Shadow Bolt
Spell Level: Illusionist, 3rd Level
Range: 40 ft
Duration: Immediate
When cast, the Illusionist throws a crackling bolt of charged shadow energy 30 ft in length that follows the same rules as per a lightning bolt with respect to obstructions. Victims in the path of the Shadow Bolt recieve 1d4 points of shadow energy damage per level of the Illusionist and are blinded for 1d4 rounds. Victims succeeding a Toughness saving throw recieve half damage and are blinded for 1 round.

This seems a little weak for a 3rd level spell. The range and damage seem closer to a 1st level spell, or perhaps a 2nd.
Illusionists aren't meant to be "damage dealers of another type", so while they can produce some combat-like spells that seem like familiar damage-dealing spells it just doesn't pack the same punch. The additional effect of blindness as well figures into the spell's level of difficulty.
