The caster levels are added to the PC, not to the shadow.
How did you test those?
Misc Changes, with the Feats and Skills sublinks.
Available races
Spell Changes
Class Mechanics
Command Guide

Take a look before asking your questions!

Unless I am mistaken caster levels should grant extra spell slots/higher level spells for wizards. At level 3/3 the character has the same spell slots/max spell level as a level 3 shadow mage.

You are mistaken TtTargaryen.

Currently it gives only CL - means power of Your spells increases.

I am working on a fix for those spellslots.

I'm still not convinced after playing today, the shadow definitely has sneak attack still.

From the Wiki:
Shadows Feats: Blind Fight, Crippling Strike, Sneak Attack (+1d6).

The shadow has a sneak attack dice by default.

This is from the forum's explanation of the class combo and where I was getting my information:
Shadowmage Forum Entry wrote: May take levels in Shadowdancer without meeting the usual skill and feat requirements. Instead of gaining Sneak Attack from their shadow, Shadow Mages get +1 caster level per Shadowdancer level.

The shadow mage does not receive sneak attack from their shadow, but the shadow itself still has sneak attack damage.

Exactly what I was trying to explain.

Didn't want to make a new thread for this. Not sure if this is by design but the CL doesn't count towards undead summoning level either.

So, maybe I'm being redundant, but just to be clear - The SD levels do not give the shadow mage spell slots and new spell levels yet?
