In other words, can the Shadowcaster qualify for the Shadow Adept class?
I would venture to say "Yes", but I'd like to see other people's opinion.
There are a few points of contention. The first is that the Shadow Adept requires "3rd level arcane or divine spellcasting", which, when mixed with the description of Shadowcasters and PrCs, shows that it does require a type of spellcasting (arcane or divine) and a Shadowcaster therefore cannot qualify. However, since the PGtF was released prior to ToM, it could simply have been oversight on the parts of the PGtF writers, who thought that "arcane and divine" covered all bases.
The second point is that the Shadow Adept receives three metamagic abilities that cannot be used with Mysteries without moderate alteration. See, the Shadowcaster's metashadow feats act the same way that the Sudden Metamagics do, requiring uses per day per feat, while the ones provided by the Shadow Adept class have spell level adjustments. How does one fix this?
The third and final: How does Shadow Weave Magic interact with Shadowcasters? I'm sure it's detailed somewhere, but I can't seem to find it.
