Those who enter the dragon's cavern will find nothing but a large mound of blackness, for Rahab is hidden by a form of continual darkness. The spell is not affected by anything save continual light, which will act as a light spell. In this darkness, Rahab has an armor class of -5. If the darkness is temporarly alleviated by the application of continual light, its armor class worsens to -2.
We might be able to borrow/modify this...
Aura of Darkness (Ex): A live nogra is continually surrounded by a darkness effect (as the deeper darkness spell). Any light effect or similar effect brought into the area of the nogra is suppressed until brought outside of the aura of darkness. Once brought outside the aura of darkness, the light effect resumes. While this darkness will suppress a daylight spell, a daylight spell does not affect the nogra’s aura. When a nogra dies, the aura of darkness fades away in 1d3 rounds.

I like that! The original text gives a pretty short radius (3 ft, I think), but I think it would be more appropriate to make it larger, like 30 ft at least. Thoughts?
Breath weapon (Su): Once every 1d4 rounds, Rahab can breath a 60 ft cone of magic gas. Any creature in the cone that fails a DC X Reflex save is instantaneously charmed by Rahab (as the charm monster spell). In addition, that creature can never willingly harm Rahab in any way. This condition can only be removed by break enchantment or similar magic if the caster succeeds at a DC X caster level check.
Charmed monsters wouldn't hurt their charmer regardless--I think that's redundant.
We could give it a kicker on the darkness aura--unholy aura, perhaps?--that gets removed if the darkness is dispelled with light. If daylight can't dispel it, perhaps sunbeam/sunburst?

That sounds good. We might also borrow from the damning darkness spell...

As with the darkness spell, the area of darkness is a 20-foot radius, and the object that serves as the spell's target can be shrouded to block the darkness (and thus the damaging effect).
Damning darkness counters or dispels any light spell of equal or lower level.
Spell resistance applies to the damage dealt by this spell but not to the darkness area.

That seems like a perfect addition to the aura. So -- what spells should suppress the darkness? Maybe spells with the light descriptor of level greater than or equal to 5th? Should a CL check be involved?
Aura of Profane Darkness (Ex): Rahab is continually surrounded by a darkness effect (as the deeper darkness spell) to a radius of 30 feet.
Nonevil creatures within the aura also take unholy damage. Creatures of good alignment take 2d6 points of damage per round in the darkness, and creatures of neither good nor evil take 1d6 points of damage.
While the aura is active, Rahab receives a +4 profane bonus to Armor Class and a +4 resistance bonus on saving throws.
Any light effect or similar effect brought into the area of the profane darkness is suppressed until brought outside of the aura of darkness. Once brought outside the aura of darkness, the light effect resumes. While this darkness will suppress a daylight spell, a daylight spell does not affect Rahab's aura. A sunburst effect suppresses the aura for x rounds. When Rahab dies, the aura of profane darkness fades away in 1d3 rounds.

Just throwing out some SLA ideas (partly chosen from what looks compatible among chromatic dragon and demon SLAs): suggestion or dominate person/monster, power word stun, chaos hammer, maybe greater dispel magic, shades or greater shadow conjuration, greater shadow evocation. Thoughts?

He originally had just a little bit of spellcasting. Should we give him some weak sorcerer spellcasting, maybe CL12 (between wyrm and great wyrm white dragons)? Or leave it off since he has the SLAs? IIRC, the radiant dragon doesn't get casting, right?

Right...none of the planar dragons do.
I think I'd rather stick with SLAs than add spellcasting. The shadow spells you selected allow him to emulate other spells, which still gives him some semblance of the variety of spontaneous spellcasting.

That's fine with me, but maybe we could increase the frequency of a couple of the SLAs (or add the regular shadow conjuration/evocation spells at 5/day or something).
