Set the Spellcraft DC for the Shadow Whatever spell being actually cast, and people who make that result will get the +4 disbelief bonus to the Shadow spell's Will save immediately?

If they pass this save, the Lightning Bolt will only do 20% of it's normal damage! (divide damage rolled by 5). Afterwards, they have to make a Reflex save for Lightning Bolt. This save is made as if Lightning Bolt were a 5th level spell, like Shadow Evocation. Normal effects of passing or failing the save apply. As for the Spellcraft aspect, I wouldn't give someone a special bonus to disbelieve. Anyone with appropriate levels of Spellcraft will know that a Shadow Spell can hurt them just like a normal spell.
