I like the idea but im a little concerned with the shadows resource. If you are fighting over a objective and you run out of shadows, you cant do anything, at all. Unless someone dies that is. I understand that for mages especially if they run out of mana theyre supposed to be able to do much less, but at least their mana regen will allow them to cast a spell here and there.
My suggestion is maybe have him generate shadows while out of combat? like 3 shadows every 5 seconds? Just so he wont become actually useless in that scenario. Oh and you can cap the auto generated shadows so you cant just stockpile for while then never go oom. so like at 30 shadows you cannot passively generate more.
Really nice concept though, very unique and seems fun to play with.

I'm aware of this problem, gotta say I have some pretty wild ideas but none of them seems right
Yours is pretty nice, never thought of putting cap before, I think I'm gonna use it
Thanks for the feedback Argent :)
