What the flavor is is rather subjective. Since the ability explicitly says you don't have to be IN the shadows to use HiPS (just within 10 feet), it's entirely valid to believe that the character is magically manipulating the shadows somehow, or just requires them as a catalyst for use in their powers, or whatever.

(1) "Magical manipulation" symbolizes super-natural HiPS against extra-ordinary HiPS;
(2) "the ability": HiPS-type dearth.

Well, provided you're reckless enough, the sense that there's someone hiding in the shadows just means that you should target every single point they could be in with an AoE.
The mind transcends the body.
It's also a little cold because of that.
Please get it a blanket.

I wish I could read your mind,
I can barely read mine.

"Just what do you think the moon up in the sky is? Everyone sees that big, round shiny thing and thinks there must be something round up there, right? That's just silly. The truth is much more awesome than that. You can almost never see the real Moon, and its appearance is death to humans. You can only see the Moon when it's reflected in things. And the things it reflects in, like water or glass, can all be broken, right? Since the moon you see in the sky is just being reflected in the heavens, if you tear open the heavens it's easy to break it~"
