I'd suggest to take a look at the Pathfinder's version for more inspiration. Maybe there's something that could be used as a guideline.

(If you're wondering what that page is, it's Pathfinder's official SRD.)
I've started playing tabletop role playing games far more recently, and haven't gotten to pathfinder yet. At the very least, the fluff on that page is very helpful. I guess I'll leave Shadow Jump alone, although I'm still not entirely happy with how close this is to the Way of Shadow.
