There's two types of umbrakinesis. One is to manipulate shadows, the one that most people can do. The other type of umbrakinesis is darkness umbrakinesis. You cannot do umbrakinesis of that type if your ES (energy system, meaning your chakras, nadis, etc) does not have darkness energy inside of it. Just a fact. You cannot get darkness energy into it unless you have someone who is able to do it put it inside of your ES, or you have the knowhow of where to find a place that has darkness energy (which good luck finding that here). And even then putting darkness energy inside of you isn't the safest thing ever. For example if you were a light energy being, didn't know it, and had someone put darkness inside of you. You get what I mean when I say that. It's best to find out what type of energy your ES has. (I doubt there's many people on this site who can scan for that.)

Bottom line is. Unless you are darkness energy, then good luck manipulating something that you don't have in your ES. It's not magically gonna pop up out of nowhere, and sitting in a dark room isn't going to put darkness energy in your ES just because it's a dark room.
