The spells are 2nd and 4th level and provide a +5 armor and +8 armor for hours per level. In addition, they have the affect of the daylight spell centered on you, and all foes trying to strike you in melee have a -4 penalty. By the rules in HoB for this type of spell a cleric can cast it spontaneously. All at the low low cost of abit of str damage (1d2 for the 2nd and 1d3 for the 4th). Since both are less than the 1d4 of healing from lesser restoration, the spell just requires an extra 2nd level to cast.For times that you want to be sneaky, you can use deeper darkness to suppress the effect. Since deeper darkness is an emanation, it can be cast on a pebble that goes into a sack when you want the daylight effect.Given the effect of the spell and the costs of the spell, it is fairly apparent exactly why it is considered too good.</blockquote>
