That’s also impossible to visualize from an outside perspective. What it’s behaving like is smoke, or fog, or some other non-solid opaque medium. Hence the opaque darkness interpretation being the more intuitive.I would argue it’s absolutely vital to understand what it looks like from the outside, so that the DM can adequately describe the environment to players whose characters are outside the area of the spell. What am I, as DM, supposed to tell the dog’s player he sees? A dome of blackness? Trees, flowers, and a mushroom in the distance and the silhouette of a bunny? Is the bunny blocking line of sight to the mushroom? Is the bunny just invisible and everything else looks normal? None of these answers really seem consistent with either what we intuitively expect “free-standing darkness” to look like.</blockquote>
