It was used to manipulate both literal shadows & figurative shadows (shadows "created by conflict", shadows caused by "alternate versions of oneself", by "other worlds"/parallel dimensions, and such).

Shadow Magic can fold both space & time, and can create pocket-dimensions (leaving special "keys" to open & lock them). There is a lot of potential for Shadow Magic, considering that the Nightblade Class in TESO even has a Skill-line that resembles Shadow spells.

Shadow Magic can apparently also be used for direct destruction, as Azra Nightwielder had once shown (though he technically lost control of it). He accidentally blew up a large area near the village known today as "Azra's Crossing", and it has left behind an enormous crater.
