I was wondering if anyone had any ideas about a wizard character who could manipulate and be able to use darkness as his/her main focus and be able to go in and out of the Nevernever at will. Any ideas?

Well, i have this idea about him being Mab's kid, who she tried to have killed, but eludes him. He runs to the Realm of Shadows and despite Mab being the Queen of Air and Darkness, he eludes her. As he survives he learns to channel to darkness and use it as a weapon and survives. I want him to be a wizard, but i know that this would start him out as a changeling and i really would like him as a wizard, but that's just my preference. I am still trying to figure out the game as is.

Channeling Shadow and Thaumaturgy.  Possibly Worldwalker for the Nevernever bit. Cloak of Shadows. 

Remember that you can have elements not in the Five (Spirit, Air, Earth, Fire, Water) as long as they're similarly restricted thematically.  Shadow certainly would be.  Darkness, cold, knowing what evil lurks in the hearts of men, that type of stuff would be thematically appropriate for the element.

Incite Fear. A rewrite of the Demesne power for being in dark places. Maybe some Toughness/Recovery with the catch of not working in the light. Maybe Sponsored Magic?

I had considered a sponsor. Maybe something that dwells in the Realm of Shadows. It's a work in progress. Thanks for all the ideas guys.

Feel free to use the Shadow People stuff I've posted. Sounds like it'd fit in pretty well.

I'm sure Lamont Cranston would have gotten it, if he lurked on these boards.  :p
