power help?

I think you'd be able to use a combination of telepathy and air elementals? air elementals can move things around/hit things basically like telekinesis and telepathy would enable people to see the shadows. it would technically be projected as an illusion but you could just say that it your character enables people to see the shadows moving during combat? I also think using the earth or fire elementals would be fine too tbh. Because it's just aesthetic, I don't see why it'd be a problem having the fire black or the earth a darker color bc I know I've see characters with purple and blue fire and things like that (which I mean does technically occur naturally but not it's usual state. If necessary, you could find some dark colored minerals and say he's specifically good at controlling those).
