Darkness

Fill an area with supernatural darkness

Available Levels
12357910

Darkness fills one or more areas with supernatural gloom. A creature unable to see through it is Blinded (see 3): it cannot dodge or parry an attack it cannot perceive, and must use a prescribed chance to find its own targets. An attacker who sees a blinded opponent strikes unseen and deals automatic critical hits (see 2).

A successful Dispel Magic removes Darkness. Light can also oppose it; Light gains +10% on the caster level check. Dispelling one connected area removes the entire casting.
