Darkness

Action – 15 ft Radius (60 feet.) – 2nd Level (Illusion) – VM – Concentration (10 Minutes)

You either smear a drop of pitch on your hands or step on a piece of brittle coal, conjuring a black smokey globe which no light can penetrate.

Area Hazard

  • You create darkness that cannot be seen through even by creatures with darkvision. This magical darkness spreads arounds corners.
  • Non-magic light can’t spread through the darkness.
  • If this spell overlaps with an area of light created by a spell of 1st level or lower*, the spell that created the light is dispelled.
  • If the point you choose is an object you are holding or one that is being worn or carried the darkness is exuded by the object and moves with it.

*Upcasting: The level of light-creating spell Darkness can dispel increases by 1 for each spell level above 2nd level.
