This might be too powerful. I didn't spend a lot of time computing balance.
The Shadowcrafter
When a human is born with a touch of draconic blood, sometimes the result is a sorcerer. When that blood is from a Shadow Dragon, the result can be a little different: a shadowcrafter. The arcane energy is turned in a way that isn't exactly spellcasting, but instead links closely to the plane of shadow.

Shadow Creature(su): A shadowcrafter at the peek of his art becomes a creature of shadow. He is treated as having the [shadow] subtype when it is beneficial to him. He also may planeshift himself and up to 5 allies to or from the plane of shadow for 1 shadow point.
