This spell creates an area of absolute blackness that no light, short of an utterlight, can penetrate. The area is a sphere with a radius of 5 feet per rank though it will conform to the area in which it is cast (i.e., Utterdark cannot pass through solid, opaque objects that would not normally pass light). Magical lights, except utterlight, will be extinguished. If an utterlight is brought into an utterdark field, it will provide 1 foot radius illumination per rank of the utterlight spell. If Utterlight is cast at an Utterdark field, a resistance roll is required with the winning spell prevailing and the other failing entirely. Once cast, the effects of this spell are not mobile (i.e. it may not be cast on an object and the object carried around). |
