the trainer and stacked up only my strength and I couldn't get it beyond 1 HP and when it had its turn it regenerated its health and kicked the crap out of me.
