Perhaps making him a free spirit of some sort would work better?

That way, he does need the invisibility spell ("he just faeded away from
sight!") and you wouldn't have to sweat over drain for those nasty spells.

I'm not sure of a background, but perhaps he used to be a Mage Detective's ally
who was brutally killed by some bad guys.

A spirit would perform the role quite well, but the REAL Shadow was wealthy
playboy Lamont Cranston, who had learned the mysteries of the east, giving him
the power to cloud men's minds... :)

A campaign with the players the agents of a free spirit, or dragon, or "good"
vampire, could work just as well.
