Darkness

2nd-level evocation

As you finish the incantation, an inexorable cold seeps from your chest, through your arms, and leaves your fingertips. A shadow, like a cloud across the sun, passes over you. The shadow deepens and extends, fingers grasping and catching the light. Darkness falls, deep and sudden—yet it responds to your touch, answers your call.

Casting Time: 1 action

Components: V, M (bat fur and a drop of pitch or piece of coal)

Duration: Concentration, up to 10 minutes

Mul Effect: Normal

Magical darkness spreads from a point you choose within range to fill a 15-foot-radius sphere for the

duration. The darkness spreads around corners. A creature with darkvision can’t see through this darkness, and nonmagical light can’t illuminate it.

• If the point you choose is on an object you are holding or one that isn’t being worn or carried, the darkness emanates from the object and moves with it. Completely covering the source of the darkness with an opaque object, such as a bowl or a helm, blocks the darkness.
• If any of this spell’s area overlaps with an area of light created by a spell of 2nd level or lower, the spell that created the light is dispelled.
