Another Ability Recommendation [Zexion]

[Fate]

I shall give you some more work, though it's not a lot. I just have one ability here that I would like to upgrade and would greatly appreciate your input on.

[b][Shadow Silhouette][/b]
Zexion's nickname 'Shadow-Walking Tactician' [i]did[/i] come from somewhere. This ability allows him to temporarily disappear from sight, making his person 70% invisible for about ten seconds; his Lexicon remains opaque. After he goes into this, he approaches his enemy at running speed and attacks said opponent with darkness. If he is hit after he is invisible, he loses the invisibility but is still able to inflict the ranged darkness attack.

[b]Range[/b]: N/A; 20 feet radius for Darkness
[b]Speed[/b]: N/A; Running speed
[b]Cooldown[/b]: 6 posts.
[b]Uses[/b]: 3 times per thread.
[b]Strength[/b]: Moderate

I do have a few ideas here on how to upgrade. First obvious one is to render him completely invisible. Second one is to up the radius for the darkness. I'm a bit out of ideas for this one and I'm wondering if you've got any ideas to further this ability's potential.

Thank you in advance!

Well, let's start with the obvious. XD

Yes, full invisibility is possible.

As is the radius increase.

Also obvious is the speed at which he attacks.

Yet, of course, there is much more. XD

Inflicting the darkness/blind status effect upon a successful attack.

Creating clones (as usual) to make it more confusing as to which one he is; best used without without full invisibility and with the clones being unable to attack to avoid being overpowered.

Actual shadow walking... that is, sinking into a shadow to avoid attacks during this state.

Multiple attacks for when fighting groups.

Oh, here's a good one, though a bit out of the ordinary for an upgrade path... full invisibility for Zexion, partial invisibility for an illusion of him, to draw someone's eyes away from him.

Perhaps a combination of some of the previous ones, where Zexion is fully invisible while on a shadow and partially invisible when not? It would allow for more flexibility in your upgrade to make it more powerful.

Lastly, since I'm not sure exactly how you attack with the darkness, I'm assuming it's a ranged orb or beam or something, and therefore, redirectable... So possibly redirecting it to live up to that tactician name.
