So, since there is a light spell, how come there isn't a darkness spell that makes the room magically dark?
This seems like it would be a nice spell for Dark Elf followers of Arachnus to have.

Already planning that :D

Current thoughts are to have the spell centered on a person and have any room they are in magically dark. I'd like to code it soon.

This has been coded, but it's in the testing phase, so it needs some scrutiny before it'll go live.

similar to darkness how bout a spell like:
[shadow-meld]
Cost: X
Allows the caster to shift into the shadows and sneak 100% of the time until discovered by a mob/player or until duration expires(in sneakable rooms). *Maybe make search UNHIDE found hidden players*.

Since the caster is hidden in the shadows d-i would not detect them, maybe make an INSTANT-type spell called reveal that could (vs save vs magic/stat) unhide anyone in room.
