Darkness

cast 'darkness' target

• Accumulative: No
• Duration: (level of caster) hours
• Save: None

This spell is really useless unless your race happens to be dark elf. This spell enables the dark elf race to move about in rooms/areas that are lighted without having any minus to do so. It also hides sanctuary and fireshield spells from the casual observer. This spell can be used to cancel create or continual light spells.

Some items surround their wearer with the same darkness while worn (identify shows "SPELL AFFECT By DARKNESS"). Dispel magic can lift it, but it returns as soon as the wearer's spells or equipment change.
