I think that Umbral Mind and Shutters and Mirrors can be kept very separate just by making sure that UM focuses on telepathy, mind control, psychic fear, etc. SM could be a little overloaded with dark reflections in there...this seams more like a Darkness Unbound power. Focus SM on clairvoyance and sensory powers and it will work okay...
The Black Magic and Unbinding Shade don't seem to fit with SM either nor are many of them really feasible with
4e mechanics. How would one mimic the stealing of someone's effect? Would it only affect "magical" effects (thus Ki and Martial have a huge advantage)? Perhaps some of these effects could be un-pathed utility powers.
With feats, create a set of feats (perhaps one per tier) related to each path. Each feat would need to be a little weak for its level because it would also grant an increase to the Path Mastery ranking.
Just some thoughts...
