Using Shadow Walk spell ON the plane of shadow?

[Shin Okada]

The description of the Shadow Walk spell is assuming that the caster is on the material plane. But what will happen if someone tries to cast Shadow Walk when the caster is on the Plane of Shadow?

Should the spell simply fail? Or should the caster travel faster on the Plane of Shadow? Or else?

The spell states that you're moving along the border between the Material and the Plane of Shadow. So I would let the spell work.

Agreed.

The Plane of Shadow is a parody of the Material Plane and co-terminus with it. (i.e. a one-for-one correspondence of places in each. If there's a building in one, it exists in the other, in the same place.)

You only get the movement enhancement when working the edges of that plane, and that is where the spell takes you.

Using the spell, you can navigate across the Plane of Shadows to other planes that adjoin it (1 D4 hours to make the trip, according to the book). Without the spell you walk on that plane at the same rate you walk on the Material, and have no inherent ability to leave it and cross to other planes, adjoining or not.

Here's a fun question, though: If the Plane of Shadows is always the shadow version of the Material plane, what happens when you build something there? Does a parody version get built on the Material plane?
