Just because part of their names start with the same word doesn't mean they operate on the same principal. If I may remind you all of the rule of enemy shapeshifter slip ups, knowledge. If a shapeshifter poses as an ally of his enemy if he doesn't know enough about the person he's disguised as he could make a mistake and blow his own cover. I theorize the personal reality that is produced by imagine shadow's user mimics the properties of espers. So he can use other esper techniques, but not all of them at once because he does not know all of the esper's moves. As for magic abilities I think because his power alters his personal reality it also allows the magic by mimicking whatever principal magic spells use.
