Message: <blockquote data-quote="The Oracle" data-source="post: 29893" data-attributes="member: 1633">Darkness on the Edge of TownThe behavior of darkness is, IMHO, best handled as a variant of light in all cases. So, whatever can be done with light also can be done with darkness. We had this come up in a Living Greyhawk modules, we opened a door in a building which had darkness cast in it, producing, in this case, a cone of darkness that bled out from the door. We debated whether it should be a column of light shaped like the door, or a cone, or if it should just complete the circle it would have made, and a cone of darkness made the most sense, just as if it had been pitch black, and someone had a strong light inside when the door was opened.The spell Darkness must be placed on an object, and if that object is placed in another object (or is covered by it) it will be blocked ONLY if the object is lightproof, so a clear bottle won't work. A ceramic or clay pot would if it contained a 'darkened' rock. This would make a good projectile weapon, as it doesn't have to be very accurate to be effective.</blockquote>
