Is the concealment granted by a Warlock's Shadow Walk feature total or partial?

I'm having an argument with one of my players. Were in combat and the init order at this point is the fighter at 28, his ranger at 27 and then my Azers at 26. He delays his fighter till initiative 26. At which point the game comes to a grinding halt because he argues that the Azers make way for the fighter who strikes now. I argued that it's fall to the initiative modifier due to the fact they both are acting at this point.
Which is correct in your opinions? We have bith checked the Compendium and feel that this backes both sides of the argument. I have for the sake of gameplay decided to simply continue and allow him his way but I could do with a solid reasoning if this happens again.
Thanks to everyone that responded, it's been most useful

I was re-reading the forced movement rules, and I noticed something interesting in the explanation of 'slide'. When two characters swap places, the target is slid to the player's space. The player then shifts into a space that the target occupied. My question: can this shift benefit from feats, utility powers and item properties/powers that normally activate on "real" shifts (ie, shifts that use a proper move action)?

Yes. But he will have to end in the destination space since swapping's destination is specified (RC 212)

Because the destination space is predetermined by the power, things that increase shift distance are completely useless, but the character doing the shifting may be able to get other effects or bonuses dependent on shifting, such as a staff of the traveler's item property turning that shift into a teleport...

I have a question about how the "Student of the Sword" feat interacts with the Blackstaff Apprentice Theme. I've looked, and while many people seem to assume this works the way I think it does, I can't nail a down a solid answer. Student of the Sword grants you a spellbook. That's pretty clear. You have a spellbook in which you record your swordmage spells.
The confusion comes with how this interacts with Blackstaff Apprentice's prerequisites:
Class Prerequisite: Wizard. You must be able to prepare spells from a spellbook (such as with the Arcanist’s Spellbook, Bladesinger’s Spellbook, or Mage’s Spellbook class feature).
Now I would think that if you had a swordmage character that either MCed or hybrided wizard and took Student of the Sword you could choose this theme. Since you can prepare spells from a spellbook, and you count as a wizard. Is that right?
To go one step further, into possibly cheesy territory, could you do all of this if you somehow managed to get two MCs (bard, Traveller's Harlequin), put one in Swordmage and one in Wizard, and then took Student of the Sword? You *could* prepare spells from a spellbook, if you had any spells in your spellbook, so...

Or a hybrid Swordmage|Wizard with that feat, since hybrid Wizard's don't use a spellbook either...

"A spellbook" is a physical object.

No confusion: You require a Spellbook Class Feature that allows you to choose prepared spells from a spellbook. Simply owning a spellbook, which any Fighter can do for some cash and that MC Swordmages get for free, is not enough.
Now I would think that if you had a swordmage character that either MCed or hybrided wizard and took Student of the Sword you could choose this theme. Since you can prepare spells from a spellbook, and you count as a wizard. Is that right?
Nope. You have a spellbook (physical object). You do not have the ability to choose which spells to prepare from a spellbook (class feature). Blackstaff Apprentice requires that second one.

Sorry i have to ask, but when looking for rules questions I found several posts quoting" RC pg. xxx" or e.g. RC 222. Where do I find those? What is "RC" referencing?
