[QUOTE="DrSpunj, post: 86665, member: 994"] Here is the info on this spell from the SRD: 1) Does Deeper Darkness cast for effect (meaning, you are trying to create an area of magical darkness, not using it for countering or dispelling) automatically dispel a Continual Flame? 2) Does Deeper Darkness cast for effect have any effect of the glow of magical weapons? My confusion arises from several things. Casting Deeper Darkness for effect is fine, but I don't think it should affect magical items (like magical weapons and Everburning Torches, for example) unless the spell is used specifically against these items for dispelling purposes, similar to a Targeted Dispel from Dispel Magic. If the Deeper Darkness is cast for effect I believe this is more similar to an Area Dispel from Dispel Magic and therefore any Light orison/cantrip spells would be dispelled easily, and mundane light sources would be suppressed for the duration of Deeper Darkness, but I don't believe magical item effects should be affected at all. I sent a message to the Sage asking similar questions (that I brought up in an old thread from here in late January) but never received any response from him. Anyone with opinions? Thanks. [/QUOTE]
