Effect: Plunges Area: Sphere with a Radius determined by the effectiveness score into Darkness. This must be centered on a point within Range: 30m. This Darkness allows no light to pass through it, whether magical or not. If someone peered inside from outside, they would see only a thick black haze.

If the Darkness is normal, all characters within it take the −4 penalty for poor vision. Characters with Darkvision don’t take this penalty. If the Darkness is magical, it cannot be seen through with Darkvision, and all characters instead take a −8 penalty for poor vision.

This effect lasts for as long as the caster uses spell maintenance.
