Class: Shadowcaster

Amazing flavor text, amazing RP, crappy on the power curve.  From what I've read, this class suffers from not having enough castings per day.  Basically, you spend a lot of time NOT casting with this caster class.  It can't fark reality like a wizzie or sorc.

Tier 4 seems appropriate for this class as written.  Thoughts?
