If you're going by Naruto logic, a shadow clone pretty much does anything the original can until it runs out of chakra or gets hit hard enough. In the DVD commentary, they refer to her ability as making shadow clones. Blake's clones on the other hand don't seem to move on their own and how "solid" they are seems to change. During the fight in the most recent episode, they act as simple illusions that the Grimm pass threw.

I'm starting to wonder if her ability is like the Lord Marshal in The Chronicles of Riddick. For those that don't know, the Lord Marshal can send his "soul" in one direction and his body will be instantly pulled in that direction a second later, like slow teleportation. Blake's ability kind of works in reverse, having her shadows push her in a direction instead of pull.
