I'm curious what the concepts of your friends are using, and by extension if any of them are more absurd than your relatively simple "Spirit controls Light and by extension Shadow."
Which by comparison would be equal to Fire is really Heat control and can be used to create Fire or Ice, something Harry has done several times throughout the books.

Well, so far we have;
A Venatori Assassin with a Minor Talent (Cloak of Shadows)
A Pixie Changeling one step away from becoming fully fey, who is around 2 feet tall and uses a fleshmask to hide her nature.
A Weremargay
A Valkyrie who's Catch is single combat.
A Focused Prac who makes Magical Bombs (Talked about this on here prior.)
A Focused Prac who usesThaumaturgic Photomancy to make Illusions.

Lawl, what?
Does that mean whenever there is more than her and a single enemy fighting she's super tough? *Insert nonexistent Face Raised Eyebrow*
I'd allow your character in a heartbeat.
((I had to google "Margay" to find out what it was, wasn't expecting a leopard :P ))

That's how I understand it, but yeah. :s Single Combat she can be bitchsmacked, but against multiple enemies her Inhuman recovery kicks in.
I'll admit, I got frustrated at one point and pointed out to the changling's player that Fleshmask isn't a standard Pixie power, and that their idea of being an entire ensemble at a stripclub wouldn't work because fleshmasks only have a single appearance. :( Not spiteful enough to say they can't have the power, and in the end it is the GM's call.. who vanished 11 days ago.

Sure, he might be, but that does not mean that you need to be in his weight class to do it with magic. If you look at the books, recall the issues with mirrors being a risk for a wizard.
Your shadow is certainly a thamatergical link to you. Shadow magic strikes me as a good concept for the GM to throw fate points at you for not using. The shopping mall is well lit, have a fate point and don't cast spells. The room is dark and there are no distinct shadows, have a fate point. Likewise: Manuver, I lure him into the light of the streetlamp so he casts a better shadow: Aspect Tag - clear shadow for next turn...
