The bluish beam on the Factory was some random light that's supposed to look cool, shadow energy in SF2 was jet black, unlike the cyanish-black energy in SF3.

Titan did say the Gates, along with the shadow energy, was his properties. He created the Gates so Shadow received his shadow body. From there, Titan just pulled his strings like a puppetmaster so Shadow come by himself to him, and he'll defeat Shadow to take Shadow's shadow (duh). With that, Titan will be a threath capable of deleting any universe so it will be perfectly balanced, as all things should be. But well, it backfires on Titan because it turned Shadow to be too strong for him xD

Another grasping at straws from me, but it seems there was no "pure" or "special" shadow energy back then. Because if there's ever a pure, special shadow energy, then Titan wouldn't need to plan and wait that long if he want that power, he would just feed himself with all that shadow in his stock. He want a shadow energy strong enough for that purpose, so that's why he baited Shadow. Maybe if shadow energy sticks on an extraordinary warrior like Shadow, then that shadow energy will become stronger. After Titan's demise, we did see a shadow energy crawled away from the Gates. That might be the thing we call Shadow Mind now. And it's probably the shadow of Shadow (duh again) that become sentient, and malevolent.

Oh, and Shadow Mind may have nothing to do about the shadow energies spreading to the world. When the Gates opened, Shadow didn't close it instantly. It might gave enough time for all the energy inside the Gates to crawl away to the world. And whatever these tech is, Act 7 tech seems too much for normal humans' mind. Shadow is capable of understanding them thanks to spending a considerable time in the Shadow World. Aside from that, the best you could do is imitate them, but you can't duplicate them.

And I'm with Dark darer, it's best to wait for the next chapters. We're lacking factual infos now. Who know, maybe all our theories could be false :P
