Rejected. 'Shadow' as a word is fine, but it wouldn't grant your character the ability to make it solid. Your character would instead be able to manipulate shadow/darkness, shelter and protect, conjure and manipulate ghosts and specters, suggest things to others, vaguely imitate things, create a reflected image of something, instill gloom or unhappiness in others, and follow others stealthily (derived all of these abilities from the definitions at [url]http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/shadow?s=t[/url]). You can choose whether to keep 'shadow' with these adjustments or pick another word if it's not to your liking. In addition, it doesn't really make sense that your character was shocked to find that she could see the floating island. It's rather hard to miss, unless she coincidentally gained the ability to see it right then and there--which is fairly unlikely. Other than that, application is fine, but it could use some cleanup in terms of grammar (random capitalizations being the biggest culprit).
