there are feats tenebrous spell, umbral spell, and shadow grasp which make shadow/darkness spells cooler.
also sorcerer shadow bloodline and the wizard archetype shadowcaster

Hmmm. Close, only Tenebrous Spell does that, as does Shadow Well from the Sorcerer bloodline, and the Shadowcaster sorta does overall if you are willing to give up your arcane bond.
Out of the ones you listed, it looks like only Shadowcaster (combined with some form of school specialization) and Tenebrous Spell do that. Even then, you only get bonus spells, not really increasing the DC or damage.
Does Ultimate Magic have these feats and mage archetype in it, or do I have to get Inner Sea Magic to get these in print?
