New Planar Cosmology

For my Sundered Skies PbP Campaign I am designing a simplified cosmology and I would like your thoughts on if it is viable; especially taking into consideration spells and so on.

If you have any other thoughts about this let me know.

Thanks!
Code:
[U][B]Cosmology [/B][/U]
[B]The Prime[/B]   - where the game takes place (the prime material plane)

[B]Shalzure [/B]   - plane of the fiends (evilly aligned extraplanars, red)
[B]Farcalor[/B]     - plane of the aberrations (chaos, neutral, rainbow static)
[B]Nochtor [/B]     - plane of shadows and pockets of negative energy (neutral (evil), mildly transitive, faded black)
[B]The Deep [/B]  - Astral/Ethereal - where the bodies of the dead elders reside (neutral, transitive, faded blue)
[B]Isilor [/B]          - plane of radiance and positive energy and light (neutral (good), mildly transitive, faded yellow)
[B]Arbarale [/B]    - Good aligned planes (goodly aligned extraplanars, green)
[B]Terral[/B]         - entrant plane to access elemental, a roiling and stable plane of natural elements (lawful, neutral, brown)
                      - Fire, Water, Air, Earth

I am thinking that I will want to add spells that use the Isilor as an alternative to the Nochtor for shadow spells, or spells that use the plane of shadow as a method of transport; ...

perhaps have the spells that utilize the plane of shadows with the [Evil] descriptor and those those that use the plane of light the [Good] descriptor; alternatively I could have those spells use either plane which would be determined at the time of memorization with the spell type alternating between the (shadow) descriptor and another descriptor - perhaps (umbral). I am not sure what to call it.

There are only 7 core spells with the shadow descriptor so adding another descriptor (umbral) with like effects but derived from its polar plane should not be a problem I am thinking.
