The shadowcaster mystery arrow of dusk is of the evocation school, it has a medium range, it deals 2d4 nonlethal damage as a ranged touch attack, and it has a ×3 multiplier.

Can anyone see a reason why there couldn't be a sorcerer/wizard spell like that? I imagine it would look something like this:

ARROW OF DUSK
Illusion (Shadow)
Level: Sor/Wiz 1
Components: V, S
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level)
Effect: One missile of shadow
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No

You fire a missile formed of energy drawn from the Plane of Shadow at the target. You must succeed on a ranged touch attack to hit your target. The orb deals 2d4 points of nonlethal damage and ×3 damage on a critical hit.
