Could I get Help selecting my spells

[JuliusCromwell]

I am playing a Blood-Arcanist who is focused on shadow Magic
and i need help selecting my spells

I am currently level 8 and I'd like spells that can work with the solid shadow Meta-magic feat and other Feats that boost Darkness/Shadow spells

Shadowmind plus a darkness spell of some kind is a reasonably effective combination.

Shadow enchantment is the highest level spell (I think the only spell?) you can cast with solid shadows at this level. It also lets you steal odd spells from the psychic list.

I'm not sure which feats you have exactly. You must have spell focus (illusion) and solid shadows from what you say, but which others?

these are my feats

Feats
lv(1) Silent Spell (+1 Spell level)
lv(3) Spell Focus (illuison) (+1 TO the Dc of Illusions spells)
lv(5) Solid Shadows: (Shadow spells Are 20% more Real)
Lv(5) (Exploit) Tenebrous Spell: spells cast in Dim-light or Darkness Are harder Resist
lv(7) Mage’s Tattoo (Illusion) +1 Caster level (Ghost sound X3 a day)

Quick search found these from the shadow subschool:

Shadow Weapon (Lvl 1)
Shadow Anchor (Lvl 2)
Twilight Haze (Lvl 2)
Display Aversion (Lvl 3*)
Twine Double (Lvl 3)
Shadow Barbs (Lvl 4)
Shadow Conjuration (Lvl 4)
Shadow Dragon Aspect (Lvl 4)
Shadow Step (Lvl 4)
Simulacrum, Lesser (Lvl 4)
Shadow Evocation (Lvl 5)
Symbol of Striking (Lvl 5)
Shadow Walk (Lvl 6*)
Lunar Veil (Lvl 7)
Project Image (Lvl 7*)
Shadow Conjuration, Greater (Lvl 7)
Simulacrum (Lvl 7*)
Shadow Evocation, Greater (Lvl 8)
Shades (Lvl 9)

Additional note: Silver as an alchemical reagent adds +1 to will saves for Illusion spells. At 1 GP per dose it's quite a bargain.
