Darkness
Occult Spell, Illusory, Incantation (1 AP; max 1 hour), Ritualize
APC: 3
SPC: 8
Range: 600 ft
Requirements: Gesture, Line of Effect
Duration: Up to 1 hour
Choose a point within range. Magical darkness swirls out from that point in a 20 ft radius. It spreads around corners but is limited by any physical barrier like a pane of glass or a magical force field. For the duration, this darkness is considered magical; mundane light sources are not extinguished but shed no light while in this area, and nonmagical vision is insufficient to see anything in the area. If a creature attempts to magically see using the Arcane Source or Divine Source, make a magic attack against their ANT. On a hit, the spell fails and they still expend their SP.
Upcharge: +5 ft per +2 SP.
Ritualize: If casting this spell as a ritual, the casting takes 30 minutes. It costs no SP initially when cast as a ritual, but you must spend SP if you wish to upcharge it. Once completed, the darkness lasts for the full duration without any need to Incant This spell can be cast as a ritual once, and you regain the ability to cast it upon Recouping.
