Momentary darkness
Spell: MOMENTARY DARKNESS (a luminescent silver scroll)
School: Illusion
Complexity: 75%
Target: General Area Effect
SP Cost: 101 – 237
Classes that acquire this proficiency:
Ranger, Wizard
Description:
This spell creates a sudden magical darkness in the same room as the caster. The sudden darkness will stop all combat in the room as well as preventing any targeted spells (spells that are not area-effect) from landing or being cast. Momentarily dark rooms cannot be 'look'ed into or out of, cannot by scanned into or past, but can be scanned *from*. Players in that room cannot cannot see anyone on 'where' and are not seen on 'where'. They cannot see anyone else on 'clan where' or 'alliance where', and voices heard over channels are those heard while blind. Note that some aggressive mobiles can still attack, regardless of momentary darkness. This is because NPCs cheat, and we hate them for it. This is a 5 second spell without a spell-delivery amulet and can be cast in combat. Smoke bombs mimic the momentary darkness effect.
