Umbrakinesis as in the kinetic movement of darkness would be physical darkness manipulation, and thus it falls under the "movement of photons" so to speak. So technically (actually, literally) it is basically a side effect of.. "Photokinesis". So there's that.

I personally believe that darkness is more than just an absence of light -- in the etheric at least. Or whatever people call the realm of spirits. As a matter of fact, there is even abstract darkness that leads to corruption, there is etherical darkness which is more than just shadows and moving photons, and then there's physical darkness here which is the manipulation of photons.

Fun fact : I used to practice using abstract darkness (the metaphorical darkness of one's heart for example, or darkness used to make people forget memories or hide or even using physical shadows to do things such as divination) rather religiously until last year. I stopped more because I didn't like the effect it had on people, so I moved on to using physical darkness as a medium of channeling energetic (or spiritual/etherical) darkness.

I'd speak more but I'm a rather terrible speaker, but I think I'm great at answering questions, so ask me anything if you want to clarify something. If you also want to speak privately, my skype is "bbdeathspark". That is, for anyone who wants to.
