Description: This spell causes magical darkness in a 20-foot radius. The illumination level in the area cannot be any brighter than dim light, and normal lights are incapable of brightening the area beyond this level. Magical light can only brighten the area beyond a dim light if they are cast at a higher level than this spell. If darkness is cast on a small object that is then placed inside or under a lightproof covering, the spell's effect is blocked until the covering is removed. Because this darkness is magical, it affects all creatures, even those with low-light vision or darkvision.

Leveling: At level 3, the effect becomes total darkness instead of dim light. Creatures with darkvision are still unable to see in this magical darkness. At level 4, the radius of the effect increases to 60 feet.
