Dark

Target: Single Target

Duration: Instant

Avoidance: Dodge

Special:

Type: Utility

This spell causes an object to radiate shadowy illumination out to a 20’ radius (every level expands it by another 20’). All creatures in the area become concealed, making any actions towards them Difficult . Even creatures that can normally see in such conditions (such as with dark vision) have the miss chance in an area shrouded in magical darkness.

Normal lights (torches, candles, lanterns, and so forth) are incapable of brightening the area, as are light spells of lower level.

If Dark is cast on a small object that is then placed inside or under a light-proof covering, the spell’s effect is blocked until the covering is removed.

Darkness counters and dispels a Light spell (one with the light descriptor) by a Heroic action vs the opposing mage using the Spellcraft Skill.

Spellcraft failure: The spell fizzles, and mana is lost.
