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...

Most of my character is gauged towards creating complications. My Trouble is 'Unnatural Attraction'; Monsters want to eat me, another ons is 'For the Greater Good' which explains itself. x)

What the hell? If that catch is worth more than +1, then that character is cheese. Hell, they allow this but are giving you problem with your shadow magic? That is messed up. A weakness to single combat is not a catch, it is an aspect. It is something that should be compelled to affect the character, not something that should give automatic refresh bonuses.
Also, the pixie changeling doesn't even need a flesh mask. If its a changeling, then it is part human, and having a human body is part of that. Sure, it might have wings and be a really small human body, but it will still be recognizably human. Flesh masks are what monsters use to hide the fact that they aren't human.
surarrin:
It's just a +1 catch

Man, now my righteous indignation feels totally wasted. Oh well, they should still let you use shadow magic.

Not proven (or disproven) by anything we've seen in the books so far, so I guess it is up to your GM. Since you say that he's been missing for 11 days, does that mean that all the objections so far have been from other players?
If these folks aren't friends outside the game, this is about the time I would be reevaluating the people I am gaming with. Anyone that gets that worked up over not liking someone else's character concept probably won't be any fun to play with either.
