Shadow Meta Magic feats


Rules Questions


Hey ya'll! I'm trying to get some rules clarification since my group isn't 100% sure on how these things work together

I'm looking at these Metamagic Feats

https://www.d20pfsrd.com/feats/metamagic-feats/tenebrous-spell-metamagic
https://www.d20pfsrd.com/feats/metamagic-feats/umbral-spell-metamagic/
https://www.d20pfsrd.com/feats/metamagic-feats/shadow-grasp-metamagic

And these Spells

https://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/all-spells/a/arcane-mark/
https://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/all-spells/s/slow/

So I saw the Arcane Mark + Umbral Spell combo, and I'm wondering if that actually does work since Arcane Mark doesn't actually say "Target" in its spell description, and likewise does Slow work with Umbral spell in that it has multiple Targets but isn't an AoE spell?

If I can use Arcane Mark with Umbral Spell, can I use it with Shadow Grasp too to give myself a Entangle Shadow Radius if enemies get too close? Would Tenebrous increase the Reflex Save in this instance as well?

Does Shadow Grasp work if a Spell is enhanced by Umbral spell since it creates a Darkness AoE effect? If a spell gains the Darkness Descriptor from Umbral spell and I am in the darkness, does Tenebrous effect activate without increasing the level then? (So saw Slow is cast as 2 levels higher vs 3 levels higher?)

Thanks for all your help!
