Darkness masters the suppression of light, and the creation of magical darkness. It obscures, conceals, and distracts.

Special Uses

Much like Light, Darkness may be used to make simple, visual-only illusions. To make complex illusions it must be combined with Mind. Unlike Light, the illusions created by Darkness have a mild amount of form, and so can be used to interact with the world in limited ways.

Use in Mixed Spells

Combined with Mind, and/or Light, illusions become more powerful.

Counterspells

May be used to counter Light spells.

Example Spells

Snuff; Darkness; DC 14, A single, nonmagical light source within 60 feet is immediately extinguished. If it is a fire it continues burning but emits no light.

Blindfold; Darkness; DC 21, You wrap the eyes of a single enemy within 60 feet in Darkness, rendering them Blind for 10 minutes. If they manage to bring a source of illumination as bright or brighter than a torch up to their face, the spell is broken.

Night Cloak; Darkness; DC 25, You wrap yourself in shadows, gaining a 20% miss chance against melee and ranged attacks and a +4 to Hide checks in dark or shadowy areas.
