[QUOTE="JacktheRabbit, post: 4940645, member: 525"] How does this spell work? The text seems to completely contradict itself. The first line says you see normally in natural and magical darkness. But then goes on to say it does not improve vision natural dark or shadowy conditions. Huh? Then it gets more confusing cause it says it removes all miss chance from lack of illumination except total darkness. Can someone please explain how any of this is supposed to make any sense at all? I want to use this spell to cast on myself, then cast darkness on myself, charge at enemies and beat them down badly while they flounder around in the dark. With the odd description I cannot tell when this spell will or will not function. EBON EYES Transmutation Level: Assassin 1, cleric 1, sorcerer/ wizard 1 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Touch Target: Creature touched Duration: 10 minutes/level Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: Yes (harmless) The subject of this spell gains the ability to see normally in natural and magical darkness, although it does not otherwise improve the subject’s ability to see in natural dark or shadowy conditions. The subject ignores the miss chance due to lack of illumination other than total darkness. While the spell is in effect, a jet-black film covers the subject’s eyes, a visual effect that gives the spell its name. Material Component: A pinch of powdered black gemstone of any type. [/QUOTE]
