  • Casting Time: 1 action
  • Range: 60 feet
  • Components: V, S, M (a piece of coal and a dried eyeball from any creature)
  • Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute

You invoke a stationary 20-foot radius sphere of magical darkness that emanates from a point you can see within range. This darkness blocks darkvision and all nonmagical light sources, but you can see normally through the area. You can cast the darkness on an object and carry it with you. The darkness radiates from such an object, and you can block the darkness by covering the object, as if hiding the light of a lantern. If the area of the darkness intersects with an area of magical light created by a spell of 3rd level or lower, the spell that created the light is instantly dispelled.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, the radius of the sphere increases by five feet for every slot level above 3rd.
