Shadow Jump and Dimensional Agility

So a player wants a Spiritualist (Shadow Caller) character to take Dimensional Agility.

Does Shadow Jump qualify to take this feat?

I've looked up old threads on Shadowdancer and could not find a definitive answer. Is it any clearer now?

Does he have abundant class feature or can he cast Dimension door?

No. He can't take it. RAW

Does the ability work like Dimension door? Yes.
Would it be feasible for the character to take if the DM allow it? Yes. RAI


Flexible Shadow Jump from blood of shadows (I can't find a link yet) allows a shadowdancer to qualify for the dimensional agility line of feats. Which is a fairly strong indicator that you don't.
The feat should work for your spiritualist, unless you come across a particularly strict GM.

I searched, but I can't seem to find it either.

I typed up the feat since I found it in herolab

Flexible Shadow Jump:

Flexible Shadow Jump

You have refined your ability to leep through the shadows.

Prerequisites: Shadow jump shadowdancer class feature.

Benefit: When you travel between shadows using the shadow jump ability, the minimum increment that you can jump is 5 feet, allowing you to split your shadow jump into 5-foot increments instead of 10-foot increments. In addition, your shadow jump ability counts as the ability to cast dimension door for the purpose of meeting the prerequisites of the Dimensional Agility feat as well as any feat that list that feat as a prerequisite, and your shadow jump benefits from such feats as if you were casting dimension door.

Normal: Each shadowjump, no matter how small, counts as a 10-foot increment.

Appears in: Blood of Shadows

EDIT: Also thought I would add this in here as well since it goes with it.

Extra Shadow Jump:

Extra Shadow Jump

You have an improved ability to leap through shadow.

Prerequisites: Shadow jump shadowdancer class feature.

Benifit: Add 10 feet to the total distance you can jump each day using the shadow jump ability. The extra distance provided by this feat doubles whenever the distance that you can jump doubles (20 feet at 6th, 40 feet at 8th, and 80 feet at 10th level).

Special: This feat can be selected up to four times. Its effects stack.

Appears in: Blood of Shadows

Afraid that is so.
Shadowdancer would be a strong candidate for an unchained version, balancing the shadow a bit more and making some other things there a bit stronger, as well as taking a look at the prereqs again.

Truth be told your better off playing a Darkness Oracle or a Shadow Spiritualist as they are both full classes that actually offer a similar vibe and are on par if not better than the Shadowdancer.

Shadow Caller Spiritualist gets Shadow Jump too, which is how this came up again.
