Maddening Darkness
8th-level, Evocation
- Casting time: 1 Action
- Range: 150 feet
- Components: V, M (a drop of pitch mixed with a drop of mercury)
- Duration: Concentration, up to 10 minutes
Magical darkness spreads from a point you choose within range to fill a 60-foot-radius sphere until the spell ends. The darkness spreads around corners. A creature with darkvision can’t see through this darkness. Non-magical light, as well as light created by spells of 8th level or lower, can’t illuminate the area.
Shrieks, gibbering, and mad laughter can be heard within the sphere. Whenever a creature starts its turn in the sphere, it must make a Wisdom saving throw, taking 8d8 psychic damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
Classes: Bard; Wizard; Cleric (Arcana Domain); Warlock
